I am one of those louder voices in the other Red Pocket threads who couldn't get the local RP representative to confirm or deny that hotspotting/tethering is included on the 5GB eBay plan... and therefore concluded that it is NOT included.

I have an older 5GB plan on my phone from last Black Friday season. Got it on eBay. Paid $120 at the time. That plan included hotspotting without a datacap... meaning I could use all of my 5GB of data via a hotspot through my phone, and presuably the "unlimited" 2G data that RP includes when your monthly data allowance is exhausted.

I went ahead and bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago and renewed via the $160 eBay sale price (yeah, I'm out $40... oh well). I know from experience that when applying a code to your account, if the code is for the exact same plan that you're already on, the system is supposed to add 360 days to your existing expiration date. If the code is for a different plan, the old plan is terminated and your new plan expires 360 days from that day. Sure, I could wait until "termination day" and apply the code to not worry about it, but I might be busy, and if it's supposed to just add 360 days, why not do it now?

Since I wanted to confirm that the expiration date would extend out into January 2025 rather than early December 2024, I got a CSR with me in chat. He confirmed that my understanding was correct - same plan = +360 days. So when I applied the code and the date came out wrong, the CSR fixed it on the spot. I'm good until late January 2025.

But here's the thing..... the previous plan HAD hotspotting. The new plan probably DOES NOT have hotspotting (otherwise the local RP guy would've quickly confirmed that as a feature). But when I applied the current 5GB eBay code to an existing 5GB eBay RP account - my hotspotting continues to work without a hitch.

Bear in mind - one data point does NOT mean that I've somehow broken the code. But if you have an existing Red Pocket 5GB plan you paid for through RP's eBay store last year, and you buy an identical plan as a renewal.... if you have hotspotting before, there's every reason to believe you'll have hotspotting later too. Just don't change plans....

Caveat emptor, YMMV, all those disclaimers go here.
Dear Red Pocket,

I think it's time for a new marketing team. Whoever designed your marketing and pricing strategy this holiday season should be transitioned to another function…or firm. You lost many long term customers, and now you'll have to fight tooth and nail to replace them with new ones…If it's even possible at all. This was your New Coke moment.
Totally. I am someone who left Redpocket for good.

It does not. However, their more expensive plans have hotspot as an add-on. Hotspot was the reason I switched to US Mobile, which also uses AT&T among other providers.

Yes, I did the same. There is a place to use the code for renewal.

I was about to get this but realized that this will mean losing my credit card cell phone insurance since the insurance plan requires a monthly payment. This is a great price if you don't need the insurance though.

I moved from RP to Infimobile for 3 lines. Significantly less expensive for me with the 15gb plan on Amazon (~$120 after coupon). Verizon based service is the same if not better.

A month ago, I renewed and upped my previous plan to the RedPocket Prepaid:
Unlimited everything, GSMT 8GB at $200/yr.
It has 5 GB per month high speed hot spot.

How much fees and taxes are added to the 1GB/$99 plan when I renew? I am thinking this is cheaper or similar cost.
