What's interesting about red pocket is that they may not charge tax on the phone, and may ship unlocked phones, ymmv.

Rebate Offer Details

$100 Rebate after 3 consecutive recurring payments on the $20, $30, or $40 monthly GSMA unlimited plans.

Valid for new and existing customers. Existing customers must have a qualifying plan.

Only one rebate is valid per line, per year.
The StraightTalk deal for $364 is better as there is no rebate involved. But you do have to wait 60 days to unlock it. https://slickdeals.net/f/18133426-apple-iphone-16e-128gb-prepaid-at-straight-talk-365

This offer is specific to iPhone 16e and is unlocked without the 12 months associated with other offers. With this in mind, we would appreciate the opportunity to take a closer look at your order and ensure your device was unlocked per the terms signed up for. Please reach out via [email protected]. Thanks!

I have purchased redpocket phones for several years for the entire family and never ever received unlocked phones. Can confirm it's a "less than zero" case what so ever

Looks like a good deal. I would switch over if I didn't already prepay for 1 year of service with another provider....

Looks like a good deal, I'm wondering if I can do 2 lines, it says that it's "Valid one rebate per line, per year", but I want to port 2 lines. Does anybody have input?

Same thing happened to me. Hopefully it will unlock soon. Also, read the fine print on the rebate terms. I think we must actually pay for 4 months. The first month that you pay for when you buy the phone and 3 months on autopay. It says, "The initial plan purchase does not count toward the 3 consecutive recurring charges." https://help.redpocket.com/rebate...rebatework

I purchased iPhone 17 blue 256Gb from RedPocket

No tax charged, and phone arrived unlocked.

Took 7 mins to port out from old and into the new RedPocket network. Smooth and seamless

How long did it take to ship? Was it on backorder?
