Hi everyone, to clarify, this limited-time offer of $200 savings on the iPhone 17 lineup is unlocked upon receiving your order. So there isn't a 12-month locking period as stated in the Deal Details. This offer is also available to existing customers.

Please let us know if you have any questions that we can have answered. Our team is available via chat support, and you can connect with us via [email protected] for any questions regarding your account and eligibility.

I spoke to customer service and they confirmed phone is unlocked and you need to pay for 3 months to get the rebate and ensure line is active till you get the rebate meaning it may stretch to 4 months. But the phone is unlocked from the get go and stays unlocked irrespective of rebate...
Here is the conversation :
"I have a question about iPhone 17 preorder.. if I want the rebate are the phones locked or unlocked ?
Thank you for your interest in our RedPocket phones and deals, XXXXX. The iPhone 17 we offer is fully unlocked, and you will receive the rebate with the unlocked device.
so I can use red pocket and another eSim along side and still get the rebate after 3 months ?
Regarding that, XXXX, that's correct—you can use an eSIM from another carrier while with RedPocket. Just make sure to install the RedPocket eSIM first before the other carrier. Also, ensure the line is active within 3 months to qualify for the rebate.
ok after 3 months do I need still to keep the red pocket line active for the phone to stay unlocked ?
RP CS Mellisa 07:39 PM
After claiming the rebate, you have the option to either keep the line active or not. Since the device is purchased unlocked, it will remain unlocked once you receive the rebate. Just be sure to claim the rebate first."

I'm very disappointed. Last year, there was a total discount of $300. The iPhone 15 Pro Max 512GB for $600 doesn't seem like a bad deal.

this seems reasonable, no? do I understand correctly that it's unlocked out of the gate? $60 for 3mo of service seems worth a $200 discount. it does say it requires a port in, do they accept google voice numbers?

Do they still have issues with randomly suspending accounts for no reason?

Do they play games providing rebates?

I have a mint plan to December, can I purchase and use my mint service for a couple of months before transferring?

When the phone is tagged unlocked in the website is it unlocked out of the box or is there a waiting period?

Hi, I purchased an iphone 16 from Red pocket on 9/16/2024 and activated it on 10/9/2024. Now I am trying to pre-order an iphone 17 from Red pocket using "Device Upgrade" option, After selecting "Device Upgrade" in iphone 17 page, I selected my phone number from "Choose line" drop down box, then I clicked "Pre-order" black button on the bottom, the page gives me an error message "Error! Please select an eligible line"

(Btw, my iphone 16 just got unlocked today after chatting with CS - my 12th refill payment on this line was on 8/30/2025 which makes the phone eligible for unlock).

Update:
Chat with CS and was told that the error on pre-order is because rebate policy is "one rebate per line, per year", and I received rebate on iphone 16 so I can't upgrade device to iphone 17 until after rolling 365 days has passed since iphone 16 activation date (10/9/2024).
So I can't ever order iphone 17 even if I don't want iphone 17's rebate? This makes no sense.

Plan purchase required, also number must be ported from another carrier. So there is an additional cost to just the phone. Current customers would benefit here if eligible for an upgrade it seems.

Red pocket customer service, are the iPhone 17's fully unlocked whether it gets activated with red pocket or another carrier? Asking because your website lists the phone as unlocked.

iPhone 15 pro max: How is the rebate paid after three months? Is the phone already unlocked?

Edit: found on website, phone is listed as unlocked and rebate is paid as virtual Visa card after three months of service. Don't know whether getting rebate means the phone is locked or unlocked. Google search says if you want the rebate, the phone is locked.

Rebate Promotion: Unlocking iPhone models bought under a rebate promotion voids the advertised rebate amount. Requires service for one year to be unlocked by request. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks OP. Good deal on an older model iPhone.

is there ever a great deal on new iPhones? red pocket at least has cheap plans and good service. When pixel and Samsung be phones this year have been stingy with sales, I don't think we'll see much better for iPhone. maybe in a few months and only for the big 3, all of which require the most expensive plans for now. Either way, I won't ever go back to the legacy carriers..no reason to pay more than $20 max monthly for cell service nowadays
