I was exploring light-use prepaid phone plans today and stumbled across this. This is an upgrade from a previous similar deal in that it's slightly more data, and doesn't require a $99/year upfront cost.

These plans are obviously for light-use users, such as the elderly, or very frugal slickdealers. Wink If 100MB isn't enough for you personally, please move along or link to a better deal at this price point.

In particular I thought this was worth posting for people in areas where Verizon is the only option for coverage, as I've found nothing else that uses Verizon at this price point (although Expo Mobile has a good Pay As You Go option if you don't need any data).

The plans:

GSMA (AT&T): https://goredpocket.com/plans#gsma
CDMAS (Sprint): https://goredpocket.com/plans#cdmas

Click the "See All Plans" button, and scroll to the bottom of the list to find the ESSENTIALS plan for the following:
GSMT (T-Mobile): https://goredpocket.com/plans#gsmt
CDMAV (Verizon): https://goredpocket.com/plans#cdmav



Look for the ESSENTIALS plan. In some cases you may need to click a link that says "See all plans" and scroll to the bottom of the list.


Alternatively, you can get the plans above for $8.25/month for 12 months if you purchase a Red Pocket SIM for $99 on eBay [ebay.com].
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Take a look at overages... there is not a pay per unit overage.

Direct international dial will only work with the GSMA, GSMT and CDMAS platforms. It does not work with CDMAV, and requires first dialing to an access number.

100 mb at LTE speed is a joke
That's usually the case with prepaid so I'd assume so here.

If you're cool with T-Mobile, look at SpeedTalk's $9/month plan which gets 250 minutes, 250 texts and 250MB.

Alternatively, there's a $19/month Red Pocket plan on T-Mobile (GSMT) that gets you 250 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB LTE data.
Where can you get more for $10/mo on Verizon?

Had me at 500 Texts... but lost me at 100MB. Of course, I only need 250-400MB per month.

100 MB of data for $10 a month when freedompop offers 1GB on sprint, or 700MB on AT&T for 100% free. Interesting.

100 MB LTE Frown.

Does anyone offer anything close to 500 minutes, 500 text and 500 MB or 1 GB for around $20/month?
