About Red Pocket

Red Pocket Mobile is an MVNO that began operating in 2006. They serve customers around the nation and offer wireless services without a contract on both GSM and CDMA networks. This makes Red Pocket unique in the industry, as subscribers can select from plans on the network of their choice, rather than being limited to a single one.

Red Pocket currently offers a variety of plans to meet the needs of their users. These include monthly and per-minute calling plans, mobile data only service, as well as plans with unlimited talk and texting. The majority of their service plans are monthly, but users can purchase prepaid refills and top up their account whenever they need to. Here is an overview of their services:

GSM Plans

Red Pocket provides GSM plans with unlimited talk, texting and global MMS. Options with mobile Internet and up to 200 minutes of international calling are also available. Users can sign up for automatic billing with their monthly plans, which will refill their accounts automatically.

4G Mobile Internet

Red Pocket's 4G mobile Internet plans offer access to the Internet anywhere in the nation at full 4G speeds, including tethering, which lets subscribers use their mobile Internet service on a device other than their smartphone, such as a tablet or laptop.

CDMA Plans

CDMA plans all include unlimited talk, mobile web browsing, texting and global MMS, plus up to 200 minutes of calls to international destinations.

When it comes to devices, Red Pocket doesn't sell phones directly to their customers. Those who sign up for their service have the opportunity to purchase a device from one of their partners. Both new and used standard phones as well as smartphones are offered. Customers who already have a device can purchase a Red Pocket Mobile SIM card and use it with any unlocked GSM phone that supports the standard 850/1900 mHz frequencies used in North America. Devices sold by T-Mobile and AT&T may be used on their GSM plans. CDMA devices from Verizon and Sprint are compatible with their CDMA service plans.
