Red Pocket Mobile Introduces New $15 Essentials Plan

Red Pocket Mobile recently launched its new $15 Essentials wireless plan, and on top of that, also decided to boost the data allotments in its other existing options. As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) who leases network capacity from all the members of the Big Four (Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint), the carrier is able to deliver good coverage for its price.

So about that $15 Essentials plan -- it basically delivers a thousand minutes of voice calls, another thousand text messages, and a gigabyte of LTE data. The cool thing about the plan is that interested parties are free to bring their own handset, and if they can choose to, they can also buy a device from Red Pocket Mobile. 

As for the data allotment boosts, the MVNO has made changes to the following current plans:

• $20 Plan ($19 only if the customer decides to add Auto Pay) -- Offering unlimited minutes of voice calls, unlimited text messaging, and 500 megabytes of data (previously only 100 megabytes)

• $30 Plan ($25 only if the customer decides to add Auto Pay) -- Offering unlimited minutes of voice calls, unlimited text messaging, and 1.5 gigabytes of data (previously only 500 megabytes)

• $35 Plan ($30 only if the customer decides to add Auto Pay) -- Offering unlimited minutes of voice calls, unlimited text messaging, and 35 gigabytes of high speed data (previously only 2.5 gigabytes)

The unchanged plans are as follows:

• $10 Plan -- Offering 500 minutes of voice calls, 500 text messages, and 100 megabytes of data

• $50 Plan ($45 only if the customer decides to add Auto Pay) -- Offering unlimited minutes of voice calls, unlimited text messaging, and 5 gigabytes of high speed data, with unlimited 2G data

• $65 Plan ($60 only if the customer decides to add Auto Pay) -- Offering unlimited minutes of voice calls, unlimited text messaging, and 8 gigabytes of high speed data, with unlimited 2G data

As always, Red Pocket Mobile’s prepaid plans retain their simple set up -- customers need only pay for the service upfront, without any hidden costs, no contracts, no activation charges, no early termination fees, and no data overage charges. Users also get to enjoy unlimited international voice calls to landline phone numbers (and some mobile phone numbers depending on which country the calls are made to) to more than 72 countries around the world. And if customers want to change, the MVNO’s flexible structure allows people to change the amount of voice call minutes, text messages, and megabytes of data they want on their plan.
