Save serious money with RedPocket’s Black Friday plans that start at $5 a month
You’re not going to believe this, but there’s one part of your life that’s not actually getting more expensive. If you switch to RedPocket Mobile during its Black Friday sale, you can ditch your costly carrier and get a plan that starts at $5 per month. It’s not too good to be true: RedPocket has been around for 20 years, and unlike most MVNOs, it’s independently owned and operated. That gives it the ability to offer you real network choice when you sign up for a new plan (we’ll explain more later), and keeps your costs low. Really low.
But you’re reading this on 9to5Google, so how does it impact you as an Android user? That’s a great question.
RedPocket is offering $150 rebates on Android devices like the Pixel 11, Galaxy S26, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Moto G Play, and more. (You can also get $100 rebates for iPhones if you’re into that sort of thing.)
These offers run from November 9 through the 30th at redpocket.com, so don’t wait too long to save big.
It’s OK if you haven’t heard of RedPocket Mobile, because it has been quietly working for 20 years to improve the way people use their phones. Founded in 2006, the company works with all three major US carriers — AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon — and because it doesn’t own any of its towers, it can pass along significant savings to its customers. Here’s what the company says on its website:
RedPocket was built for price-conscious consumers who want real value and freedom from rigid, high-cost contracts. As a no-contract carrier, we’ve stayed focused on making reliable, transparent, and flexible phone service for everyone. Our plans are designed to fit real lifestyles, whether you’re a heavy data user, a frequent traveler, or just looking to cut your monthly bill.
Most MVNOs are owned by the Big Three, which means you don’t really have a choice of network when you sign up. But RedPocket works with all three major carriers and lets you choose which one works best for your location and usage patterns.
RedPocket offers a tool called CoverageGenius that helps you decide which network is right for you. While you can’t switch between networks once your line is set up, it’s a great way to figure out where to start.
I teased that $5/month cost at the beginning of the article, but here’s the real breakdown: you can get a full year of service for $60 if you’re a light data user. RedPocket’s Annual Essentials and Annual Plus plans get you unlimited calling and texting in the US, along with calling and data roaming in dozens of countries around the world. The main difference is how much data you get: 3GB for Essentials and 20GB for Plus.
Annual Premium ups the ante to unlimited data, plus calling and data roaming in even more countries.
