The phone does not have a SIM card slot
Two types of phones do not have a SIM card slot -- phones that are eSIM ONLY and older CDMA devices.
If your phone is newer, released after 2019, your device is likely eSIM-only and cannot be used with a physical SIM card. These devices are compatible with our service! Please feel free to shop our eSIM plans at redpocket.com/shop.
Phones that are older, CDMA devices were released prior to the 3G shutdown. In 2022, the 3G network shut down completely, rendering phones without VoLTE compatibility inoperable. Unfortunately, in this case, you would need to upgrade to a VoLTE-compatible device. Please click here to browse our VoLTE-compatible phones.

The phone has a SIM card slot, but I do not own a SIM card
If you have a compatible phone and are wondering whether you need a SIM card, there's no need to worry! When you select and purchase a wireless plan from RedPocket Mobile, we will supply you with a SIM card.
Once you complete your plan purchase, we will send you a physical SIM card by mail if you chose that option. If you opted for an eSIM, you will receive it via email. To explore our available plans, please visit redpocket.com/plans.
