Most devices will work with Red Pocket on one or more of our network options. Learn about our different network options by reading this FAQ.
What devices will NOT work with this service?
Even though we work with all different types of devices, some exclusions apply. These include:
- Locked Tracfone devices
- Boost/Virgin Mobile Branded devices
- Devices reported lost or stolen
- Devices reported for fraud
- Devices under an existing contract with another carrier or if funds are still owed to your old carrier so they block the use of your phone with us.
While unsupported devices may be activated on CDMA, we have to warn you that there are risks involved in doing so. We are not fully trained on how to assist Unsupported Devices. There could be applications and features on your Device that could limit or restrict your service from working properly. We also have to warn you that if we are informed that the Device is unauthorized for use on Red Pocket Mobile CDMA it could get disconnected from services which would be out of our control to prevent. In case that your device gets disconnected, we will be able to recover your phone number but you would need to re-activate a new device.

The very first line has broken link:
"To check your CDMA device compatibility with Red Pocket Mobile go to RedPocket.com/start ..."
RedPocket.com/start is a link to https://help.goredpocket.com/hc/en-us/articles/RedPocket.com/start which does not exist.
Maybe you mean redpocket.com/start which redirects to redpocket.com/activate But you need to have a sim# to use that.
In any case, I cannot find any place to put in an imei number on your website to check compatiblity without having first bought a sim. It would be nice if you have a place to put in the imei number, and not only would it check compatiblity, it would tell you what sim kit(s) to buy, and link to coverage maps.
It appears that RedPocket needs to hire this guy. I might switch my 4 Verizon phones to RedPocket, but I want to check that my Galaxy Note 9 is compatible. I do have one Iphone setup with RedPocket using the AT&T network and it works great, but....
