What is the RedPocket Activation Code?
The RedPocket Activation Code, also known as the Activation PIN, is a 14-digit number vital for starting your RedPocket Mobile service.
You will be provided with this PIN if you purchase a prepaid, often annual, phone plan from third-party platforms like eBay or Amazon.
Why is Your Activation Code Important?
The activation code bridges the gap between a new RedPocket SIM and a fully operational phone number. Without it, your iPhone, Samsung, or Android device remains a wifi-dependent gadget. It's the key to unlocking your RedPocket Mobile experience.
Amazon, eBay, and Redpocket.com Orders: Know the Difference
When you order a SIM kit with a plan from Amazon or eBay, you usually receive an Activation PIN. Specifically, Amazon will relay this PIN to you through its messaging system, and eBay will send it to your registered email address within 1 business day of your purchase. Contact the respective customer service teams via platform-specific messaging if there are any uncertainties regarding your Activation PIN from these platforms.
Conversely, direct purchases from redpocket.com don't come with an Activation PIN. Instead, you're provided a Confirmation Code accompanying your SIM card. This code is promptly recognized during activation, signifying your selected plan. For more on RedPocket Mobile plans, you can visit redpocket.com/plans.
How to Use the Activation Code
SIM Card and Activation PIN
When you purchase a RedPocket Mobile SIM card combined with a talk, text, and data plan from select partners, you'll receive an Activation PIN. This code is prevalent with eBay and Amazon orders.
Upon purchasing, ensure your device's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) and ICCID number (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) are handy, as these might be needed during the activation process.
