Swapping phones is easy
Insert your SIM card into the new device.
Consider the SIM card size that your new phone needs. Simply insert your SIM into the new device if the current SIM fits well. That should automatically change the device that is assigned to your online Red Pocket Mobile account and you can use your new phone with your current plan balance.
A new SIM is needed if your current SIM does not fit inside of your new device. Customer support must issue you a new SIM. Visit redpocket.com/contact-us.
Update your account ICCID number
You account should be updated automatically with your new phone's IMEI or MEID number, once you put your SIM card into the new device. However, if this update does not occur within 24 hours, you'll want to manually update this number. When your online account's MEID or IMEI number does not match the device used with your SIM you may find that certain device features don't work properly.
To see if the IMEI or MEID number has been updated, or updated this number manually, log in to your online account a redpocket.com/my-lines. Click on your line, then click the Summary tab.
If the number under the "Device ID" section does not match the serial number in your phone's settings section, update it by clicking on the Edit icon.
