What is the RedPocket Activation Code?

The RedPocket activation code, also known as the activation PIN, is a 14-digit number. It's necessary to start your RedPocket Mobile service. You'll get this PIN if you purchase a prepaid phone plan from third-party platforms like eBay or Amazon.

Why is the Activation Code Important?

You need your activation code to start using your new RedPocket SIM card. Without it, you'll only be able to use your device on WiFi. The activation code is how you'll turn your service on so you have a fully operational phone number.

Amazon, eBay, and RedPocket.com Orders: Know the Difference

When you order a SIM kit with a plan from Amazon or eBay, you'll get an activation PIN. Amazon will send this PIN through its messaging system, and eBay will send it to your registered email address within 1 business day. If you don't get an activation code, please contact the customer support team on the platform where you made your purchase.

Direct purchases from redpocket.com don't come with an activation PIN. Instead, you'll get a confirmation code with your SIM card. This code is promptly recognized during activation, signifying your selected plan. For more on RedPocket Mobile plans, visit redpocket.com/plans.
