Is Red Pocket 1GB Worth It for 1 Line?

Red Pocket's 1GB plan for 1 line costs $9.17 per month.

It rides on the AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon networks for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 1GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 64Kbps. You can use up to all 1GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 720p quality.

The Red Pocket 1GB Annual plan has deprioritized data. Having deprioritized data means you may temporarily experience slower speeds during times when the cellular network is busy. You'll resume getting the fastest speeds available when the network is no longer busy.

Taxes and fees are extra on this plan. I estimate they will add another $1.75 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $10.92 per month.

Overall, I do not recommend the Red Pocket 1GB Annual plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
