Save up to $200 on the Apple iPhone 12 Pro with Red Pocket Mobile
The 64GB iPhone 12 with the same network plan will cost you $749, and you’ll pay $799 for the 128GB phone, and $899 for the 256GB unit. With these prices, you’ll be saving $80 on each model. The iPhone 12 units sold by the MVNO are locked to it for no less than a 12-month period. Even if you subscribe month-to-month, these devices will remain locked to the MVNO for at least one year.
While this does sound a little like the old days when carriers subsidized the price of new phones, there is a major, major caveat. Even though the new iPhone models are 5G capable as Red Pocket Mobile points out, subscribers only connect to 4G LTE service. Those who don’t care about 5G and opt in order to save a few bucks on the cost of a new iPhone 12 model need to be in an area where there is decent AT&T coverage. And as long as a Red Pocket Mobile account is open, the subscriber will get AppleCare for free.
One last thing. The MVNO’s website makes a point of saying “This device is on preorder with the manufacturer. We will ship it to you as soon as we receive it.” So you might also have to have some patience if you plan on saving some money on your iPhone or iPhone 12 Pro purchase.
