Overview of Red Pocket Mobile

Red Pocket Mobile is a US-based MVNO providing affordable prepaid wireless services. Its unique advantage is coverage over all four major US networks (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint). This means users can select the network best suited for their area or device.

  • Network codes (GSMT, GSMA, CDMA, CDMAS, Verizon): The correct APN settings depend on the network your SIM uses.
  • Flexible plans: Red Pocket Mobile offers options for individuals, families, and businesses—with compatible activation across the big four networks.

Because each network is slightly different, not all APN values are universal—proper configuration is critical for optimal service, especially if you ported your number or bought a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phone.

Identifying the Need for APN Configuration

The following symptoms typically mean your Red Pocket Mobile APN settings need updating or troubleshooting:

  • No mobile internet access, even with an active SIM and plan
  • Slow LTE or 5G speeds compared to Wi-Fi
  • Can’t send or receive MMS (picture/video messages)
  • VoLTE (HD Voice) or hotspot doesn’t work

Redditor kustomz148 shared: “Switched my iPhone XR to Red Pocket GSMA, lost data—fixed after I entered the APN: RESELLER.” On r/NoContract, “APN issues fixed my group chat MMS problem after days of frustration.”

How to Access APN Settings on a Mobile Device

  • For Android:
    1. Open Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network.
    2. Tap Advanced > Access Point Names (APNs).
    3. Add a new APN using the “+” or “Add” button if needed.
  • For iOS:
    1. Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Network.
    2. Edit the APN, Username, Password, and MMS sections as specified.

Tip: Sometimes you must restart your device for changes to take effect. If you don’t see the APN menu, make sure your SIM is active and inserted, as some devices hide this option until a SIM is detected.

Step-by-Step Guide to Configuring Red Pocket Mobile APN

  • Insert your active Red Pocket Mobile SIM card.
  • Follow the device steps from How to Access APN Settings on a Mobile Device above.
  • Delete any old or extra APNs.
  • Enter the recommended fields from the table that corresponds to your network (GSMA/AT&T = RESELLER, GSMT/T-Mobile = wholesale).
  • Save the new APN settings.
  • Restart your device to ensure changes take effect.

If you don’t see all fields, just enter as many as your phone offers—modern phones automatically fill or ignore irrelevant values.

Redditor “tonethousand” on r/RedPocketMobile: “Didn’t need a username/password. Only RESELLER for APN got everything working instantly.”

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

  • No data or slow data: Re-check APN entry. Use airplane mode toggle and restart.
  • MMS not working: Confirm MMSC, MMS Proxy, and MMS Port—these must match exactly.
  • Hotspot/Tethering not working: APN Type should include “dun” if supported. Some plans may block tethering—contact customer support for clarification.
  • VoLTE/HD Voice missing: Make sure your device is IMS-capable and on a compatible Red Pocket SIM plan.
  • Missing APN fields: Some devices, especially iPhones, limit APN editing. Contact Red Pocket support for an iOS profile, or try a third-party configuration profile.

When to contact support: If issues persist after correct entry and reboot, open a chat or call at Red Pocket Mobile support. Have your SIM number and device details handy.

User “pixelpal” said: “Red Pocket support quickly emailed me the correct iOS profile after I explained MMS was broken.”
