I do not know if this is an interum step, but I swapped a non-Sprint SIM into my s7 edge, then back to the Sprint/CV sim (why, because I can), and it is now active on Red Pocket. I have not idea what that means, or where my real number is, and the phone is now active on Sprint again. OK its not technically active, all calls go to Red Pocket, where one of the options is to activate service. Not doing that.
Maybe they are partnering with redpocket to deliver the cell side of the business? Redpocket are experienced multi-network operators so that would make sense.
I'll see if I can recreate your finding with my phone.
I was given a new number. It is hopefully an interim step to whatever the destination is..
Be careful though. This prevents you from porting out at least for now.
RedPocket prices are close to Ting (data wise and/or on the low end), so if we are being auto moved at some point (such as RingPlus to Ting), this would delay moving to a cheaper alternative, Tello, for instance.
Also, RedPocket has no roaming, so if you are sticking around to see if we still have roaming, that might not be a good sign.
Line is now active (with Chicago are number, go figur). I can make and receive calls (did not connect as I have no idea what we have for limits). RP does not give you balance status on the IVR, you have to have to use the website, and register of course. Skipping that until we know more.
Same here, my line is fully active and has a 331 area code.
Agree this would be the perfect time for Cellnuvo to step up and let us know what is going on!
Seems plausible cellnuvo are subcontracting redpocket to deliver the cellular side and cellnuvo will focus on the ad platform and bringing it all together. They are growing and might need help from a bigger player. It helps that redpocket have all 4 networks so maybe we are in for a treat with carrier choice.

We apologize, we were not informed of the change. We do have your number activated but we have no update on why it was transferred.
We will be more than happy to assist you in putting funds in your account and make your phone work.
Did some testing this morning. Calls work (yes completed calls), SMS works (both directions), MMS works (both directions), LTE data works, there is no roaming (as one would expect with Red Pocket).
I feel the status of the phone is in kind of gray status. I check the phone status with tello, it shows inactive. So I transferred my phone to tello and it works. If it was already with Red Pocket, I wouldn't be able to do that.
I didn't put in any request to port number though as it is not my primary number anyway.
My phone's still not activated, left it off overnight to no avail, still getting the redpocket automated message. They REALLY need to tell us what's going on.
