  66. <h1>The Red Pocket Mobile tablet plans are gone</h1>
  67. <p>Day 00094: Tuesday, 2015 June 09</p>

  70. The past few days, I&apos;ve been looking for that $10 <abbr title="United States Dollars">USD</abbr> Red Pocket Mobile plan, but I have been unable to find it.
  71. It&apos;s as if it disappeared off the face of the Internet.
  72. I can&apos;t even find any real references to the plans, aside from articles without links and one advertisement on Duck Duck Go&apos;s search page, but that redirects to the smartphone <abbr title="subscriber identity module">SIM</abbr> card purchasing page.
  73. Today though, I found an article confirming that <a href="http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2015/06/red-pocket-mobile-suddenly-discontinues.html">Red Pocket Mobile is no longer offering tablet plans</a>.
  74. It&apos;s not just me not knowing where to look.
  75. Furthermore, it seems Red Pocket is no longer offering plans through the T-Mobile towers at all.
  76. What a shame.
  77. Those who had a Red Pocket T-Mobile plan are having to either leave Red Pocket or switch to a Red Pocket AT&amp;T plan, so even if I had jumped on this plan quickly enough, I wouldn&apos;t have been able to keep it.
  78. It looks like not getting that plan was for the best, as people are losing service they paid for.
  79. I&apos;ll keep shopping around, but it looks like I&apos;m staying on the $15 <abbr title="United States Dollars">USD</abbr> Straight Talk T-Mobile plan for the time being.

  82. My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
