Red Pocket's 3GB plan for 1 line costs $9.17 per month.

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

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 3GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 64Kbps. Unfortunately, you do not get any hotspot data with this plan. Video streams at 4K quality.

The Red Pocket Essentials 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 $1.65 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $10.82 per month.

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