Reposting for visibility, as searching for 'SIM' on SL doesn't show this unless you go many pages deep.
It's an MVNO that can work on the T-Mobile or Sprint network
$2.50 a month or $30 year for a backup, ghost, emergency, or kids phone is the absolute cheapest I can find in the US

A few things to know.
1. the plan only lasts 360 days, not a year.
2. renew price $30 does not include tax and fee. the tax and fee is about $1 or $2 for me.
3. If you forget to renew it when time is up, you have about 60 days to keep your number. There is an reactive fee of $1 if you forgot to renew the plan. This $1 is not a tax, not a yearly fee. It costs you $1 if you totally forget to renew the plan after 30 days.
You may want to link a credit card on RedPocket account so you get auto renew.
When I know I will have friends / family fly into US, I mail this SIM card out. I tell them to put this SIM card into their unlocked phone and call me when their flight lands at an airport. It saves $$ and make everything simple.

50-100 mb a month. I turn on data saver on my phone and only let life360 use unlimited data
Also, avoid autopay close to contract expiration when you can.

Extra question.
This plan can be used as some kind of verification.
Can I find out the real identity of the "user"?
For example, credit card or government id.me or something like that, when you need to use the phone to verify the ID against the bill?
thanks

Only complaint is I haven't been able to get RCS working. Dunno if it's the carrier, the esim, or the OS (Graphene). Don't care enough to change anything right now.
