I have a Dasaita android car stereo (not Android Auto) that can use a SIM card. Is there any way of getting this deal for this purpose? I assume not based off of the ipad answer being no.
Nope. Another solution is get a cheap rooted phone and turn on hotspot whenever you start the car. I use the app macrodroid to do this automatically.

In the wiki, it says"update: reports are, that as of ~7/15/18. the 10 gb hot spot feature has been removed for new sign ups and in no way can it be added."

How about for the lines that were signed up prior to 7/15/18? Is the 10 gb hot spot feature still there?
People who created an account before that can keep their hotspot -- only new accounts after mid-July don't have it included anymore

I wish they would've given 500mb-1gb for casual use instead of getting rid of it completely but still not bad for ~$5/mo service

Thank you. I'm in the middle of 'swapping device' in my Sprint account online. My line was created prior to that, so I should not lose the 10gb hot spot... is that correct? Thanks again.

Ask Tello to fully deactivate it.

Then when that is complete you can get the flag flipped by LiterallyUnlimited on reddit (or by Sprint if you like but it will take longer).

By the way it is Tello that set it to PLBL and they should be willing to set it back but they are lazy and refuse. Ting would do it if it was Ting. So would Google Fi and even FP.
Just spoke with Tello support. They are acting like idiots and blaming Sprint. Should I take this to small claims? Anyone done that?

I may have missed the answer to this somewhere in the thread. Does anyone know if I can lock in the deal online with any IMEI as long as it's approved through the Sprint site then pull a switcheroo to a different IMEI when it's time to activate once my Sprint sims arrive?

Just completing this process and they want me to go to a Sprint store with two form of ID to verify account in order to move forward with the port. They told me to do NOT have them activate the phone in the store... They just need to "unlock" the account via proper verification. Not sure if this was because I started the account but didn't have a SIM car therefore they had to ship me a SIM to call back when it's delivered. Anyone experience similar ?

Use keywords "Official languages india" to learn it....
more accurately also quote from India Official Languages Act, 1963 (19 of 1963),((As Amended, 1987, 2007, 2011)

(1) Get Tello to remove it from your Tello account so it is not blocking activation elsewhere. Have they done that part? Sign on to your old Tello account and see if the phone still shows (it should not). Also check the IMEI in the Ting checker and see what it says. If that is all ok, you are ready for step 2.
(2) Get LiterallyUnlimited on reddit to flip the flag. (He is actually with Ting). Search for posts by him in this thread. Yes, Tello should do this too but I already posted to you earlier that they will not so that is nothing new.

That's all you have to do. No more than a few minutes work plus waiting a day or two for LiterallyUnlimited to respond.

I have done it successfully.
