It doesn't, unless you want to start a new line.

Have you gone all the way to checkout? As a new customer, it should offer it to you for free at the end (take the charge off as a credit). Existing customers, such as myself, can't get the offer, but can still get a new free SIM by putting in the IMEI of a new compatible TMobile device. You'll get the free SIM (w/o the half price offer) in about a week.

New customers can also get a referral code from an existing customer to get another $10 in free credit -- since this is basically a 50% discount for three months I'd suggest just using that and then using the $10 for more service (you must have enough Tello credit to pay the entire bill). It may work that the Tello credit even pays for the discounted second or third month (as long as the plan is under $10)

I'm stuck at the IMEI check. Let me see if I can pass through it. Send me your ref and I'll use it

To the checkout page and still wants to charge me $10 for the SIM😤

I do not see option to port a number. It only shows new number allocated by Tello. Also, it still wants to charge me $10 for SIM card.

Does one have to call them for cancelling? Or is it that you just stop paying?

Just Stop Paying. A few days later you line will be cancelled automatically.
