How much tax are you seeing? I see ~$1.5 added
Also, thinking between this and stack social deal for 6 months. That will come out cheaper worth more data but this one gives the flexibility in case the service coverage isn't good

Just checked. Now the sim card cost is free instead of $9.99.
Thanks for reporting that they had fixed the issue.

Is anyone else has old accounts with Tello Dollars, but no active line, you can get the 50% off promotion, the free SIM, and pay with Tello Dollars as long as you pick a plan fully covered by your balance.

This is no longer accurate. Existing accounts can remain on Sprint for a few more months, but any new customer or new line will go directly onto T-Mobile. This promotion includes the free GSM SIM, so no need to go to the Apple Store.

Can you order multiple line on same account?
While you CAN order multiple lines on the same account, it is more advantageous to do separate accounts with your first account referring the second. You can then use the Tello Dollars to pay for future service. After you use up the Tello Dollars on one of the accounts, you can contact customer service to combine the accounts so you only have one log in, though there is really no advantage to the "family plan" other than having both lines together.

The tello site says the deal valid "until February 28th".

Is it purchase or activation deadline?

Quote from TalA9559 :
I had Tello for the past 6 months.
With the Sprint SIM signal was great but my new Galaxy S21 doesn't seem to support CDMA and Tello sent me a T-Mobile GSM SIM. Since then signal has become extremely spotty (even though the phone indicates full signal).
My wife has T-Mobile service and she has no signal problems.

I'm not sure if it's the phone or Tello. Did anyone else experience it?
It could be the bands that your phone supports. Your wife's phone may support more T-Mobile bands.
