$15 for 1gb is shared by all lines -- each line will have taxes/fees (mine are just under $3/line)
GV is similar to landline and not all numbers can be ported to every carrier -- see if your number is compatible for VZ network port: https://www.verizon.com/switch-to-verizon/

True story, for this promo I used the IMEI of an iPhone 12 that I got from visible and had already sold(!), but still had the IMEI written down somewhere, and used that to pass the compatibility check and order the SIM card. Once I got the shipping confirmation the next day, I activated my service online (select "I already rec'd my SIM card'), and ported in my expiring Tello number...all before receiving the physical SIM card, which looks like it will be delivered tomorrow.
I've done this BYOD promo several times over the years and never had a problem receiving the git card. They don't check if you are actually using the SIM or phone it was signed up with, just that you have the active line and are paying the bills. Of course, YMMV!

Use speedtest.net or something like that to get a full impression of the speeds you can get for anything other than video.
For video the xfinity unlimited plans are sd video streaming so you'll see the same 1.7Mbps. By the gig will be faster but obviously limited data.

My Tello account expires in about 5 days, so I was cutting it close in order to port the number before the plan ends. But I got my SIM card shipping confirmation about an hour ago, so I logged into my XM account online and started the activation process for the new line. For Tello, you will need your account number (you can get that in your tello account) and PIN which is 0000. During the activation process I had selected "Other/Not sure" as the carrier, entered the number I was porting and the required account number and PIN 0000. Only took about 5 minutes and I got the confirmation screen that my number was transferred. I logged into my tello account and the line was removed from my account there.
Good find OP. I saw this tonight too but you beat me to it posting it here. Repped.

They told me if I signed up and changed my mind before activating the phone it wouldn't start. I kept the phone for weeks before activating... It had started my cycle from weeks before I activated.
They told me that I could go to the store and get a sim card even though a shipped one was on the way. I walked in rain and then got told oops no you cant do it, it's too early.
Before I activated, I told them they changed $25 promotion to $50 and asked if I activate can i get the $50. They said yes, I activated, they sent me the $25 and then said oh well nothing they could do about someone lying to me that I'd get the $50.
So I moved on to mint for 6 months at $20 total combined ($45 plus tax minus almost $30 for sellig the free guy steelbook).
And of course they changed $25 to $50 and now $200. lol. So my timing was way off, getting $175 less than now.
