Deal Details
tello.com has 50% off selected plans. Offer valid until March 24th, for new customers & new lines, for the 1st month of service, selected phone plans.

No contract, no fees
Start from $5
Free unlimited text
Free tethering/hotspot
Free Wi-Fi Calling
Free international calls to 60+ Countries

There are other cheaper plans out there, but on Tello, if you play your cards right with their referral credits (Tello Dollars), which can be used to pay for services and devices, you can have free services and phones for life. There is no limit on how much referral credits (Tello Dollars) you can earn, and they never expire. I have accumulated a lot of referral credits (Tello Dollars) and have not paid for my service and phone for many years now

In addition, the plan auto renews every 30 days, and if you manually renew it on the 30th day or earlier, any remaining balances will roll over as long as the plan contains all the services that you previously had. I use this trick especially to roll over the data since data is expensive. Also no taxes when pay with referral credits (Tello Dollars) for both service and device.

Also look out for their double referral credits (Tello Dollars) promo, where you can accumulate much more referral credits (Tello Dollars).

Does it cost anything to port in and out numbers with tello? Can you port numbers in and out of tmobile?

Free porting, and yes to T-Mobile numbers. eSIM also available.

Also, the plan auto renews every 30 days, and if you manually renew it on the 30th day or earlier, any remaining balances will roll over as long as the plan contains all the services that you previously had.

Don't use them now but have always been a fan of Tello. When Ringplus folded they had free porting plus free $10 pay-go credit. Excellent customer service in my experience.

I'll continue using Tracfone until Tello offers an unlimited plan for a reasonable rate.

Looks like they remove the discount for the $5 plan. It was the no data, 100 min plan. Probably they notice too many people use it for porting to other carrier. You can try the code 15OFFAFF or 15OFFFOF for 15% off on the $5 plan.

That's impressive! I just hit 7.44GB yesterday when I rolled my daughters $5 data only plan, and I thought that was pretty good. I'm starting to get jittery though since I'm down to only $20 of Tello Dollars. I might need to move her elsewhere in 4 months.

Their 'unlimited' plan caps at 25GB, which is ok for me, however the terms on hotspot/tethering is capped at a measly 5GB, which is a deal breaker for me.
It makes no sense that they can't allow all of that 25GB/month for hotspot use.

My line is set to auto-renew. So I keep loosing the unused data each month?
