AIRHUB eSIM is offering a US wireless plan that features unlimited talk, text, and data (3GB high-speed) at a rate of $10/mo, powered by T-Mobile.

The next cheapest rate for a 3GB plan in the US is from H2O Wireless at $12.50/mo, when paid yearly.

Please note: you cannot port existing numbers into the service, based on conversations I've had with their support team.

E-sim companies like Airalo and Alosim have been offering 3 gb for $11 for a long time now, and sometimes offer credits at a steeply discounted rate. I got 5G service on AT&T using Alosim on a recent trip using credits that I scooped up at 50+% off, so I ended up paying ~$5 for 3 gb. I've also used Airalo in the past without any issue, although it's been a while. This deal is obviously cheaper but if you're on the fence about the company or service, there are alternatives that work great and aren't much more expensive.

Edit: I should add that those companies don't offer a number or calling method, so I just use my Google Voice number on data to make calls. Might be another thing to consider for some.

I'm unable to find anything in the FAQ that confirms it's a soft-cap. I strongly suspect they copied that text from other plans and forgot to edit it. You are reading a lot into that one line.

Coupled with the eSIM requirement, it looks suspiciously like the T-Mobile business plan resellers from about 5 years ago. Tread with caution though since you don't have your existing number to lose, you can treat this as a throwaway plan.

I didn't see that mentioned as an allowed exclusion in the LNP document above. Considering they are offering a cheap monthly plan, some people may be tempted but I think they should be cautious since skirting rules is not a good sign in general.

I pushed back on an email thread I have going with the Sales team, and they said they had never been asked that and are now looking into it.

in case you're wondering if t-mobile would work for you, you can try it free for 3 months (eSim) while still keeping your current plan.

If we have a text free number then could we in theory force them to port out our number?

TextNow uses their app to make calls over a data connection; this plan makes conventional VoLTE calls.

You'd need to purchase a plan supporting those countries as this plan is only advertised to support the US.
