I'm fairly certain a person's right to port out their number is protected by the FCC. https://www.fcc.gov/general/wirel...ility-wlnp

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.

Please note: you cannot port existing numbers in or port the assigned number out, based on conversations I've had with their support team.

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?

Is this similar to textnow? Can I roam to Canada, Europe and Latin America? Like t-mobile plan?

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.

In that case, there's also this physical SIM: https://a.co/d/j1KGxBe
