And use a referral when creating an account to get $10 in Tello Dollars which can be redeemed for the second month.

In addition to good customer service, Tello has great flexibility if you want to bump up to a higher data plan for just one month, then drop back down. Plus if you manually renew a day early, the unused data will roll to the next month.

Also, data + unlimited texting plans dropped. 2GB for $6 now, 1GB for $5.

However, the slow data after blowing through your allotment is now gone.

Visible has their basic unlimited plan at $25/month for years, the only thing that this Tello plan beats Visible is, you can use all high speed data for hotspot while Visible only allows you to use 5GB for hotspot.

Also, Helium mobile has $20/month unlimited plan.

Lastly, if you still want to get your monthly phone bill lower, you can go to costco and get the $10/month T-Mobile hotspot plan, and a $5/month hello mobile basic plan, use both in a dual sim phone, so you can get unlimited data/calling/text at $15/month.

If you don't need unlimited plan, as of now I think the ultra mobile 3GB monthly plan for $10/month is the best. Please note that it doesn't include the tax and other fees, so it will be about $12 per month actually.

We still have much to learn from European countries, in terms of competition. This past summer I was in Italy, and I bought a local SIM card with 90 GB of data (yup, 90) for $20, all fees included. I was speechless.

Yeah. Plans in the US are so expensive.

When we were in the Philippines, we got a promo with no expiry 48GB data, 600 minutes and 600 texts for PhP 749 (~$13). I can keep the SIM active by just adding $1 load every 365 days.

If you downgrade your plan from "unlimited" you will lose any data balance left .

Probably true, but I'm downgrading from the 15GB plan. Big difference.

Hmm... I only see the cheapest plan from Ultra Mobile with 3GB costs $14/month with $168 upfront annual payment required. Tello seems a better deal to me.

I have Tello for my pre-teen son's phone. The 2gig limits his online use, 100min talk is almost never reached since he mostly uses text to let me know he's ready for pickup from school and activities. For about $8/month (including taxes), its the cheapest phone plan i was able to find. No service interruptions since we got it 5mos ago.

US Mobile has a 1 gig unlimited talk and text that's $72 for a year. So $6 a month but you have to pay the whole year. No taxes or fees either.

I bounced my mom around on different introductory deals for like a year and a half before I discovered that plan. I don't think it existed a couple years ago when I started looking. I signed her and an elderly family friend up for the plan a few months back and it's been great so far. Customer service is very competent.

1gb might be too restrictive for someone under 60 though. Just like 100 minutes would be too restrictive for someone OVER 60 🤣.
