Quote from MattM8844 :
This plan only has 10GB of data(full speed) for the month then it may be throttled. I don't have experience personally with us mobile but with other providers, passing that threshold the data gets frustrating slow at times in my experience.
Yes, the unlimited flex plan is 10gb high speed then throttled. On the plus side, US mobile's throttle speed is 1mbps, one of the fastest out there. So you can still stream 480p, music and browse the web, unlike the usual 128k-256k throttles.

Seems like three of the best big data plans currently are

Tello 35GB Premium, 5GB Hotspot, $25/mo
Boost 35GB Premium, 12GB Hotspot, $25/mo when purchased yearly
US Mobile Unlimited Premium, Unlimited Hotspot $32.50/mo when purchased yearly
I wished Tello had more Data and Hotspot. Even if they had to make it for $30!!!

No fee to port in, but Tello's process is different than most. When you activate, they give you a new number. Then after activation, you can port in your existing number.

That's funny. lol.

Have you compared their pricing and quality of service with other carriers? What more do you expect?
I think it's hilarious that this person complained about paying an extra month over four years. $25/48 months is less than 50¢ per month extra compared to more expensive plans.

This is true on the 15GB plan, but Tello caps the hotspot on the unlimited plan to only 5GB. If someone needs primarily hotspot data, it would make more sense to do the 15GB plan and just renew early when it runs out. And if you don't need minutes, the 15GB plan is $20.

Quote from ThriftyStrategist :
!!!Warning!!!: They operate on a 30-day billing cycle (28 days in February), effectively shortening the billing period and costing you an extra month every four years. Over time, they steal 5–7 extra days from you per year. I'd recommend considering an alternative.
Would be 5-6, back to third grade to teach you how many days there are in leap years

I need some help from those with experience with these phone plans. My mom is currently on Metro but she's paying $55 per month. She only needs data because the cell signal in her apartment is bad so wifi calling helps plus she text family and friends overseas.

I was looking at Mint for the year. I have no experience with these plans but $55 per month is insane for a senior on a fixed income.

Thanks in advance
