The network is a huge part of making the decision to switch carriers or not. Is it possible to include this info in the original post?
Our Tello lines are low usage and have been great for that, especially rolling over the data. I agree that they might not be the best option for unlimited and that it is essential that T-Mobile has a good signal in your area.

And in a previous thread, someone thought you had to actually change plans each time, which is not true. I renew the same plan each time.

For those wanting to do this, the key is that you have to renew your plan BEFORE it auto-renews. If you let it auto-renew, you'll begin the next month with the minutes/GB that the plan provides, essentially zeroing-out anything you've banked. If you manually renew before that date, alll unused minutes/GB will carry over. I STRONGLY recommend you set a calendar reminder that goes off 29 days after each renewal date to prompt you to go in and manually renew. Also, when you renew, tick the box to have them send you a reminder 48 hours before. That gives you TWO chances to not mess up.
Yeah, it's a bit of a game, but it's worth playing. Like the OP, I too am paying $7-something a month (with all taxes included) and have 26.7 GB and 2089 minutes in the bank.
PS - If you trust yourself to do this, you might want to consider signing up for their 15GB plan for the first month only. I did this when I started my plan, and one time last summer when I lost power for a week and used my phone as a hotspot, draining my balance to zero. 15GB costs $22-23 for that month only, so your cost per GB is optimized. Then shift to the 1GB renewal each month.
And though it goes without saying, let me say this.... always add 100 minutes (for a buck) to the plan you're selecting. If you don't include any minutes in your "new" plan any minutes you have banked will be deleted.
NOTE: The deal at the top of this thread is capped at 10MB of hotspot. I don't believe this will work with the scheme we're describing. You want to start with the plan that offers the most hotspot data, which at the time of writing was the 15GB plan. Then shift to 1GB monthly after that to maintain your account.
