There are two reasons why you might want to choose the 20GB plan instead of unlimited:
  1. All 20GB can be used for a hotspot, instead of the limit of only 10GB on the unlimited plan.
  2. When you go from month three to month four, you will be able to roll any of the 20GB that was not used that month.
You cannot roll data during the first two months because that might invalidate the promotion. If you use a referral when creating an account, you will get $10 in Tello dollars. I'm not sure if anyone has tried, but you might be able to apply the Tello Dollars to the third month. But if not, you can definitely use it for the fourth month.
Where does it show about hotspot limit?

Click on Plans at the top of the page, scroll down past the grid and the popular plans. On the left side, it says:
Hotspot included

The Unlimited plan comes with 10GB hotspot usage, while all other Tello data plans come with the same hotspot allotment as their plan data balance.

If I buy the physical SIM card today how long do I have to activate it and still get this $10 per month pricing for 3 months?

I've had Tello for just over a month, and even though I missed this deal, the service has been good and it worked for me in Europe on a trip.

was thinking the same.
for those that like/use hot spot, the 20gb may be better.
im currently on xfinity UL free plan set to expire soon.
i use abt 16gb each month. lot of it as HOT spot.
on the UL plan with tello, i would be limited to 10gb


also:
interesting comment on the referral .

i need to look into that

any current customers here? pm

How much days do we get to wait before activating it specially with porting. I have 28 days left with current provider and i don't want to transfer now. Whats price for $20gb plan at 4th month. Does anyone have referral code that they can share.

How does it work overseas? Via wifi? Or app?

There are two ways to use it overseas. I think the more common way is to have two SIMs, usually an international eSIM that the Tello SIM piggy backs off of. The other option is to use Tello's international roaming. For that, you need to add $20 to the paygo balance and activate roaming. I have heard complaints that the rates are high, but have no personal experience. You can read more here:

Is there any way to claim this now and not activate it in 2 weeks? My current Mint mobile plan isnt ending for another 2 weeks. Their service gets deprioritized way too heavily and often in the area I recently moved to

Yes!!~Just purchase Tello sim with new number from Tello BUT DON'T ACTIVATE the sim. And then when you're ready, port your current number over to Tello when your current provider plan is about to renew. .nod

Yes, as tennaj said, order the physical SIM to delay activation, even if you eventually want eSIM -- you can convert later.

Mint Mobile and Tello both operate on T-Mobile though, so I would be concerned that the service would be the same. But at least you are not locked in, so you can port out after the first month if it's not an improvement.
