TLDR; As long as you understand the difficulties and don't mind the initial hoops, on the whole, I would recommend it.
Pros:
- About the cheapest mobile plan you can get.
- You can choose between Verizon and T-Mobile's network.
- Speeds seem as advertised (I came from an actual Verizon account), no issues with 5G.
- Once you are activated and going, it just works. I have had no issues with the service that has required me to contact Infimobile once I was up and going.
- You can apply most promotions and sales to your current mobile plan and extensions (prepaid SIMs have mixed results for extensions, FYI).
Cons:
- They do nickel and dime you for anything past the initial activation. Want a new eSIM generated? Want to add Hotspot? Want pretty much any line/account change? Want to switch from T-Mobile to Verizon networks or vice versa? Got a new phone and need to activate the new phone? Each will incur a small fee.
- Customer service is the biggest issue in my mind. It's difficult to reach anyone and if there are issues it becomes a waiting game as they get back to you in 24-72 hours and then you play the elongated back and forth via email. Live chat is ok, wait times and response times vary and often once an issue becomes too difficult they kick you into the, previously mentioned, email loop.
- In very crowded/event environments speed does slowdown. It's still usable but you can definitely sense network priority is not with Infimobile (understandable).
- Account management in the website is clunky, the website doesn't send me SMS messages for my 2 factor authentication so I often have to contact Live Chat to get changes made and go through their authorization.
- No smartwatch support.

Go to the activation portal on infimobile's website activate sim selecting keep number and put in your port info and you are done.
Have you done just this? Any guidance?

Regarding Amazon purchases being for new numbers only, I cannot verify this or not. The last Infimobile purchase I made through Amazon was a bit more than a year ago so I have no recent experience. But keep an eye on the Infimobile website directly because it has deals that Amazon does not, and vice versa. So while the 15GB/month plan is not on sale at the Infimobile website right now, it probably will be in the future. And at that point, you could definitely migrate over a number and not be forced to get a new number (if that is actually the case via an Amazon purchase).

But if you are activating a new SIM, that would mean you are getting a new number. Or, that you are starting fresh with Infimobile, but need to port in your number from your old carrier. In fact, if you look at the activate link above, you'll see the two options are "port in" and "new number".
This is now starting to make more sense--perhaps if you buy a whole new SIM at Amazon, that forcefully means a new number (or port in of old number). Because you are buying the actual SIM, not just a plan...

They have a super-cheap "Deal Buster" plan that is $30 total for 12 months, so just $2.50/month. It gives 500MB/month of data and 100 mins/sms message, which is absolutely paltry, but yeah, you can get a good idea of whether it will work well for you. And it's good for a backup phone or parking a number.
