I'll hold off until December before making any Tello orders. The workaround mentioned earlier sounds good. I might keep one of my other 13 phones active using that method.

Don't think this will work.
Possible example: Have $5 plan. Cancel $5 plan = lose plan + lose $5 + lose number.
Because afaik monies can't be transferred from plans to paygo & maybe vice versa.
