I've put a couple budget-minded relatives on https://tello.com/ and it seems to be working reasonably well for them. they're paying $7.50 or $8.50/month after taxes; for the plan you spec, tello lists a 1GB/unlimited voice & text plan for $9 before taxes: https://tello.com/buy/custom_plans?plan=1gb-unlimited play around there to see costs of different data/voice limits. you buy a sim card off amazon for $3 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H5SM9M9) and then attach it to your account. you can get unused voice & data to roll over into later months; there are quirks in their rollover, plan change, and pay with credit dollars (below) processes which I can describe off-list if you want (probably not of general interest, but just ask). if you're not messing with rollover/plan change/credit dollars, tello is completely hassle-free. shameless plug: tello has a referral program, you can get $10 credit if you sign up with a referral link, and my relatives get $10 credit too if you use their link. if you want to use one of their links, flip a coin for fairness to my relatives ;) HEADS P3XFPJH0 https://tello.com/account/register?_referral=P3XFPJH0 TAILS P3QS7SRV https://tello.com/account/register?_referral=P3QS7SRV the company seems good, afaik the service is working for them, and the price is great. --grg _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
