Tello is my second line provider, they are quite good. I’m worried that tmo will squeeze them out, or end their agreement or something. Tmo is already doing shenanigans to lycra mobile, afaik, and they ate up metropcs, mint, and ultra.
I have the same plan, but use it for places that insist on getting your phone number, that don’t need my phone number. So they get my second number that gets used a few times a year.
USM repurposed an old subscription email system for their 2FA, and if you had opted-out of the advertising before, well you don’t get 2FA codes then. I spent a few days figuring this out with support. They removed 2FA from my account and explained the situation. A year later, I re-enabled 2FA, because SURELY they’d have fixed it by now, right? This was ~3 and 2 years ago, respectively.
I’m still locked out of the account because they never fixed it. If that’s how they handle their systems, I want no fucking part of it. Can’t pay me enough to put a number I care about under their control.
“where are you going to go, our competitors? manic laughter”
I would suggest an mvno but they are being eaten alive too so
US Mobile has been really good for me
Been rocking Tello for 25 dollars a month for 35 gigabytes of data.

I trust tello. I don’t trust tmo.
I work from home and never call anyone so on Tello I pay $6/mo for 100 minutes + 1GB of data that pretty much functions as a 2FA delivery system.

Damn. I get 150GB for $15 here in Europe.
Tell me you don’t live in Germany without telling me you don’t live in Germany :D
A moment of silence for our German brothers and sisters. 🫡
