I’ve been on and off tello for like 10 years now, currently they hold my second line, and they are good… assuming you don’t need cs beyond ‘turn it off and back on’, and the towers you frequent aren’t overloaded. If I try and use my data on the tello sim at any time except in the dead of night (1a-4a), everything is timing out. This local tower is way oversubscribed. Also, their unlimited isn’t true unlimited, as are all mvnos. After… 50gb (surprising, they doubled it in the last few months apparently) it’s like 64kb/s. Which is quite a lot of data, and technically it’s not a hard cap so it’s not outright lying, but it’s not really unlimited. I’ve always hated this ‘well technically’ bullshit, so I call it out every time I see it, for the people who don’t know.

On the backup line you can subscribe to the cheapest data-only plan for like $5 a month and then just add $20 worth of pay-as-you-go credit, which never expires and will be used for calls, at 1 cent per minute. It will save you $5 a month on the phone plan, making it even cheaper.
