I switched from cricket to tello a little less than a month ago (had cricket for 10yrs @$35/mo ) cricket had some new comparable plans that included taxes and fees, but wouldn't let me keep my number... So I'm still going to save like $7-$8/mo, have unlimited everything, and keep my number. Liking it so far.
Since I retired, my data usage has dropped quite a lot; I haven't used a whole GB of data (in any single month) in over a year. On Tello, it's a dollar more for me to get 2GB over 1GB, a tiny price to pay for a 100+ percent buffer. So I'll be leaving Ting at the earliest opportunity (not mid billing cycle, as I have learned).
I looked at tello, highly customizable, however my average usage calculation always landed me in the $25 unlimited category. I went with US Mobile instead because their $25 dollar plan covers my usage and to spare and the $25 includes taxes. As a note I was also looking for a multi line plan because I needed 3 lines.
Mint was king until carriers like Tello and US Mobile dropped their prices to compete. I'm on Tello now, but I might drop them for US Mobile soon. It's double the data for $1 more than Tello for the $15 a month plan if you pay it all up front.
@@animalhouse8849 I switched to Tello a couple days ago and have better signal with them thru my home than I did with Mint...which is odd because they use the same towers supposedly. But I pay the 7$ plan which works perfect for me and what I need especially since I'm always on Wi-Fi everywhere I go basically. So far Tello has been great and have no complaints.
