Thanks. The SIM for most many phones are listed as "N/A". Any ideas why? I don't know why eBay seller don't include the SIM.

There should be at least one sim in every row. One is enough, since you can use any sim in the row.
If not, please give me an example.

EBay sellers are morons not to include sims in my opinion since they cost $2.99 with free shipping if they know where to get them (which they do not).

Can I put a Sprint-branded tablet on Tello Pay-Go?

Should be fine if it says ok in the Tello checker.

trying to bring two Sprint devices onto Tello. Having problems with both.
- the first device is an HTC One Max, formering on FP. All the usual activation methods failed. I was able to use manual programming to get voice working. But data still doesn't work.
- the second device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab E, former on RingPlus. it of course doesn't do voice (does it? supposedly adding a dialer app should make it work) and data provisioning doesn't work.

ideas? did all the usually settings/update profile, activate, etc. to no avail...

how do you manually do data provisioning?

I have a tello plan with different number.

In addition:

I am looking to convert my landline # to mobile. Will tello able to help?

What is the process ?

I tried to call, but no one is picking up at TELLO CS. Is anything going on there?

Thanks for sharing.

Just an interesting note:

Tello's $9 plan for unlimited t&t plus 500 mb of data costs less after taxes than the $8 plan for unlimited t&t only.

Confirmed. I had to downgrade the expanded $11 UTnT w/data plan to the new UTnT today, for a subscriber located in St. Louis, MO.

Choice:

• UTnT (no data): $8 + $1.47 taxes & fees = $9.47
• UTnT w/500MB: $9 + $0.21 " " " = $9.21

Only a few cents, but I opted for UTnT w/500MB. Will have to monitor to see if pricing holds over time.

Tello has been perfect for the above user, and I have PAYGO lines for myself and a friend. This month, our PAYGO voice cost quietly plummeted from 3¢ to a penny a minute! Best deal around!

[Boz1]

Yes, 1/1/2 certainly are good paygo rates!

Come on 1/1/1!

[cellular-dude]

I hope these new PAYGO rates carry over to T-Mobile!

I've been a happy tello user for more than a year but my old moto e (1st Gen) is showing signs of age and I'd like to upgrade to a new inexpensive moto e (or g).
Any recommendations where can I buy a new/refurbished compatible moto e/g phone that works out of the box with Tello, other than buying it directly from Tello itself? From any other Sprint MVNO perhaps?

Try E Bay. Make sure it has cdma for sprint since Tello uses sprint.

Hi,
Could someone please tell me if it is possible to deactivate automatic renewal with Tello? I do not see any way to do this on the Dashboard.
Thanks,
