If anyone wants an unused Tracfone referral code, you can get it by using my Google form (The code changes every time it's used, so I set the form to close until I reopen it with a new valid code. If it's open, the code is unused).

Tracfone only seems to be giving 2500 points ($25 worth of service) these days, but it seems to be the same amount regardless of who's code you use.

Yes they keep on lowering the points. I remember when I was able to refer others to join tracfone and get them 8k through the app and 8k through the website. Enough points for 1 year costing them the first month of $10. Lol
Times have changed. But if still need a referral can glady offer as well. And help you start your plan.

Has anyone else had this problem: Tello resend the same text multiple times?
Has anyone had it on other MVNOs?

I am trying to sign up on tracfone it is not letting me put in the zipcodes around where I live. I guess the area code is used up, is that what it is?
TIA

It should let you chose a zip code near you to determine if there's service and based on that will give you a Phone number. That's odd. Try a different browser. Or clear cache and cookies.

Is that part of the promotion requirements?
You can also try any other cheap service that does provide a SIM card like HelloMobile. See the wiki for full list. Most you're saving between these is a few dollars.

Anyone try these guys? For someone that's wants a cheap plan with gb this seems pretty decent at a under 10$ a month. For 10gb.

For a basic emergency phone they have at 2.50 a month.

Hey, can anyone guide me here as I'm a bit lost with all the options.
I currently have two phones with the T-Mobile 55+ plan. I pay about 75 total for both lines for T-Mobile essentials. My service in Jackson and Lakewood has been terrible, especially recently, so I'm looking to switch. I use this for work, so I need reliable service and internet, but I don't use a tremendous amount of cellular internet.
I would love to get an iPhone upgrade because the current one has a broken back and glass. It can either come from an offer or I will purchase it outright.
What would be a good option for me?
I appreciate the help.

I'm with US Mobile. They have many cheap plans and I am very happy with them.

I am using a pooled plan but I think for talk text and 1GB data you can get for $6 a month if you pay the full year up front.

I'm living in Israel and I come here a few times a year Tello offers $8 unlimited talk&text, no contract (so I can cancel and reactivate when ever I come)

If hello was not good enough for him. Then Tello won’t solve his problem. They both use T-Mobile network.

Maybe US mobile on Verizon network (the black sim) will work better ?

i don't know, but Tello did work for me, it was actually better than a $25 plan from Verizon.
