Do you already have a phone ? Depends on the network you are looking for.
Cheapest I found is on the Tmobile network unlimited talk and text no data meaning no picture mail as well is liberty wireless. $60 a year plus around $5 tax https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Mo-Liberty-Wireless-Prepaid-Wireless-Phone-Plan-/133314392847?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Us mobile is on Verizon network and is not really unlimited they have a cap I am not sure the exact number, And no data at all meaning no picture mail

I recently found this . They told me it’s really unlimited no caps, plus 1 Gb data. I have not tried it yet https://mobi.com/plan

Thanks! I was hoping to give her my current phone, which is a Sprint phone. That's why I was thinking Tello as they're on the Sprint network.

One second- the Tello plan with no data- does that mean no picture text either?! I doubt my daughter will accept that 

[Dovdovmoneytree]

Does anyone know if i.e a Tello plan with no data can send or receive picture texts (MMS)?

[bznt]

Of course picture mail uses data. So no data means no picture mail

It's kind of double the T-Mobile plan.
 Wonder if they would honor a lower price if I add on 100 lb or so a month.

Hi,
I dont know if this is in the right forum/topic.

I currently have two lines in a Sprint family plan and I would like to move them to a T-mobile plan.
I spoke to a rep on the Sprint side who said that in order to do so, I would first need to create an account under my name in Sprint, transfer the two lines in question to the new account through an ownership change, meaning transfer the names of those two lines from the current account holder to my name, and then from there I should be able to transfer them to T-mobile.
I am due for an upgrade on both lines at the moment.

My question is: Should I upgrade my phones and then transfer them from Sprint acc#1 to Sprint acc#2 and then to Tmobile? Or should I just try for the upgrade after I move over to Tmobile?
Im worried that I wont be eligible for an upgrade once I move to Tmobile.

[bznt]

I believe you get a better deal when you activate a new line vs upgrade. I would recommend port out the numbers to a different carrier and then back in to Tmobile.

If you are going to upgrade and then change ownership , you will lose any promotions you may have the payment plan will cancel and it will be due on the old account. Talking from experience

[Vrems]

how long do my numbers need to be ported out for to be considered "new" when they are ported back to Tmobile?

[Vrems]

Bump

Bump

I would “assume “ a few hours until the port is successfully complete

Since you are currently with sprint. Than this should work for you to port out from sprint

3 month deal: 4GB for $10/mo
Nationwide 4G LTE coverage
No payment in advance
No contract, no fees
Valid for new customers & new lines, until Dec 22, 2020. Pay $10/mo for the first 3 months, and $19/mo going forward.

Use my link and you get $10 to use for next months plan (if you plan to stay or use it for another phone)

I have transferred a few lines to this service, so far it’s the same as Verizon.
The screen displays Verizon as the carrier.
What is very interesting, usually when you transfer a line to a different carrier. You lose your voicemail and you have to set it up again. With this carrier everything stays as it was. All the saved voicemails were kept and I did not have to setup the voicemail settings again.

I don't believe most mobile hotspot devices support usb tethering but anyway it will be considered hotspot.

If you have a smartphone look into FoxFi
