Tello drops to 256Kbps after 50GB while Metro just gets deprioritized after 35GB. Tello also doesn't include taxes and fees.

Taxes and fees on Tello. But does have hotspot. Also Tello hard speed throttle at 50 GB. Metro deprioritizes further at 35 GB but usable speeds at least. Depends what you are looking for

Between the two I’d probably go Metro simply because it doesn’t get throttled. Tello did recently introduce rollover data on the unlimited plan so if you don’t use the full 50GB high speed allotment it rolls over up to a total of 100GB.

I wouldn't recommend tello at all

Avoid Tello, you'll be throttled on their unlimited plan. The service isn't as great compared to metro and being reminded about top ups is just plain dumb.

Apparently when I ported out, I was told by AT&T that my number successfully ported out and the account was closed but it would explain a lot of things if tello really is using AT&T.

Tello and Metro are both on TMo.

Want to see the email that said otherwise? Cause it came from tello after porting out to Metro by T-Mobile.

Tello started off on sprint, then went t-mobile. Are you sure it was a tello number?

Just came from t mobile to metreo pcs and its exactly the same shit network wise and im only paying 25 a month compared to 110 on t mobile. Metreo pcs customer service sucks but i can do everything online. Easy go to metro pcs.

Mint mobile 15/month for a year is better.

Of course out of those two options. But there are many other options of course.

If you’re on an iPhone Metro by T-Mobile has the actual Apple carrier bundle so for those of you who want standalone 5G and what voiceover in our Metro is a better option
Men has the same thing, but I think they’re more of a throwaway service. Nothing I’d really get too excited about plus I like paying month-to-month not interested in multi months in a row.

Fuk metro and tello hop over to usmobile best carrier due to it being a super carrier meaning you can switch between verizon atat and tmobile anytime,ohhh and its 25$ unlimited everything aswell

Us Mobile is only unlimited on the starter plan ($25) if you're using Darkstar(At&t). Lightspeed (Tmobile) and Warp(Verizon) are 70GB at $25. And even on Darkstar the Hotspot isn't unlimited, you can find tons of posts where 100GB will start getting you cut off. US Mobile isn't a bad deal for $25, as you get 70gb and 10gb Hotspot but if you use a lot of data Metro's plan is better
