Hi all. I’m about to pull the trigger on moving my work number, on a postpaid T-Mobile account (Experience Beyond) with a Tello prepaid number.

I know T-Mobile postpaid is QCI 6 and all T-Mobile MVNOs are QCI 7. I know it means that data on MVNOs like Tello is not as high priority as T-Mobile postpaid data, but does anyone have any experience in real world comparisons?

For context I‘m usually in a suburban area who moderate density for a suburb, and I am often in an urban area with high density.

Thanks.

Hi. I have a phone that can use two active eSIMs. One of those eSIMs is slotted with a plan that has data.

I’d like to use a Tello Build Your Own plan for just a talk and text plan. Would I run into any problems with MMS messages if I have no data with the Tello plan?

Thanks.

Hello — does anyone know if Chase Rewards for Visible is valid for annual plans? The fine print says the transaction must be for a “subscription purchase”.

Not sure if they just mean month to month in this case

Thanks.

Can anyone in the know explain how the discounts for a new iPhone work when purchased through Apple?

I’ve heard the discounts are applied at the time of purchase, rather than being a discount on the bill over the 24 months the phone is paid off. If this is true, can I pay off the phone early without forfeiting my discount and having to pay the full fare of the phone?

Thanks in advance.

If I were to purchase an iPhone from Apple, or use Apple‘s financing options and trade-in value instead of T-mobile‘s installment plan/promotions, would that get around the activation fee T-Mobile just imposed on device purchases from Apple?

I realize T-Mo‘s promos would more than offset the activation of an iPhone, but I’m considering leaving T-Mobile, so the savings from using their promotions/equipment installment plans would be complicated by paying off the full price anyway.

Thanks in advance.
