Tello is my second line provider, they are quite good. I'm worried that tmo will squeeze them out, or end their agreement or something. Tmo is already doing shenanigans to lycra mobile, afaik, and they ate up metropcs, mint, and ultra.
I trust tello. I don't trust tmo.
That would be a nightmare scenario where T-Mobile would start to squeeze MVNO's for around the same price of someone paying for t-mobile after buying them. Honestly I don't know if I would even have a mobile connection at that point anymore as I am quite poor! There are really no good alternatives out there for cheap service especially for my area and my terrible terrible smartphones that aren't supported on any other networks. Especially! After AT&T decided to force manufacturers to pay for "HD Voice" ~~which was just rebranded volte using the same bands that they had before~~ most of them deciding not to for the cheaper brands of android smartphones out there.
