minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·18 days agoI’m in the US and can get a simple plan for $6/month for no data, 300 minutes, and unlimited texting. Unlimited minutes is $8. There’s no contract, so this isn’t some kind of family deal, this is just the regular price at Tello for a single line. I personally have 1GB and 300 min for $7/month.
