Tello. The service and price have been basically the same as pre-acquisition Mint. They also use T-Mobile’s network but are not owned by them (…for now, at least.)
Tello (and all* [except Google Fi’s flex plan, and their most expensive plan] tmo MVNOs) run at qci7, or one peg below tmo direct customers* (except tmo essentials and those who go over their ‘high speed data cap’, which are at qci9 or ‘the back of the bus’). This can mean virtually nothing in some areas, or it can mean that the tower you are on is so over subscribed/at capacity so hard that data becomes non-existant.
I have tello as a second line, where data isn’t important. But my home area falls under the ‘data is non-existant’ category during the day, which is why they are my second line.
Jumped to where if you don’t mind my asking?

Just be cautious.
