Any prepaid minutes out there that don't expire?
I've been paying $150 a month for ATT on a phone number I want to preserve but don't use anymore.
Discussion
I switched from AT&T to Google Fi a few years ago and spend about $35/mo for connection and data. Works well in my area with basically no dead zones and hiccups. The $1/min for international (US to CA) was the last straw for me and AT&T (or $15/mo extra for the int'l plus plan), and it's included for me with Google Fi.
I lost money working with a client who was just over the border for a month before I switched to internet call with Skype or Google Meet, then I switched to Google Fi and never looked back.
American phone contracts are so expensive 😱 it’s criminal
$150?? You can get Starlink for less! Not quite a mobile internet connection though
It's monthly but $15 sure beats $150...
Annual redpocket plan $35 on ebay. ANNUAL. And, yes it works.
Is it full international coverage? eSIM?
I have a physical SIM, but I'm sure they have an eSIM option.
And yes, to my knowledge, full international coverage.

I use the flexible plan
Looking at tello.com for $60/year to maintain this number vs ATT @ $1,800/year.

My number has been at google voice for years and it is a native google voice number. But you can port your number to google voice, with one caveat: you need to have another USA number to "verify" that the GV number is active, but it might be possible to verify via landline (magic jack etc...). There's also parkmyphone, number barn, number garage, etc.... You can also just port it to magic jack which is 43$ a year.
