Porting from Spectrum to GV via T-Mobile no Longer Works. What to use?
(1/1)

Sorry if my title is confusing. In the past, I've ported some landlines from various providers to T-Mobile, and then to Google Voice. I would often the $10 sim card as a $3/month pay as you go account. So, it was only $15 for T-Mobile, and $20 for Google Voice porting.
I've been asked by friends to help their parents port their numbers from Spectrum (VOIP landline) to Google Voice. Today, when I went into the T-mobile store, I was informed that the $3 pay as you go plan is gone. The cheapest plan was around $50/month. That's a no-go.
What are other ways I can port the number from Spectrum to an intermediary and then to Google Voice. I really appreciate your help.

You should still be able to get a SIM with a minimum of $10 of calling/texting from Ultra Mobile, which is the company that T-Mobile offloaded their prepaid business to.
Or, try AT&T Prepaid.

Thanks. So I did some searching, and found the same $3 plan here: https://www.ultramobile.com/paygo/. It looks like it's sold in T-Mobile corporate stores.
Thank you SteveInWA for the heads up.

Giving everyone a heads up that the Ultra mobile cards are significantly more expensive. Under T-Mobile, they used to be $10. Now they're $30.
