ATT does not have very strong service in my area (and although all the main companies are basically the same in this, don’t love ATT track record with privacy from the 9/11 patriot act era).
Mint mobile seemed interesting to me, and like awesim I think I can join with an alias account. Is there anything I need to do with awesim before switching or can I just let that plan run out and then order a mint mobile sim and plan?
I gather that you’re not planning to keep the AweSIM phone number by porting it to the new carrier prior to closing the account. If you were going to keep the number, you would need to start the port with the gaining carrier and then wait for it to complete before closing the AweSIM account. You would possibly have to set a security PIN with Purism in case Mint Mobile asks for one… and they should, for security reasons.
Is Awesim paid from a stored balance, i.e. paygo mode? (I’m asking because I don’t know how billing works at Purism.) If that’s the case, unless you have an automatic monthly bill payment set up for your AweSIM account, I guess you could let your balance run out; I think it would be better to just log in and cancel the account, though. If you do have automatic payment set, you wouldn’t want it to keep charging you by failing the close the account.
