On the checkout page, they should enter coupon code RINGPLUS50.The porting process is guaranteed to be easy and friendly, especially since Tello runs on Sprint network, just like RingPlus, so most RingPlus phones will work with Tello and the porting in process will be fast and seamless.
In order to port in their number to Tello, customers need to follow a few easy steps:
1. Get their account number and password from their RingPlus Account Dashboard (when clicking Port-out/Port-in under the Account Features section, customers will find their Port-out Information in the top right-hand corner of the screen);
2. Create an account on Tello.com;
3. Go to Bring Your Own Phone page and enter their ESN/IMEI/MEID;
4. Former RingPlus customers don’t need a new SIM, because the one they had with RingPlus will work with Tello, too;
5. Enter their phone number (if customers don’t want to keep their old RingPlus phone number, they can get a new one from Tello).The port in process usually takes 2 working days, but due to the high volume of requests, it may take longer than usual these days. However, Tello’s customer service team is available 24/7 for any questions or issues.
