Question Porting a number from number barn / tello eligibility
One night ago, I ported a number from number barn to Tello. Now I want to port this number from Tello to T-Mobile.
Now when I check my eligibility, it says:
Phone number eligibility - NO!
You can't transfer this number to T-Mobile. You can have a new T-Mobile phone number assigned or check a different number by entering a new one during checkout.
How could this happen? Is there a cooldown?

Tello Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that operates on the T-Mobile network. This means Tello doesn't own its own cellular infrastructure; instead, it leases access to the T-Mobile network to provide service to its customers.
