10 GB for $10/mo. First 3 Months

Great Customer Support Reps, and friendly pricing!

I'll be honest: Tello didn't work out for me — but that's on the technical requirements, not on the company. I'm based outside the US and bought a plan hoping to activate the eSIM remotely. Turns out activation requires connecting to a US tower at least once, so if you're abroad with no US trip planned, this won't work for you. Keep that in mind before purchasing. That said, the way Tello handled it deserves five stars on its own. Their support replied fast, didn't give me any runaround, and processed my refund quickly and without any drama — something many companies could learn from. It's rare to see a provider treat a customer this fairly when the sale doesn't work out. If you live in the US (or can activate there first), I'd genuinely recommend Tello — affordable plans and a support team that actually cares. If I'm ever in the States, they'll be my first choice.

Tello works seamlessly travelling abroad

I have been using Tello for my second line and recently transferred my wife’s carrier from visible to Tello. We are retired and mostly use home WiFi, so usage is about 5-7 gig. Visible unlimited was not needed and her new Tello line included unlimited calls, texts with 10gig of data. But the real value is that Tello provides international roaming. It’s not free and one has to establish a payasyougo account, say $20. We were recently in Italy and normally purchase a regional eSIM for our primary data source. Here’s the gotcha, European eSIM cards do not work in Switzerland since they are not in the European Union. That’s where Tello comes in, when I needed data Tello worked seamlessly. Therefore enabled me to use google maps, WhatsApp and more. Granted Tello is a NVMO and not perfect. I currently combine the US mobile light plan, $96 per year, 2 gig, unlimited calls and texts, with Tello data only 5gig, 10month. Yes it’s a bit crazy pants but works

Account Issues Resolved

I called because I was having issues with my account due to my own error. I was so stressed and was honestly a mess. The agent that answered my call, Nicole, made me feel calm and ensured me she would do her best to sort out my account problems. She spoke clearly, allowed me time to find my additional info needed, and didn’t make me feel silly for making mistakes. She was fantastic and was able to help me completely solve my issue from the other side of the world and in less than 10 minutes on the call. Thank you Nicole!!
