designed to save you money
Dive into the values & culture that keep us going
Freedom
We’re a bit of an oddball among wireless carriers - we believe in true freedom. No contracts, no commitments, no strings attached. Change your plan anytime, upgrade or downgrade for free, and stay in control. At Tello, freedom isn’t just a feature - it’s who we are.
Individuality
Unlike the big carriers that focus only on unlimited plans, Tello believes in individuality. Our plans, ranging from $5 to $25/mo can be customized to your heart's content or to each family member’s desire. Need a talk & text only plan for your kid? We’ve got you covered. Just want unlimited data? You can do that, too.
Savings
There’s nothing more satisfying than trimming a recurrent expense! We’re obsessed with giving people more bang for their buck. Our super affordable pay-as-you-go phone plans make it easy for you to pay only what you use and nothing else. Save more, spend smarter & let go of phone bill anxiety for good!
Everything you need to know about Tello Mobile
Is Tello a reliable service?
The big History behind small phone bills
Our parent company, KeepCalling, has extensive experience in the telecom industry and has been providing calling services to millions of customers since 2002. So, we’re not a rookie after all! In 2016, in a partnership with a nationwide network, we had the chance to expand from international calls to providing full wireless service under the new brand, Tello.com. This pocket-friendly solution grew in a few years to hundreds of thousands of happy customers. Tello-tastic, right?
Three international offices. One Mission.
It all started with one man’s honest need to keep in touch with his loved ones while working abroad. Calling internationally was a pain back in 2002, but our CEO knew there had to be a better way. $100 and one brilliant idea later, a new phone service was born, centered around the idea of providing premium service at affordable prices. Staying connected should be a basic human right, not a privilege.
Total Transparency
The T from Tello stands for transparency. We believe in giving people the right value for their hard worked money. We took off the premium price tag for the premium wireless service, but we also took this pledge a step further. At Tello, there are no contracts, no misleading promos, no fine print. Our customers are in charge of everything and no question remains unanswered (by a real person), whether it’s a call to our awesome customer support team, or we get it on Amazon, Facebook, Blog, etc. We’re here to help!
