Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between a Tello SIM card and an eSIM?
A SIM card is a digital physical chip that you need to insert into your phone. An eSIM is a digital embedded SIM that you activate on your device. Both physical SIM cards and eSIMs connect your phone with a network and give you access to your plan and services. If you have an eSIM compatible device, this will allow you to easily start using your Tello plan without waiting for the SIM card to arrive.
-
How do I order and activate my Tello eSIM?
Before ordering an eSIM please check if your device is eSIM compatible. If the answer is YES, then go ahead and place the order. Login to My Account - My SIM section and scan the QR code with your phone's camera. Make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network as you will need a steady Wi-Fi connection to complete the eSIM activation. Please note that once you start the activation process your Tello service will be temporarily inactive. Don't worry, your service will resume once the eSIM is active on your device.
If you want to activate your Tello eSIM from outside the US, please note the first thing you need to do is set up Wi-Fi Calling in your Tello account and phone. To set up Wi-Fi Calling, follow the steps available in My Account - My Settings section. -
Is my phone eSIM compatible?
You can easily check if your phone is eSIM compatible here. Please note that besides being eSIM compatible, your device should be unlocked in order to work with Tello. Don't worry, as time goes by all new devices are by default eSIM compatible.
-
Can I replace my physical Tello SIM with an eSIM?
Yes, as long as your device is eSIM compatible. Just go to My SIM section in My Tello account, select "Switch to eSIM" and follow the steps listed there.
