Go, go, go with Pay As You Go!

Great experience with Tello

Great experience with Tello. Customer service is great, but you only need them on rare occasion because the phone service works like a charm. Setting up service is quick and easy, and switching phones takes only a few seconds, DIY, no assistance needed. If you have good Sprint coverage in your area, you should do well. The only minor glitch I've found is that it sometimes takes a bit for the call to connect as compared to Ting (my previous service provider)---but that's a tiny price to pay for a bill that is about 1/3 what it used to be!!

Did a chat with them

Did a chat with them; very helpful. Would like to see them offer the option to change plans before the month is up, to avoid overage charges.

Tello Everyone You Know about Tello - The Real Deal

I have tried other low-cost phone companies and have been disappointed. Company A couldn't port my number because it had been locked by Company B, even though they said it wasn't. Company A couldn't figure out that it was locked, so I went a week without phone service. Company C was able to port my number, but phone and data service were both intermittent. I finally found Tello. The phone, data and text services have been excellent. I like that I can use a plan and Pay As You Go together. I do not text much, so I put ten dollars in Pay As You Go to use for texts. That will probably last me at least a year. If I start to text more than I do now, I can always add texts to my plan and start a new billing cycle with my phone and data allowance carrying over as long as I keep them on my plan. The flexibility is great. Learn how you use your phone and design something that fits you. Tello has it. My father only spends five dollars, plus the fees and taxes and gets all of the minutes he can use in a month. You will probably spend more than my father spends, but you probably won't spend as much as you would with a different phone company if you manage your plan wisely.
