Tello is fantastic!

Excellent Tello is fantastic! Switched the whole family 6 months ago and now save $100+/month. Custom plans are perfect, coverage on T-Mobile’s network is excellent, data rolls over, no hidden fees, and support is fast and helpful. Best value in mobile, hands down. Highly recommend!

Ported a phone over to go from $79/mo to $25/mo. It was easy once I got a porting code from my previous provider.

Generally Happy

I am generally happy with Tello for my mobile phone service. The price is 5 STARS easily. The coverage is an average 3 STARS. Living in a small city, the coverage is fine. Traveling along the interstate system is fine. But outside of cities and the major travel routes, the coverage is less than desired. Data is 3 STARS. I rarely use my allotted data usage from month to month. But this last month (NOV 2025) while on an extended road trip, I ran out of data with only 1-2 days left before my auto renewal. It would be nice if Tello banked at least some of the unused data from past months.
