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!!

Customer Service Review

It seemed to be a hopeless situation restoring my service which was turned off because the auto payment did not process. Bank card was accidentally turned off and service ended. It was complicated by the fact I did not remember my Tello password and had old, outdated info in my account setting. The rep was patient and helped me to set up my current info and have the payment processed and my phone service was restored. I appreciate his understanding and patience and was relieved that I did not have to set up a new account and phone number.
