A great company with excellent service

I have been with Tello.com for over 5 years. The customer service has always been courteous, knowledgeable and excellent. Today, I added a second phone to my plan. No other provider has a better signal than Tello - at my remote location. However, the first person "Maria" or "Mary" who answered the phone at 11.30 am on 5/16, abruptly hung up on me after a few minutes, and I had to call back. The second person, Michelle, was knowledgeable and polite and attended to all my needs -- as always the case with all its staff. I wish Tello success. Somar W.

Good service, good price, great experience with this company

Tello always stay consistent in customer service, small increase in price and very few drop calls. I will stay with this wonderful company. I would recommend it.

Ordering and Follow-Up Process

Ordering was easy but the "free SIM card" as stated on the "Phones" page with the purchase of a new phone, became questionable. I was unsure whether one needed a SIM in both (new and old) devices in order to port one's number and data between the two, leaving me to believe that two SIMs weren't a problem. When I didn't get a free one with my new phone, I did everything manually in order to activate it. The Tello emails with directions that I received were somewhat confusing because they were inaccurate. Also, Tello uses the word "line" and I wasn't sure if that meant a "new number" or new service or plan? Anyway, I extracted my SIM card from my old iPhone and inserted it into my new iPhone and finally got it activated after some frustration. I sent this info via email to Tello Customer Service (TCS) and immediately received several positive responses. The info received back from TCS should be placed under a "Contact Us" banner on Tello's main website page. One of the frustrations by friends of mine that use Tello is the difficulty of being able to physically speak to a Tello rep instead of responding to an automated phone system. A HITL (Human in the Loop) is ALWAYS a good business practice vs AI or any other digital-only business practice. Thank you and have a great day!
