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!

Widat really helped me out so good!!

Widat really helped me out so good!!! I am really thrilled with my experience. Hence I’ve been a customer with Tello for a couple years.

I'm happy with the phones and service

I'm happy with the phones and the deal I got from the company. I wanted good smartphones that did the basics, and the site recommended just what I needed. Speaking with the service team helped me get exactly what I wanted. The only reason not to give 5 stars is the fact that I had to separately claim for the offered cash back deal, rather than it being automatic, and this info wasn't stated anywhere.
