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!

Together, Shawn and Tello provides, patience and excellent customer service.

I originally was going to give a 2star rating but called back again moments later and spoke to a different representative named, Shawn. The previous woman was not very helpful she caused my wife to not want to activate her new tello SIM card. Shawn not only fixed my problem, he helped to reasure to her why i have a great deal of confidence in Tello. Shawn provided excellent customer service and patience for me and my wife's android services/cost and performance issues both domestically and internationally. .ost importantly is that Shawn Allow me to explain the issue without any interruptions before interjecting what he thought the issue was. That is what impressed us the most.

Tello representative was knowledgeable

Tello representative was knowledgeable, understanding, extremely patient and encouraging in helping me to renew my payment. I thanked him for helping me with my difficulties and I am pleased with this opportunity to say what a fine quality service provider he is.
