Perfect for US expatriates who need a US number
Perfect for those who want a US number while living abroad. You can get the cheapest plan and have a number to receive your OTPs. You can also call any US numbers while abroad as long as you got wifi. And then when you’re back in the US you just add GB for data and pay as you go.

This was my first time using Tello
This was my first time using Tello, and frankly, I was not sure of what to expect, but after speaking with Olivia, I was relieved. Olivia was exceptionally helpful, and does her job well. She guided us to transfer both our phones and even sent us an email to assist with the final process, as I had accidentally disconnected our call. Olivia was very patient with our questions and clarified all our confusions. The entire process was done with excellence and professionalism, we couldn’t appreciate her and her services more…. Please give Olivia the highest recognition there is, for her service excellence demeanor! Thank you kindly Olivia for your kindness, professionalism and dedication. This is what I call SERVICE EXCELLENCE! Gracias!

I had an excellent experience with the Tello customer service. I was able to speak with a customer service representative- a real person, not an AI- immediately. The representative was kind and respectful, knowledgeable, and was helpful in responding to the question I asked of him before ending the call, "what do I possibly not know to ask that it would be helpful to ask regarding using your phone service?" He walked me through several features that I would not have known to ask about. I am a very happy customer! THANK YOU Cameron and thank you Tello!!! Please continue to offer service like this and you will have me as a customer for life!

Great company that I use for a U.S.-based SIM while abroad...I could even set it up abroad using e-sim which was so helpful. Then I just switched from AT&T to Tello for my U.S. SIM in the U.S. It is working great so far and I'm saving $10 a month! :)

The comment I have about is as a new customer. I was with another carrier for quite a few years and I was having problems getting to buy SIM cards from them. Their system would not OK my credit cards and this went on for hours on the phone and I tried to resolve it with no luck no help and I gave up and went over to tell. I am a senior so I had a few problems getting my number sent in. You know I think they call ported in and the operator Maria Mariva I think it is she was absolutely great when she straightened out the problems I was having and I couldn’t be more happy and my whole family will be switching to tell. Thank you, Ron.

Excellent Support and Service
I paired up with Tello about 5 years ago, and it was just as good back then as it is today in terms of value. You really can't beat $25 bucks a month for unlimited talk/text AND data. They have only gotten more generous as the years have passed - firstly by offering an upgraded 35gb of data replacing the old cap of 25gb. Then, they allowed for loyal customers to have rollover data. It's super and fulfills the need for above average usage without having to worry about being throttled too soon before your plan expires. In addition, when I just recently reached out to them about a phone line that I neglected to cancel myself, I sent them a message asking for a refund, explaining my situation for having ordered a new phone - they promptly responded and were sympathetic to my situation, giving me a refund without further questioning. It made my day to know that the staff behind the desks were not looking to nitpick or look for nuanced ways to undercut my problem. They immediately granted my refund request. It made me even more fond of the service and the company. I have never had issues with connection in my area of TN. Very grateful for the service.

Amazing customer service
I was having issues transferring my number to Tello from Mint. I contacted Tello and spoke with S'aalliyha. Not only did she help me find the cause of the issue, she went above and beyond by remaining on the phone as I resubmitted the request. Her knowledge, professionalism, and friendly nature shone brightly. In a time where customer service seems to be lacking, S'aalliyha's attention to detail, understanding, and commitment to proving excellent service were rerefreshing. Tello is fortunate to have such an amazing employee. Thank you, S'aalliyha!

I've had no issues with them so far, contacted them for stuff I was confused about or something I didn't know how to do and they were really helpful and resolved it quick without problems. I don't use the Tello app for calling besides checking on my account with payments, etc. Because sometimes the call would randomly hangup, so I just use my default call app. But other than that, my experience with them been good.

Outstanding Value
I am not one who uses any phone very much. Most of my usage is for texting. That's why I like Tello. While all the others claim to be a great value, none of them can beat the $9 a month, (plus taxes), I pay for unlimited calls and text. I get one gig of data, too, but it's generally enough for me. I also get free roaming to Canada, Mexico, and Europe! This phone service is actually way cheaper than my landline was, and I couldn't receive texts, or take pictures with my landline.

I am writing to share my feedback regarding the assistance I received during my call with ARWEN.. She was very very patient and spent a great deal of time on my service request. It was obvious that she is very knowledgeable about these details as she very professionally worked on a number of possibilities to resolve my service issue, which she did. She was also quite patient with my requests to repeat information she was verbalizing to me because the phone I called in on is rather old and the speaker sound quality not the best. As a result of her efforts, I am now once again to use my phone to make calls using my TELLO service about which I am very grateful. Thank you so much. I wish you the best in your position with TELLO and hope you will receive promotions and/or positive salary adjustments in the future because you certainly do deserve them.

I had spoken to one operator for about an hour.
I had spoken to one operator for about an hour and we could not get the phone working on the Tello network. So, I gave it rest for a couple of hours. I went ahead and factory reset the phone and had just a bear bones system on the phone. Then, I called back and was talking to Arwen. She was so helpful! She guided me through deleting the old eSim and setting up the new one. So, within about 20 minutes, we had the phone up and running and working great on calls and texts. You have a gem in Arwen. She was very kind and patient through the whole process of getting everything working correctly! I did not get the name of the first person I talked to. However, I have to say that she was very good and knowledgeable, and was also very nice and patient, so give her kudos too! Together, they both helped me to get everything up and running!

I am customer 803-467-7451 Fabio the first customer service agent did a great job while trying to assess the problem with the newtwork. He knew exactly what was wrong with the network in relation to the phone and gave me the right steps to follow and make the newtwork Tello show up on my phone again.Most importantly, because I was waiting for a phone call interview. Can you understand how frustrated must be for someone to have a phone interview and your phone and provider that has never gave you any issues before, now the day of your interview your phone is not working? Can anyone understand that? So, I can only praise Fabio your agent for saving the day but, for knowing exactly what the problem with network was and not my phone. Thank you Fabio and keep up with the amazing knowledge and for your great customer service.

It’s time to be happy with your wireless service!
