I have said many times before, I am 86 years old, but still drive and get around, so I only use my cell phone for emergencies. I could not afford phone charges with anyone else as I am on Social Security, but you make me feel safe..Thank you for all the old people who can afford you. Thank you so much for not being greedy.

For a relatively unknown company their service is great. I never have issues. Their payment processing and billing is excellent. Best value if you are looking to save on your cell service by not paying for the big name brand companies everyone knows. My Tello does use one of the top tier brand name networks so you can't go wrong!

So far I've had Tello service
So far I've had Tello service. I've had no issues. I've called customer service before just on small issues and they've always answered and taken care of my issue. It's a No frills service but you get what you pay for and I make and receive calls with No problems and use Data with no problem either. At the amount I save for a bigger provider, I save money and get good service.

Great coverage for the cost
Great coverage for the cost. And with automatic payments from the bank it's just like having a plan but it's still a pay-per-month system. Don't think it's worth trying to compare remote coverage these days, but we've had good signal when high enough for line-of-sight.

Tello has always given us reliable service. We are an elderly couple and don't use cell phones that much, so their lowest cost plan is just right. I very much appreciate that Tello has not bumped up the price like so many carriers do, in fact over the past years they have increased the gigs we get at the same low price. We hope to always have them! Thanks, Tello!

Was looking for a phone plan that was less then I was paying on a big carrier. Found Tello at a great price with a lot of extras. When I had a problem with not being able to send or receive text messages on my old phone they did not try and sell me a different phone as I expected. They seemed to be genuinely concerned and went right to work making changes on their system to allow me to send and receive texts. All in all very happy with this company

Add Feature to Website for Plan Change Upon Renewal
Tello provide a wonderful cellular service and has a superb website, although there is one shortcoming that should be addressed by the company. For those customers that wish to change their plan they must wait until the day before the plan expires so they don’t lose prepaid value ($$). It would be much better if the website provided a feature that allowed the user to change the plan at any time but have the option of making the change effective on the next monthly renewal date. Other MVNO’s have that feature in their website customer interface. For Tello to continue to lead the industry it would be wise to add that feature as well. Tello please share this recommendation with your leadership. Thanks in advance for considering my feedback.

Dani is Tello's customer service gem!
A young woman named Dani was my customer service rep. She went over and above to help me with repeated phone calls until I had service and a new phone. Dani said she'd call back and she always did! I tried signing with another company before learning of Tello, and a guy said he'd call back and that call never came. That's usually the norm. So far, if Dani's extreme patience and professionalism are any indication, everything I read about Tello's customer service being exemplary, are true.

Tello SIM Review
Tello SIM Review – Affordable Price & Reliable Network in the US I recently used a Tello Mobile SIM during my time in the United States, and I was genuinely impressed with the overall experience. Very affordable pricing: Compared to major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, or T‑Mobile, Tello is significantly cheaper. You can customize your own plan and only pay for what you actually need. It’s perfect for travelers, short‑term business trips, or anyone looking to save money. Stable and reliable network: Since Tello operates on the T‑Mobile network, the 4G/5G coverage is solid. Internet speed is smooth, calls are clear, and I rarely experienced any connection issues. Easy activation: Buying an eSIM and activating it takes just a few minutes. No contracts, no hidden fees. Flexible plans: You can change or adjust your plan anytime with just a few clicks. → Final verdict: If you need a budget‑friendly, flexible, and stable SIM card while staying in the US, Tello is definitely a great choice.

Cheap Plan to Get US Number Anywhere
Provides consistent SMS capability to me despite me being away from the US. I did a dumb where I didn't configure WiFi Calling on the website properly and couldn't connect for a while, but once I figured that out, that was all that was required to activate my eSIM while physically away.

Better price, product
Price is much cheaper than Tracphone . Plans are more flexible as well. Signal is much better than Tracfone, gone from 1 bar to 4 on the same phone. 5 on a newer phone. Customer service is better too. I would never go back. I had Tracfone over 20 years. It went from not very good to useless, and from cheap to not so much. I have had Tello quite a while now, maybe a couple of years now, never disappointed
