Quality at a reasonable price!
We’ve had Tello.com as our cell phone service for several years now. Our phones have always worked well! And if we needed to look up information— that worked well too! Tello.com has not disappointed us! Plus very reasonable prices, of course. We highly recommend this service!

Been with Tello over 2 years and what is nice they're not trying to sell you something every week. Their sevice is as good as T Mobil and far, far less expensive. My wife calls Australia every day to talk to her daughter and it cost nothing. It is very easy to change unlocked phones & we have found their customer service is excellent as well. I've told a lot of friends about Tello and they also have signed up with no problems.

I have had Tello service for over 5 years
I have had Tello service for over 5 years for my two grandsons. They have everything they need with unlimited talk and text, and 2 MB of data, which allows them to keep in touch when needed. The service has been reliable and durable and is more than I would expect for such an incredibly low price. I would recommend their service to anyone who wants exceptional service at a very low price!!!

I use WIFI 80% of the time and live in a rural area (No cell signal) The price is the main draw for me I set up auto pay and Tello always give me a notice before and after payment. The ability to change the plan or cancel with no problems is great. I have no problems but haven't had much interaction with Customer Service enough for a full review.

Easy to Use
Easy to set up, easy to change later, the service even reaches me in Amish country (Ethridge, Tennessee). If I'm a little late to renew I don't instantly lose my number. The rates are really cheap with no catch. The simplest time I've ever had with a phone plan. It's so good I felt it was only fair I give a review when asked so I could share my own experience with it. All around a no-fuss affair.

Great service
Great service. Can’t beat the affordability of the line costs. I get unlimited everything just for $25. I’m also able to get 5G even in my rural small town. The phone I got is the Nuu B20. It takes forever to charge but the battery life is great. I just wish they had new phone options for the iPhones. I also wish they would incorporate a payment plan option of their own to pay off the phones over time. I know they have affirm but that won’t really be as good when getting a phone that’s well above a couple hundred dollars. Also feel like the prices on the refurbished phones are a bit ridiculous. They’re basically charging the price of a new phone for a used/refurbished one.

Very happy with my Tello SIM card
I use my Tello SIM card when I am in the US. It has always worked well in the various places I have used it. I ordered it from Canada, and it arrived when they said it would. I have contacted customer service for various reasons. They have always replied quickly, with obviously people-written replies. I tried to purchase an e-SIM at one point, being convinced that my phone would take it, and they correctly did not sell it to me, as I was mistaken about my phone. In the time I have had the SIM, they have increased the amount of data on my plan without raising the price.

Somewhat easy to switch, but more granular customer support would be welcome.
So far, TELLO has delivered the goods: a phone line at a reasonable cost. (as I write this, I am also still waiting for my old phone number to be ported from my previous carrier, but this is not TELLO's fault. I am very sure my previous carrier's greed is causing the problem.) The one thing I do not like with the switch I made (i.e going from my Big Carrier to TELLO) is the transition and its steps (getting the new SIM card, slipping it in the old iPhone, activating it, setting every button in the APPLE "settings" on right, and getting the phone to work correctly between rings numbers and voice mail) is never as easy as one would hope. I am sure this would be equally infuriating with the big carriers (such as VERIZON or ExFINITY or AT&T) but TELLO has no stores and no active phone support, really. Even if they email you back fairly fast after you emailed your question, they always seem to be sending you rote replies of a general nature and rarely apply themselves to addressing the particularities of your case or your question. This means I am spending a lot of time right now trying to figure out how to record a clear outgoing message, and have it delivered to my callers in as few rings as possible. Someone more adept than I am at that game might figure out the hoops quickly, but I feel a bit let down for lack of help, although I cannot deny the technology is amazing and very affordable.

Impressive Service with Suggestions:
I have been using Tello for many months and have found it fairly impressive compared to other services. The voice and data work well. However, the cost for international and roaming services is higher than that of most other service providers. It is suggested that you revisit these rates to see if you can lower the cost. This should give you an advantage over your competitors and expand your customer base well beyond the others. Your market share could explode! Food for thought!

Service works well in a rural area and the low price makes it a no brainer. The reason for 4 starts is that it didn't allow me to open one site using my hotspot - it is a news station that is not mainstream so it blocked it for "Misinformation." That is a big no-no for me, but that is not on Tello - it's on TMobile.
