Try Out Tello You Won't be Disappointed!
I have been a very Happy customer of Tello for over 5 years and have always been on the $10.00 per month Plan and always gotten excellent service. In those 5 years I think I may have contacted Customer Service 3 times and have always been pleasantly surprised that within just a couple of rings a REAL person answers the phone and will be able to resolve your problem without a transfer. Yesterday was no exception. I had just purchased a new Pixel phone and was switching from a Motorola to the Pixel. Well the new Pixel has an eSIM and the process of the activation seemed simple enough, on the Tello website, but I am almost 80 years old and not as sharp as I used to be and somehow messed the activation up. Well, after initially thinking, Now What? I'm Screwed! I got my wife's phone and called Tello Customer Service. After 1 or 2 rings a nice gentleman, Lucas, answered the phone. I explained my dilemma, he said no problem and that he could get me up and running. He patiently walked me through the steps, never once making me feel like I couldn't do it, even after again doing something wrong on my end. Well the 3rd time was the charm and than he stayed on the line with me until he was able to see that I was connected properly and even make a first call, I am now up and running with a new phone. I am amazed how great both Tello's phone service is and their Customer Service is even more amazing and for me for less than $125.00 PER YEAR. I actually feel a little guilty when each month I pay less than $10.50 including taxes for a phone I use everyday with no issues or problems for unlimited Calls/Texting and up to 2 GB of Data. Thanks again to Tello for their Great Service, their Great Employees and their Great Prices.

Tello is Fantastic!
The first thing that was great was that there was no hold time, my customer service representative walk me through the website and I successfully and easily was able to change my billing payment. I can't be happy with the service that this company is giving me

Tello is America’s Best Kept Secret
Darrel was totally amazing! He helped me get a second line setup while being very patient and extremely efficient about ensuring that i comfortably understood how all of Tello’s amazing festures worked to suit my personsl needs! The BEST thing of all is that Tello is completely staffed with REAL himan beings… and provides 24/7 Exceptional customer service! And I fear I will run out of room before i have a chance to mention their unmatched prices along with a Spam Guard!!! It doesnt get better than this, Folks! And it is SUPER great for the children in your family cuz it provides a restrictive setting to protect children from being exposed to sites with harmful content! Thank you Darrel for treating me like a VERY valued customer! I have had a single line of service with Tello for 10+ years without EVER experiencing ANY problem! (Seriously!). So now I am happily adding a second line! Thank You again, Darrel.You ROCK! (And these comments are ALL True!).

I really like the flexibility of Tello. I travel outside the USA a lot, and I am able to keep my phone number active without spending a lot of extra money. One thing I don't like as much is that, when I change my plan, I lose whatever was left of my previous plan - it doesn't carry over. So I do lose some money if I'm not careful. And my payment date changes to whatever the date was that I changed my plan - that can get a little confusing.

Tello - MUCH LESS expensive, Reliable, Great service
Prior to Tello I first used Verizon, then TMobile. For my usage, both were three times as expensive as Tello. And I had major service problems with both (no signal, dropped calls, unavailable help, nasty help). About four years ago I switched to Tello. Not only is my bill 66% LESS with Tello, I have had zero service issues. Over four years I've contacted Tello customer service three times (with questions like rolling over to new phone, not service issues). I use the online contact option. Tello answered almost immediately, were polite, and provided clear complete answers with none of the upsell. In fact, last time I contacted Tello they responded in less than 10 minutes. I recommend the entire world get Tello.
