The best option overall!
Needed to keep my number and get texts and verification codes overseas. I set it up and it worked well. Now living back in the US, and using their custom plans, which are amazing and I love the app’s design and how easy everything is.

I have used Tello for a couple years now. They have the best prices, and though I haven't needed much customer service (because everything works all the time, we've just added or removed phone numbers), what customer service I have experienced is great! I don't travel much, so I don't know about data service, but I still highly recommend Tello for your mobile needs!

Cheap, but reliable
I am very happy with Tello. The price has been consistent for the whole time that I've used their service, and I've always had reliable service in my day-to-day comings and goings. I had a great experience recently traveling abroad too - no need to contact the carrier ahead of time or purchase an expensive international plan.

In general I love this Tello.
Had been using this service for over 1 year. Especially useful for roaming over the world. Note: 1. Pay per use data in US is twice of the international roaming... 2. Pay per use credit needs to top up with min.20 usd every 3 mths. In general I love this Tello.

Thank you, Tello!
Holy moly, Tello! I have a Samsung A32 5G that I just wanted to have service with as a backup number. Everywhere I go I got that 5G, this could be due to Tello running of of the T Mobile network, which for very fast, good coverage service, the price is VERY GOOD! Since T-Mobile still has their 2G service, even an old flip phone can be powered today. I will now think of switching to Tello on my main because I got … Verizon.

Words don't speak louder than actions
Words don't speak louder than actions. Somebody told me about Tello so I signed up. I was happy I became addicted. Wouldn't you if the reason you walked out of decades old prior Telecom relationship is because you weren't allowed to make one international phone call. That's when it's fun began International call free, cheap like hell oops inexpensive and the international calls are free I mean absolutely free. I made a list for all the people I wanted to be in touch for decades and taking notes on where all they have been what all they have done what all they plan to do with themselves need as astonishing to know how much I last touch. Should I say thank you Tello. How can I when that is only half the story. Data/Data he is the driver of the New World my friend and I am using oodles of it 35 GB wasn't enough I paid extra then out of blue they send me this letter we got you, you have 50 GB now I thought they were kidding I go check to see in the middle of the month they increased the quarter from 35 to 50. Who does that? This is as close to every lunch as we can get. I wanted to say thank you. So I took my old baby out and signed up for a second line. I am not much of a video guy so everywhere I look there is data galore. Do you have a problem with that? The day I realize I have a problem with that all I have to do is Drop a line. The way you set up right now it's not going to happen. One acts as a back up, when he active the other one is passive. Both get notified no matter who gets called. Can you tell I am in Stratosphere actually make it Ionosphere. Have a wonderful day.😎.

We have been using Tello for a few years now. We are very pleased with their uninterrupted services. No other services we had come close to the savings we get from them. No other company adds data and gig speeds without asking for more money. Plus they give you money for referring new customers. We are very satisfied customers. We also had polite and informative feedback from their customer assistants. We recommend them every chance we get.

Very glad I took a chance!
I, like a lot of people, was getting tired of paying exorbitant costs for phone service with stuff I don't want or need. A quick chat with ChatGPT informed me of several options, but Tello stood out for having a normal monthly plan on the network I wanted with fair prices. So, I figured what the heck. I made a line to try it out. That went well, so I ended up porting my numbers from T-Mobile. It was extremely fast. Everything seems to be automated, including retrieving an eSIM. I appreciate that immensely, since I test different phones from time to time. Another plus is that it supports 2FA with time-based OTP apps. This means no texts for a possible SIM hijacker to use to get your code. The site is very snappy, and I like the simple dropdown list to switch what line is being viewed. I've only briefly used the app, but it's not bad either. A couple things I hope will be added is the ability to add a smart watch with true number sharing, as well as the ability to use the Tello app directly to install the eSIM. If I could take full advantage of my smart watch's calling with my existing number, I would have no choice but to give a 5 star rating! Other than that, I'm loving Tello and will definitely recommend it to anyone I can. Someone already asked if I was a salesman for it because of how excited I was when I told them about it! Keep up the good work! Hopefully there will be promos for existing customers to take advantage of in the future!

Yeah! They still have Customer Care ♥
Update: I called several times and finally got through today. I spoke with Johysee B. She was most helpful in remedies for me, of adding and switching phone numbers. She was very detailed and attentive and made everything clear on what I'd need to do. She also explained that they have been quite busy and that they are 24/7 (which I guess I wasn't aware). I am very excited AGAIN about Tello, and I would give her 10 stars if I could.♥ Thank you Johyse B Previously I felt no one had customer care anymore..... 11/3/2025:: (was 3 stars) I wanted to add a new number with them. I've been with tello for years and now they are beginning to suck! They are becoming like other companies and tell you that their lines are busy and so instead of letting you have the option to remain on hold, their system just hangs up on you. I guess that's what happens when companies do well nowadays. I'm very disappointed!

Best MVNO for a good price.
I have used Tello off and on when I am in the US (live abroad), and I have always appreciated their prices. Recently I had to contact customer service and they responded quickly and fixed the issue (my mistake). To find a company that offers a competitive price, but still offer good customer service is rare these days, this is one such company.
