Worth the wait
Tello is very popular so I had to hold for a long time and call back a couple times. But once I reached Maurice, my problems were solved. He took all the time I needed and provided clear, complete, reassuring information, above and beyond requirements. Thank you!

The service is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. It allows me to keep my number virtually via eSIM. They do have their own app that you can use for dialing US numbers, but it definitely needs a lot of improvements.

Excellent Service and Great Prices
I use Tello for a secondary mobile line and am very pleased with the service and especially the cost. No issues whatsoever. Their international roaming features are excellent and surprisingly inexpensive. Highly recommended.

What's not to like?
Tello is great. Original setup was easy. That's important to me as I am a senior citizen. It just rolls along. No issues with coverage. I only use it for calls and texts, but's is reliable for that.

Outstanding Cellular Service Since obtaining Tello service several years ago, I have not had a single issue with my cellular service, not a single issue. I have and still do highly recommend Tello to everyone. And, on top of great service, the low cost is also outstanding.

Super Customer Service with Mauricio
My thanks to Tello and Mauricio of customer service for guiding a tech newbie through activation in April of 2025 and again thru a scary situation - loss of SIM card. Mauricio guided me through how to order the new card in 2025, and in 2026 assured me I am not the only one whose SIM card has gone missing. The support is a gift. I remain appreciative.

I lucked out, both times I called Tello and Julia answered. The first time was to answer all my questions about starting a family plan, where she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. When i messed up the eSIM activation on one of my lines I called and Julia answered again, and resolved my issue in minutes. Super helpful, and I am super grateful

The best part of your customer service…is its responsiveness.
The best part of your customer service is the responsiveness. Verizon is hard to reach and when you do, they are unresponsive; not Tello. I think my trouble activating my phone on Tello was due to a failure in Verizon's cell towers and Tello might have realized that sooner. After a day of trying we succeeded, because Verizon's towers were awake again, I think.

I have been using Tello for many years now. I have never had a problem with their service. When I wanted to join a new phone years ago, it was a Google Pixel 5a5g, a new technology (5g) at the time, it was not an easy task getting the phone on 5g, we had no luck with the supplied SIM, we had to switch to an eSIM and that finally worked. My point here is the technician was patient, and worked with me as we sorted out the problem. Remember this is when 5g first became available. Great customer service, rate flexibility that always guarantees you the lowest cost and 100% reliable service for me. There is nothing else I could ask for from a mobile service provider. This review was not solicited, I felt I owed it to Tello after they have done such a great job for me.

Everything was fine until I found out the hard way that I needed another $20 for Pay as u go, for my 2nd line, even tho I signed up as a family plan, and my wife’s phone refused to connect to International Roaming! It would have been nice to know ahead of time that I needed $40 of Pay-As-U-Go just to have roaming for 2 lines!!….The $5 minimum is a joke and does NOT exist! I did not know this and not happy right now and looking for other options! I did NOT need $20 for a 2nd line!!!

Best decision I made was switching to Tello Mobile!!
I'm so happy I switched my cell phone carrier to Tello, it's literally the best phone service I've had in a long time! Their plans are affordable, ($25 a month for unlimited)! Im not locked into a plan like most carriers. My reception and wifi is always spot on, never missing a beat and the customer service is great too!! If you're looking for a decent cell phone plan that's affordable then I highly suggest Tello. You can always cancel it if you don't like it, but it's definitely worth trying it out for a few months in my opinion.

Great value plan, great customer service, no contract
Their customer service is the best I have ever experienced of online it over the phone ( especially as so many companys nowadays cannot be called or just make you sit in hold and never plan to help to begin with). I have interacted with them over phone and another time by email and they quickly resolved the issues. The price is a good I am doing $25 for unlimited data text and calls, it is probably has more areas that have trouble with service for calls or data than a larger company but is a great budget company, if you have allot of important zoom meetings or very high data use functions to use may not the be best one for you. I also appreciate no contracts just month by month, I have stayed with them for a year or 2 and don't plan on switching any time soon.

Trying to Do the Impossible
I was told that when I returned to the USA for the winter, I could reactivate my SIM card from last year. I tried for 2 hours to get that work without any success. I asked some helper online and they told me to do what I had been trying to do. Finally, I asked for a response from the Help Line. They told me that I cannot reactivate a SIM card that has be deactivated. They were very friendly and indicated they would send a new SIM card in the mail, which I should receive within 3 - 5 business days. I have not received it yet but this is day 4, so I anticipate it will be there tomorrow. Next time I will order an e-SIM card.

Been using Tello for about a year now. There's nothing to complain about on this service. It's robust (T-Mobile's network is great where I live), plenty fast, and it's flexible - I can give everyone in my house the data they require, for way less money than the competition; I tell everyone to use it. Tello is that name that when you walk through a store and "that guy" from the mobile counter wants to "save you some money on your mobile phone plan" clams up when you say "I have Tello", and they know they can't beat it.
