My Honest Opinion!
I have been a customer for since July of 2022, and I have enjoyed every minute with the Company. Never have had any issue with service and Chatting with Customer Service about questions I had, was always Friendly and thorough in the answers given. I have a BBQ Business, which is seasonal, wanted to go Virtual, bought an unlocked Hotspot, that didn't have phone or texting capabilities, but tried Tello anyway, just purchased Data, works Great! Best Economical phone service I have found!

Professional Customer Support Rep Guiding Me to Activate my eSIM
I was in the process of activating my eSIM on my SHARP Aquos phone that I brought back from Taiwan. I went through the process of trying to scan the QR code from the website but the eSIM wasn't registering on my Aquos phone. I call Tello Support and the Customer Support Rep (CSR) was very kind and professional. She was able guide me and explain why my Aquos phone isn't compatible in N. America. As a result of that, I told her maybe I should buy a new phone. She suggested looking at Tello's website with the list of phones. I wanted a phone with dual SIMs. I asked about the Pixel 7 and iPhone 11 (that I both already owned), and I didn't know both phones have a 2nd SIM spot. Without having to buy a new phone, I was able to utilize my existing phone. The CSR was able to guide me through the process of activating my eSIM on my Pixel 7 or iPhone11. She knew where to navigate in the settings menu structure for both devices. I finally chose to install it on the Pixel 7 because I'm planning to replace iPhone11. The CSR was very patient and resourceful in guiding me to all the way to activating, testing a call, and sending a text message. I'm glad I don't have to buy a new phone, and was able to utilize my existing phone. I'm really happy with the CSR who handled my case, she did a wonderful job.

Tello is a great for saving me money. Especially since I don't call, text or use internet service very often. Tello has plans as low as ten dollars a month. My Tello plan allows me to avoid paying high phone service fees. I am very happy about that because I don't use my phone that often.

Excellent Service Agent
Julia is quite skilled at answering technical questions. It took just a few minutes to transfer the Tello service and answer questions for installing as E-sim. Very friendly attitude. It was one of the better experiences compared to the technical assistance of my other providers across all types of services. Also, those other providers like VPN, anti-virus, etc. limit communication to chat and e-mail. A phone call saves me so much time and aggravation. Thank you Tello for this option.

Tello Earned a Loyal Customer for Life
Over the years, I’ve tried several mobile carriers, but none have come close to the quality and reliability that Tello offers. The 5G speeds I get in town are absolutely incredible — I’m consistently seeing speeds over 500 Mbps, and sometimes even higher! Your service has truly exceeded my expectations, and because of that, I’ll be adding my niece to my plan soon so she can experience the same excellent coverage and performance. Thank you for providing such an outstanding and affordable mobile service. Keep up the great work!

Don't like losing my balances
Normally I only need a 2 gig subscription when I am home, because I am using wifi. But when I am about to start a trip, and I want to be sure I have mobile data, so I need to sign up for 5 or 10 gig. If I renew, I lose whatever balance I already paid for. Tello should roll the unused portion into my new plan. I would be ok witha limit on rollover balances, say 2 gig or 5 gig, but having rolloverst would go a long way toward improving customer satisfaction.

Best price and reliable
Tello is the cheapest, most flexible plan for people, with only 1 month purchases. It is probably the cheapest for all people, and especially good for people who don't need unlimited data or minutes. The service is reliable.

Affordable Prices with Less Stress!
I've been with Tello before in the past and then eventually moved to Other carriers, only to return. My mom is even on Tello because its affordable and you buy what you need and what you could afford. There's few other carriers similar to Tello and I checked them out but Tello really is Truly Affordable, with less stress.

Zero connectivity issues, excellent customer service and very responsive, price is by far the cheapest. I love the mobile app very easy interface efficient and stable. I recommend Tello every day. I have been a loyal user with 2 lines for more than 4 years. The unlimited plan started at 20GB, then increased to 35GB and today I got an absolute happy surprise that they increased it to 50GB that's by far more than double than any best offer you can get at this price and I did not even had to ask or complain. Go Tello, you are the best in your rank and I thank you everyday for making my life a little bit better and less stressful compared to other mobile services. Again, strongly recommended.

Best reception ever, price is great!
I was tired of paying big money for poor service, 2 bars at best from both AT&T and Verizon. Tello has given me FAR better reception, full bars all the time here, at a far cheaper price. The ONLY thing I don't like is the limited choice of phones and the poor quality of refurbished phones. Buy new, not used. Word to the wise.

My data plan was slightly upgraded for free
My unlimited plan got upgraded for free to be 50 Gbs of high speed data. I think it used to be 20 Gbs before it got slow. I’ve been a customer for a year or so now. I’m not sure how much this benefits me. They sure presented like an amazing gift so I’m happy for that experience.
