Good Cell service does not cost a fortune
First, reliable cell coverage without dead zones or 'maintenance interruptions'. Second, no silly Gotchas to annoy you into upgrading. Third, great price.

I love Tello because of the outstanding service delivered at a low price that fits my budget. The quality of service is excellent... clear calls without anoying drops, awesome customer service, flexible hassle free changes to service plan, ability to rollover unused minutes and data if plan is changed before the automatic renewal date and low manageble prices. I save money with Tello and that is very important in today's economy.

I get exactly the plan I want
I get exactly the plan I want (minimal) for my cell phone and my tablet. Once it's set it renews automatically, as it just did! I can forget it completely, performance is flawless. When I have traveled abroad using Tello and wifi calling I can keep my number, and calls and texts to and from friends and family cost no more than they would if I'd stayed home. What's not to like??!

I had the pleasure of talking to Sebastian today about an issue that I was experiencing. His expertise and knowledge was invaluable as he was able to find a solution to a complex problem of mine. He also exemplifies the gold standard with regards to professionalism. I really appreciate all the help that was given. Absolutely amazing service, thank you Sebastian!

Love Tello
As a single individual looking for an affordable, but dependable cell phone service provider you can't beat Tello. The ability to build your own plan according to your needs and no-contract is outstanding. I have been a Tello customer since 2021 and have never had a problem or concern with my service and using T-Mobile's network, I have great coverage.

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!

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 fun began, International calls are free, cheap like hell oops inexpensive and the international calls are absolutely free. I made a list for all the people I wanted to be in touch for decades and it’s astonishing to know how much I lost touch. Should I say thank you 'Tello'. How can I when that is only half the story. Data/Data 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 email, 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 quits from 35 to 50. Who does that? This is as close to free 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 Data is my domain. The day I realize I have a problem with that all I have to do is Drop a line. The way it is set up right now it's not going to happen. One is primary the other a mirror. I can tell more but you would be bored. Can you tell I am in Stratosphere actually make it Ionosphere. Have a wonderful day.😎.
