My experience with Tello was absolutely terrific because of the exceptional customer service I received from Franco. Being in my 80's, technology is very much a challenge. I need a relaxed, patient voice on the other end to walk me thru the maze of windows required. Franco was everything and more. He was so patient. calm, and savvy. Quite the professional the world needs more of. Kudos, thanks and blessings galore. Thank you Tello, thank you so much Franco for providing this level level of care and service. S.G.L.

Tello, Awesome šŸ‘
Tello, has been the best experience my wife and I have had in the mobile industry. We purchased our first mobile phone 1995, many companies later Tello is best. With prices on everything rising overtime, I believe Tello is the lowest price we have ever paid and for service. Thank you

Affordable with availability to call everywhere.
This company had an affordable plan as a secondary phone for me to use for back up. It's only 10 dollars. I keep it in my car glove compartment.. I use it to call friend in spain. It does take a long time to connect but it still works well. Like the idea of free roaming now in Europe. Smart!!

5 stars for Lucas - 0 stars for Tello
5 stars for Lucas - he was wonderful - very patient and professional HOWEVER Getting Customer Service was a -1 --- I have had Tello as a backup line for about 4 years - haven't needed to talk to anyone recently but trying to get a live person was ridiculous - there is an Ai chat which doesn't understand the issue - I finally got a phone number but when I called it told me that" no onei s available to answer your call - please email us the problem!!!" Email the problem??? I wrote a very strong email and got an email back that evening that "someone would call the following day between 4-4:30." Seriously??? THAT is the worst customer service ever. BUT I did get the call back during the time period and Lucas was understanding...unfortunately if I can't talk to someone unless I email and wait 24 hours for them to call me back at THEIR appointed time, that is ridiculous and I will probably drop the service

Complex made Simple with Customer Service
Hi reference this number 19241954 Tello and this Gal who help me, Rossio. I wanted to sign up my wife with Tello.com and let her enjoy the ease of operations and all of the low cost of service as I am doing. My request to customer service was complicated so I spoke with Rossio for assistance. She helped me set my wife up with Tello service, got her an exchange number local to our new address, and even got both of us $10.00 Tello dollars for the referral. When you find a internet company that has patience to step someone through the entire setup process with new phone, phone plan, Esim setup and local area code then don't look any place else cause you have found the right company to work with. Tello.com is a phone carrier that is simple and inexpensive. Thanks for your help.

I’ve been with large cellular companies all my life and with my recent decision to travel and after reviewing international calling plans I decided to roll the dice and try Tello. I have been very pleased with the coverage and especially the very reasonably priced offered plans. I have reached out to customer service and response was fast and informative. Very easy to switch and service is dependable. Thanks Tello!

When TMobile shafted me (cancelled my number so I couldn’t take it with me to another company), I picked Tello randomly out of a list for seniors. It has been great! No problems, no drama, no frustration, no price raises. Just $25/month, billed automatically, for unlimited everything. I’m a very satisfied customer!

Cheap-as-chips solution for keeping your mobile number abroad. Only caveat: you have to switch to Tello while you're in the USA. And there's no international plan (that is, you can't use cellular networks outside of the US). Otherwise, highly recommend. Thank you!

He took the time to explain the different plans clearly and really listened to my needs. He went above and beyond to help me find the right option and make sure everything was accommodated properly. It is rare to receive this level of customer service these days. I truly appreciate Ramiro’s patience, knowledge, and willingness to help. He is a great representative of Tello, and I hope his excellent work is recognized and appreciated. Thank you, Ramiro, for making the whole experience so easy and pleasant!

As a senior with hearing loss
As a senior with hearing loss, I hardly use the phone. But a few years ago, the apartment complex I am living in changed their laundry system to require cell phone to pay for the laundry. I did not want to subscribe to mobile phone services that require a hefty sum each month. My son gave me his old phone, and hooked it up with Tello. Never heard of Tello, but my son found this service that is so economical, so perfect for my budget. I am now using this phone more often, talking with others, and learning to text also, with one finger typing. I never have any problems with Tello. Was always able to connect. And the monthly price is just so fantastic, less than $12/mo, can't beat the price. Thank you Tello, Mary

I needed to adjust my plan
I needed to adjust my plan - specifically, extending my existing plan by a couple of days so it would align with my travel dates. I only needed the boosted plan for one month, but my current billing cycle fell one day short of covering the day I needed it most: my taxi and airport journey. My original plan was to cancel and then reinstate with a new plan a few days later. Before doing that, I wanted to make sure this process wouldn't cause any long-term harm to my number, so I explained my intent and needs to the agent. They came back with a much better solution: agreeing to extend my current plan by a few extra days, free of charge, so I could manually select my own plan within the period I needed. This was excellent customer service. In fact, every time I've called, I've been very happy with the support I've received.

Tello is the best
After decades with the 'name' providers I found Tello. I'm older, not tech savvy at all, so I worried about signing up online and with an eSIM. It didn't work with another company I'd tried but it was all smooth with Tello. In four years I've had one problem that was solved right away with one phone call. It's all been smooth with no service problems and the price can't be beat. When I travel I bump up my plan and drop it back down when I get home, no problems, no billing questions. Tello is my communications home and I can't see any reason to ever change it.

I moved my whole family’s service from Tracfone (Verizon) to Tello and had no problems or delays at all. For my particular area, the service is so much better! The price is better as well. After Verizon took over Tracfone, it was one problem after another. I had been with them for over 20 years. After many frustrations with them, I decided to give Tello a try after seeing all the great reviews and great plans. So far I have been so pleased. Hope everything continues to go smoothly!
