Somewhat easy to switch, but more granular customer support would be welcome.
So far, TELLO has delivered the goods: a phone line at a reasonable cost. (as I write this, I am also still waiting for my old phone number to be ported from my previous carrier, but this is not TELLO's fault. I am very sure my previous carrier's greed is causing the problem.) The one thing I do not like with the switch I made (i.e going from my Big Carrier to TELLO) is the transition and its steps (getting the new SIM card, slipping it in the old iPhone, activating it, setting every button in the APPLE "settings" on right, and getting the phone to work correctly between rings numbers and voice mail) is never as easy as one would hope. I am sure this would be equally infuriating with the big carriers (such as VERIZON or ExFINITY or AT&T) but TELLO has no stores and no active phone support, really. Even if they email you back fairly fast after you emailed your question, they always seem to be sending you rote replies of a general nature and rarely apply themselves to addressing the particularities of your case or your question. This means I am spending a lot of time right now trying to figure out how to record a clear outgoing message, and have it delivered to my callers in as few rings as possible. Someone more adept than I am at that game might figure out the hoops quickly, but I feel a bit let down for lack of help, although I cannot deny the technology is amazing and very affordable.

The actual service is great, but the NUU phone I purchased from you is not so great, which is the only reason I did not give you 5 stars. Once I can afford a new phone the 5th star will magically appear. I will continue to use the Tello service because it is just the service I need.

Impressive Service with Suggestions:
I have been using Tello for many months and have found it fairly impressive compared to other services. The voice and data work well. However, the cost for international and roaming services is higher than that of most other service providers. It is suggested that you revisit these rates to see if you can lower the cost. This should give you an advantage over your competitors and expand your customer base well beyond the others. Your market share could explode! Food for thought!

Service works well in a rural area and the low price makes it a no brainer. The reason for 4 starts is that it didn't allow me to open one site using my hotspot - it is a news station that is not mainstream so it blocked it for "Misinformation." That is a big no-no for me, but that is not on Tello - it's on TMobile.

Tello Staff - They Just Help
Wow Factor! Over a few days, Alison Claros, and other fantastic Tello staff worked to track down what I did to confuse myself ( and them a bit). The short story. I bought a sim, installed - it got a number - and at the same time ported ( err, moved) my old number to them. Somehow, I set my ported number up to be an esim - and worse - used my library email. OMG... What did they do? Well, patiently tracked down my convoluted path and got me connected ( ha!) with my number . I was ready to give up, they said we'll help. They did. Yes, wow Factor.

I had no idea that for the mobile app you need a 1-time code instead of the main password use only for the website even though is stated at the bottom. Plus, she did not ask for a Survey I asked her to send the survey because of how many answers she gave me and how patient she was. Additionally, she shows me how to use the chat and tells me is only available when the lines are congested.

Luciana was so helpful courteous. I was having a lot of issues with my previous carrier trying to port into Tello. She listened patiently, reached out to higher level management. She really went above and beyond to make sure she was able to resolve all my concerns (which stemmed from my previous carrier). I was so impressed that I asked her how I can give feedback because she deserves to be recognized. I would recommend Tello because from the smaller companies which offer affordable plans, Tello stands out for customer service.

Generally Happy
I am generally happy with Tello for my mobile phone service. The price is 5 STARS easily. The coverage is an average 3 STARS. Living in a small city, the coverage is fine. Traveling along the interstate system is fine. But outside of cities and the major travel routes, the coverage is less than desired. Data is 3 STARS. I rarely use my allotted data usage from month to month. But this last month (NOV 2025) while on an extended road trip, I ran out of data with only 1-2 days left before my auto renewal. It would be nice if Tello banked at least some of the unused data from past months.
