I have been using Tello for many years…
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.

We would like to share our sincere appreciation for Tello. We are Dmytro and Victor, and our experience with Tello has been truly excellent. The service is reliable, flexible, and very convenient, even when used outside the United States. What impressed us the most is the outstanding customer support. The support team works very fast, professionally, and efficiently. Every issue we had was resolved promptly and with genuine care, which is especially important when you are abroad. Thanks to Tello, we feel free and connected anywhere in the world. Whether it’s Wi-Fi calling, app-based services, or account support — everything works smoothly and gives peace of mind no matter where you are located. We highly recommend Tello to anyone who values freedom, reliability, and excellent customer service. Thank you, Tello, for a great service! Sincerely, Dmytro & Victor

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.

Support for eSIM setup
Lost my phone abroad and had to get a new one. Encountered somme difficulties setting up the eSIM. Tello support team jumped on the issue quickly with an ensuing long back and forth to troubleshoot the issue where they were always prompt to answer. Their suggestions helped me solve the issue with a now working line. In short, quality and prompt support with professionalism.

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.

Ridiculous savings switching from S.Talk to Tello
The service provided by tello is off the chain yo. I mean how they let you build your own plan customized to your individual needs with talk text and data is truly a cash saving method. As for the service data signal it's as good if not better than any other network provider I've previously used. For years I just knew there had to be a better way for a lower cost Hello Tello I found the way.

Considering their customizability and possibility of achieving really low monthly cost if you need the bare basics, their service is great. Also, one of the main reasons I use them is the ability to switch between physical sim and ESIM as much as I want or move to another device without even having to reach out to support and can do everything right in my dashboard. If they did not have this capability I would possibly go somewhere else. This is a unique benefit they offer that I'm not sure many others have.
