Best Budget Phone Service I have found.
This is the best budget phone service I have found. One of the best parts is that you basically design your own plan according to your own needs and budget. I have never had any problems and I have been with this service about 3 years. As of now I don't have any plans of ever switching services.

While traveling lost cell phone service
While traveling, my cellphone malfunctioned. I couldn’t make a call or text message and worst of sll my gps would not work. I called Apple, they reset my phone. It still didn’t work. I called up Tello. The Tello tech by the name of Belen patiently guided me for about an hour to get a new esim card on my phone.

GREAT VALUE AND BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I have been a Tello customer for just a few years and am so amazed that they offer great customizable plans for great value! I find it so easy to use locally and internationally that I have recommended them to many travellers that I meet. Also very user friendly for me in my mid 70s and not as techy as the young ones! Not only do they offer GREAT VALUE, they have the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever encountered!

Everything is made so easy!
Just added a second line for my elderly dad and it couldn't have been easier! Buying and activating an eSIM, porting over his old number and then deleting the old profile... all very intuitive and simple to do for his existing iPhone, with just a little guidance from the Tello help line folks. They are available 24/7 and there was a real human to speak to at every step if I needed, with very little waiting. They were patient, polite and a pleasure to work with <3 Thanks, Tello team, for making a daunting task so painless!

I needed to reload my Esim on my repaired iPhone
I recently had my iPhone repaired so my Esim with Tello was removed from my iPhone. When my iPhone was returned to me, I was struggling to get my esim to reload. The phone team at Tello were so helpful, patient and knowledgeable. They assisted me in getting a new QR code, explained the steps necessary to get the esim working on my repaired phone and also how long the process would take. I am giving them 5 stars however if 10 stars were allowed, I would give them 10 stars!

😍😍😍 ¡Te amo Tello! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Estoy muy contento con Tello y pienso que es una de las mejores telefónicas de Estados Unidos, especialmente porque los planes se pueden adaptar a mis necesidades. Lo que más valoro es su centro de atención a clientes, ya que todos los asesores me han tratado con gran calidez humana, como si fueran parte de mi familia. Recuerdo especialmente cuando cambié mi celular y ellos me apoyaron dándome un nuevo esim. Y también me encanta que puedo usar mi línea en México de forma prolongada, lo cual es muy útil para mí.

Very knowledgeable, patient and truly listen to what my issues were. She took the time to help walk me through everything. From confirming account details and waiting while my slow wifi logged on to my email. Explain what happened with a sim purchased and resolved the mess I made. This why live people matter and it was truly wonderful and reassuring to have someone like this take my call and provide stellar customer service.. thank you

I don't know of a better price for cell service and haven't had any problems. The int'l calling is great. I've been trying to tailor my plan to my use and don't like that I have to wait to the end of the billing period to make a shift, or else pay a super high price for extra data. The introductory offer credits only last 6 months and you have to have enough to pay a full bill, so most may well go to waste.

I have used tellos $25 for 3 months now AND LOVE IT however,since I am a heavy data user I always end up having to add more data and end up spending $55 a month.So im switching since I can get a much better plan with more data for my needs for around that price. I recommend it to anybody who uses extremely light data (like when your actually browsing on your phone your at home on wifi and arent using data) However if your constantly traveling or using data on the go use another service for high data users that suit your needs. :)

We have also recently used the international roaming feature when a family member was in Vietnam and there were no problems. Today I needed to switch my line to a new phone and I asked a Tello rep for help. The rep was super prompt getting back to me and told me exactly what I needed to do. The transfer to the new phone was simple and smooth.

Tello is for those who want the most value for their money, but don't need all the glitz and glamour of the big wireless guys.

Their plans are simple (in a good way) and you can pick as big or small as you want. For once, I feel like I'm in control of my wireless plan and my budget!

Affordable cellular service
Customer service is outstanding -- no menus to navigate on the phone -- you get connected to a human within half a minute. The representatives are knowledgeable and courteous. By far the best feature I like about Tello is the ability to customize plans to suit individual needs -- something you don't find with other cellular service providers. Plans are very affordable and one can switch plans at anytime. Their website is well-designed with a very informative help section and so is their mobile app. Another bonus is free calls to 60 countries. The network is decent -- I've had no issues so far. Among all the MVNOs, Tello easily stands head and shoulders above the rest for their economical and flexible plans, great customer service and reliable network. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Tello to family and friends.
It’s time to be happy with your wireless service!
