A voice in the dark brought me to the light.
I switched to Tello a month ago when my phone stopped connecting outbound phone calls. I borrowed a phone to call customer service and Alison Claris kindly, patiently, professionally and expertly diagnosed the problem which was a residual eSIM that needed to be removed. Voila, Back to chat!

The ease to change plans and the cost, cost, cost.
The ease to change plans and the perfect call quality courtesy of Tmobil for far less cash! Having a single line of cellphone to cost under $15 is a huge help to my budget and I even have international calling options if needed. Finally when I got a new NUU10 cellphone and put the Tello chip from the old too the new it simply worked. No hassles and my original Sim was available on Amazon to get me started.

My VOIP disaster, saved by Tella.
I appreciate everything that everyone at Tella have done for me. My previous VOIP provider broadcast announced that they were shutting down all services and closing in 5 days. Shortly after, they closed their website and closed access to all online customer services. They recommended another VOIP service that looked even sketchier, and which offered a reward for each new customer referred. Since everyone affected was referred by the closing VOIP, I assumed that the first VOIP would get all those sweet referral fees for referring their customers. The second sketchy VOIP took my money and did not set up a phone number for me; also their support Chat Line did not open a chat page and their phone support was not available. Both the first and second VOIP services forced me to lose my primary phone number, which I've used for nearly 30 years, and which I used as an overseas expat. So, after researching "VOIP with the best service ratings", I signed up with Tella. Tella service has been spectacular; far exceeding my expectations. I'll be sure to recommend Tella to everyone who could use Tella's service.

Tello is a wonderful service for Canadian travellers
Tello is a wonderful service, has amazing connectivity, fantastic customer service and is so affordable compared to traveling with a Canadian cellular provider. I already recommend Tello to all of my friends and family and any other Canadian traveling to the US or even to the Caribbean. Forget roam like home, Tello is a better choice period. I use my own compatible cell phone and just installed the e-Sim card. This is now my second time using it.

Transferring landline number quickly…
While I was adding a line and porting our number, I needed to call with a question. I also called yesterday before I ordered the Sim card, and both ladies were very helpful. Since our voipo was closing in a few days, I needed to transfer the number quickly, and the first lady told me I could order it from Amazon. Everything is complete now with the porting, and I appreciate the help. It's good that you are accessible. Thank you! Phyllis Shelley

Julia went far beyond and above all of my hopes and expectations. - My old VOIP service provider (VOIPO) emailed all their clients on the 1st to advise everyone that they are closing their doors on August 6th! (creating a 4 day Emergency!) - I took time to determine that I should sign up with Tello.com instead of the sketchy VOIP service my old provider recommended. - Julie helped me optimize Tello settings and is currently trying diligently to port my 20+year old phone number to work on Tello. (Fingers Crossed!)

Genuinely helpful customer support
Customer service is prompt, and unfailingly polite and helpful. The "worst" experience I ever had over several years was simply calling at a time/day when I couldn't immediately connect with an agent and so got voicemail instead. Every other time, they sorted out my issue/misunderstanding/whatever with no fuss. It's a serious relief to know that customer support isn't going to be a waste of time, stressful, or fail to resolve problems.

Affordable Pricing
The prices of plans are amazingly affordable and the overview given on the app/site are very helpful. The website layout is easy enough to navigate where as the app seems to have less features/control but can still be pretty convenient (although adding more high speed within the app would be pretty nice). Only thing I have an issue with is not having the option to renew your subscription ahead of time. It's not much of an issue as I don't normally use a lot of my high speed in my unlimited plan, but I would like to have to option to renew before the expected date as it would be very useful for vacations or road trips when you run out of high speed and have no access to a public WiFi network. I do enjoy having unlimited but sometimes the slower speed makes it impossible, or at least more difficult, to use even the Tello website when trying to simply add more high speed data.

I love Tello! Before Tello, I was a bit hesitant to try another carrier. It was a great decision as I have not experienced any outages or dropped calls using them. I do wish though that they would partner with other country's carriers as I still have to purchase a SIM card when travelling to Canada. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful.

Tello has been, and remains one of the best cellphone companies out there. Hands down. I love that they're a no frills, straight-to-the-point and get stuff done without robbing-you-blind type of company. That alone speaks massive volumes for them, especially nowadays. I have quite a few of my family members and their families and friends now with Tello. If there were anything I'd ask them to offer would be the simple, big button phones for seniors. Other than that, keep don't what you're doing and thank you!

great but expensive roaming
Everything has been great, especially with the eSIM which I could do over the web last year before travelling to the US. Working "over wifi" on my iPhone, even SMS text, is great when I'm not in the US. Payment (card, apple pay...) works fine. The only pain points: * the app UI is a little confusing sometimes (but not terrible) * Roaming in Europe is a bit on the expensive side. It only works in "Pay as you go" mode and 1 cent per MB is too 5 years ago.
