Best MVNO for a good price.
I have used Tello off and on when I am in the US (live abroad), and I have always appreciated their prices. Recently I had to contact customer service and they responded quickly and fixed the issue (my mistake). To find a company that offers a competitive price, but still offer good customer service is rare these days, this is one such company.

Great affordable service
Have had tellow for over a yearI have had very good coverage everywhere and I live very rural they run on most T-Mobile networks so we're fairly covered it's very affordable and if I know I'm going to need more data it's very easy to just upgrade my plan but make sure you do it right around your payment date

Tello is God's Gift to Cell Phone Users
To me, Tello is God's Gift to the USA. Every day, I hope that everyone in America will discover Tello and switch to it. Tello is Honesty, Generosity (NOT greedy as all others), Great Service, Great Support, Always available and easy to get Customer Service 24/7 without having to go through long prompts and having to wait for long periods of time to talk to someone. Right now I had an example of that when calling regarding an issue that was my fault. Immediately, Julia Infante answered and was as wonderful as all of the other Tello Agents I spoke with in the past. Absolutely no issues with language/heavy accents that create bad communication as with other companies, very well-mannered, extremely helpful, quick, knowledgeable, supportive and kind.

Excellence in Customer Service & Problem Resolution
I've always had good experiences with Tello customer service representatives. Some better than others, of course. But, today it was Julia who was simply fantastic! I had trouble porting back over to Tello. Another rep said my phone was locked (it wasn't). Julia handled this worn-out customer with deft patience, attention, clear direction, and tenacity! She is A++. Do show her that you recognize her for these valued attributes when her next review is due, and reward her with a generous wage increase sooner rather than later. Thank you. Both of us would appreciate it. (Case no. 17998933)

The fact that I found Tello after a series of disasters with so many other institutions that claimed to offer adequate service, Tello tops them all because they have given me truly superior service ever since I began with them. I can and will always give them the highest praise!

Tello Adds Value without Raising its Rates
I'm very impressed with Tello's determination to keep its customer base. They have now twice increased the number of Gigs on the unlimited account while keeping their rate at the same level. I have not found any other service provider who goes out of their way to make it worth their business.

Tello s perfect for people like me. I really don't like or use cell phones, but I live in the country so having a phone in case of emergency is important to me. Tello is by far the least expensive way to have a cell phone for those rare instances I need one. Tello is cheap, reliable, and completely pay-as-you-go.

You are existing. I told many people about your company, and every one never heard about you.
price is wonderful, connection is good and I don't have to call your company for any help and complains. you are very good, so I don't have to ask help, and satisfying connection, so don't need to complain (so far - many companies were good in the beginning and the they were very bad when I use them such as Verizon, AT & T and T-mobile). I don't want to keep change my phone service carrier.

Never have had any issue with service and Chatting with Customer Service about questions I had, was always Friendly and thorough in the answers given. I have a BBQ Business, which is seasonal, wanted to go Virtual, bought an unlocked Hotspot, that didn't have phone or texting capabilities, but tried Tello anyway, just purchased Data, works Great! Best Economical phone service I have found!

Professional Customer Support Rep Guiding Me to Activate my eSIM
I was in the process of activating my eSIM on my SHARP Aquos phone that I brought back from Taiwan. I went through the process of trying to scan the QR code from the website but the eSIM wasn't registering on my Aquos phone. I call Tello Support and the Customer Support Rep (CSR) was very kind and professional. She was able guide me and explain why my Aquos phone isn't compatible in N. America. As a result of that, I told her maybe I should buy a new phone. She suggested looking at Tello's website with the list of phones. I wanted a phone with dual SIMs. I asked about the Pixel 7 and iPhone 11 (that I both already owned), and I didn't know both phones have a 2nd SIM spot. Without having to buy a new phone, I was able to utilize my existing phone. The CSR was able to guide me through the process of activating my eSIM on my Pixel 7 or iPhone11. She knew where to navigate in the settings menu structure for both devices. I finally chose to install it on the Pixel 7 because I'm planning to replace iPhone11. The CSR was very patient and resourceful in guiding me to all the way to activating, testing a call, and sending a text message. I'm glad I don't have to buy a new phone, and was able to utilize my existing phone. I'm really happy with the CSR who handled my case, she did a wonderful job.

Tello is a great for saving me money. Especially since I don't call, text or use internet service very often. Tello has plans as low as ten dollars a month. My Tello plan allows me to avoid paying high phone service fees. I am very happy about that because I don't use my phone that often.

Excellent Service Agent
Julia is quite skilled at answering technical questions. It took just a few minutes to transfer the Tello service and answer questions for installing as E-sim. Very friendly attitude. It was one of the better experiences compared to the technical assistance of my other providers across all types of services. Also, those other providers like VPN, anti-virus, etc. limit communication to chat and e-mail. A phone call saves me so much time and aggravation. Thank you Tello for this option.

Tello Earned a Loyal Customer for Life
Over the years, I’ve tried several mobile carriers, but none have come close to the quality and reliability that Tello offers. The 5G speeds I get in town are absolutely incredible — I’m consistently seeing speeds over 500 Mbps, and sometimes even higher! Your service has truly exceeded my expectations, and because of that, I’ll be adding my niece to my plan soon so she can experience the same excellent coverage and performance. Thank you for providing such an outstanding and affordable mobile service. Keep up the great work!

Don't like losing my balances
Normally I only need a 2 gig subscription when I am home, because I am using wifi. But when I am about to start a trip, and I want to be sure I have mobile data, so I need to sign up for 5 or 10 gig. If I renew, I lose whatever balance I already paid for. Tello should roll the unused portion into my new plan. I would be ok witha limit on rollover balances, say 2 gig or 5 gig, but having rolloverst would go a long way toward improving customer satisfaction.

Zero connectivity issExcellent service & mobile app. Strongly recommended. ues
Zero connectivity issues, excellent customer service and very responsive, price is by far the cheapest. I love the mobile app very easy interface efficient and stable. I recommend Tello every day. I have been a loyal user with 2 lines for more than 4 years. The unlimited plan started at 20GB, then increased to 35GB and today I got an absolute happy surprise that they increased it to 50GB that's by far more than double than any best offer you can get at this price and I did not even had to ask or complain. Go Tello, you are the best in your rank and I thank you everyday for making my life a little bit better and less stressful compared to other mobile services. Again, strongly recommended.
It’s time to be happy with your wireless service!
