Seriously best Customer Service ever!
A couple years ago, I set up my mom's cell phone from an expensive senior plan, to Tello. Because she rarely uses her phone except to call me and my siblings, It was nice to have such a low monthly fee, especially on her social security. Barely $1,000 a month. A while back, I got Tello on my phone & I think I had something like the $15 a month 5 gig plan. It was great but recently I found out I qualified for lifeline service. A crappy company but a free service but no monthly fee. I called customer service and I got to speak with Sebastian. I never expected to be treated so kindly. What a wonderful patient man. I hope they recognize what a great customer service representative they have working for them. He seriously was so very nice. He went patiently with me step by step to get my account and transfer pin. I couldn't have done it without him. He made it easy and seamless. I didn't expect them to be nice when I was leaving their company, but they were. I appreciate that. I will still refer all my friends and family to Tello because I feel that they are a great phone company and they deserve to have our business.

Tello is an ideal cell phone company
Tello is an ideal cell phone company. They pay attention to the consumer and offer plans that are relevant. I am a moderate data user--they have something for me. Price is competitive and they are transparent in their communications. Since they piggyback on T-Mobile, sometimes data access is not available. It hasn't occurred enough to be an issue.

We do appreciate our Tello service! We were a mainstream cell provider customer for a very long time. We tried Tello on an old phone, the coverage was good, and we switched over! We now have 4 phones/lines for less than we paid for two with our former contract provider, and the coverage is just as good. Give it a go and you’ll love it too!

Easy and Uncomplicated
Over the past month, I have interacted with Tello both directly with staff through the chat and through the website. Both interactions were smooth and helpful. The online messages were very helpful for what I needed. Then the website worked easily and clearly. I find Tello has great flexibility for my needs, as I live outside the US. Scott

Tello won’t transfer my old number over. And the customer service is NON EXISTENT. I have called, left messages, and emails with no contact back. So, leaving my initial review above. But updating to 4 Stars as Tello at least refunded me when they informed me they didn’t transfer over Alaskan phone numbers. Tello claims to never received my email (used form for help on website) nor received my voicemail (called number on website and left message). However, they were very quick to reach out to me after leaving a review and actually worked with me over the weekend.

TELLO: Reliable service, Easy start up, LOW COST
I left a large telephone service provider where I was paying $100 a month for two lines. Tello service on the same two phones for similar plans is $32 a month. The Tello instructions to start the service up, and then roll over both my old numbers, were clear and concise. It took me all of 15 minutes to start up. That was two years ago and I have had absolutely no problems with Tello since. I did have two problems with the previous provider who gave me a hard time about giving me the code to switch service, and then would not stop billing me for two months. GO TELLO

The greatest deal in cell phone service is Tello. Unlimited texting and 100 minutes a month for $5. I never had a problem with anything. AND a Big Plus! Excellent customer support located in the USA with people who speak American English. My wife and I are beyond satisfied with Tello.

Easy & Flexible
Very competitive plans -- and very flexible. If I'm about to travel I might go for 'unlimited' one month and if I'll be at home (and mostly on WiFi) I can opt for a cheaper plan with less data. You can save a little on voice minutes too by dialing it down to 300 minutes if not a big talker. Sometimes the T-Mobile coverage in my area isn't as good as AT&T, but I can't fault Tello for that.

Great, but has an issue when transissioning.
We use Tello at our home, and we are very happy with it. The only issue we have is that when we leave home in the middle of a call, the call gets dropped. I tried this on both when I am having a regular call or a video call using an app. I do have a data plan with my Tello, so I would think the transition between wifi to cellular data should be seamless, but obviously it is not.

My iphone suddenly needs service while I’m traveling overseas, and the service folks asked me to make sure my Esim is backed up. I couldn’t find my original package, and Apple has no procedure for doing that. So, I contacted Tello via the app to find out what to do. They gave me crystal clear instruction via email within 30 minutes. Then, I saw in the procedure that I needed my security PIN, which I forgot long ago. I contacted them again in the app, and within minutes I got clear instructions to follow and I got a new PIN! Thanks to Dana and all the customer service team at Tello. I’m never disappointed.

I use the Tello service for my laptop. I have used it in many remote areas an I have always had good service. I have always gotten good support via email. I have seen up to 800gb bandwidth. I normally get 80 to 250gb all the time. I am a computer user who has to use powerful computers that require 86X programs. Not an ARM Snapdragon processor. I love the upgrade to buy more data when needed since my requirements vary.

Happy customer for a couple years now. Really love the superb value for the money. Rarely an issue with a call. Prompt answers to questions from customer service. Had a little glitch on an international trip recently as far as using international roaming, so that was a bit of a disappointment, but got it figured out for the next time around!
It’s time to be happy with your wireless service!
