All in all a good and cheap phone no contract company…it does what it says… the only thing is if you take unlimited internet after a certain number of giga they take down the speed

Great service for my alternate line
I use this service for my alternate line, and even though it is a budget service, It by no means really is a budget service. I often times have better connectivity than the service I have with Visible. It may have something to do with tower location, I’m not sure, but I never have an issue. I really like the way I’m able to select exactly what I want for this line. Great idea for those that don’t necessarily need a lot of data.

I literally can't believe I found this company, really. I am so stoked but I have a bit of extreme anxiety for the simple fact that I have seen so many companies start out being awesome and just become a degenerate version of their selves after some time so I am hoping they keep it together for the long haul because I ticked all the boxes across the board to the max for everything from customer service to signal. And the "on the fly" custom modding of your plan just can't be beat. Don't hesitate. Don't think anyone would end up with regrets! 👍✌️ Thank you for the smooth porting over from TexNow as well ! !

Best phone service!
Most cell phone providers are contract-based & expensive. I've been using Tello for a few years now and can honestly say the service (provided you have a compatible phone — you can check on their site) has been extremely reliable & you only pay for what you need. I'm able to have 3 lines and I pay less than $25 per month for all of them. And I can drop any of them at any time. I honestly recommend Tello over all other providers. I have been with several & this is the best.

Paying one third the price of my previous carrier who has a tv commercial on every minute of the day. Let someone else pay for their advertising. I wish I would have found out about Tello sooner. I'm even getting better wireless signal with no drop outs. Switch to Tello, you won't be sorry.

Great service online and via customer support!
Today I had my first experience using Tello to get another number to use for business separate from my personal number and it was super easy to make a custom plan and activate it on my iPhone! I hit a small issue where I didn't disable my previous eSim and the customer support line via phone call was incredibly helpful. I was impressed and would recommend Tello.

Excellent reliable service that is unlimited inside the United States at the lowest price. My only minor complaint is that I deleted their message giving me the code for text messages, so I can neither read received ones or send them. It's not worth the loss of a star, but still annoying.

Tello is on a League of its Own
I was with Tello for a few years, but because my ISP was offering a cheaper rate if I bundled my internet and mobile, I left Tello for Spectrum. After having twisted my arm to move my mobile to Spectrum, they are now raising the price on both my internet and mobile services, so I am giddily moving back to Tello. I signed up with them on 9/13/25. What I am most happy with Tello is that they have an email through which you can communicate with them and it is marvelous how they reply so quickly and efficiently. Many corporations these days will not let you communicate with them via email and they make you wait for hours on the phone before they reply. It is total madness. They want your money, but they give you the least possible amount of customer service. Tello is on a league of its own. It's customer service is amazing. I have trouble hearing now as I am old and texting is also a challenge for me. I like communicating via email because I have a 75 inch computer screen, and I can see everything well. I can't say enough good things about Tello. Their plans and prices are good. Their website is very user friendly. They seem to delight in their customers' satisfaction instead of their customers' aggravation. I doubt any other organization can make that claim. Sometimes I have trouble with my phone's reception, but I have that problem with Spectrum as well, both mobile and internet (often in repair). I wish Tello would start an internet service. I would be the first to sign up, especially if they continue with the same quality service. And yes, Trustpilot, I am not paid to say any of these things. This is based on my real experience with Tello. I just wrote a blistering review about Home Depot posting product reviews from people given some sort of promotions. How honest could those reviews be? Maybe honesty is going out of style.

My wife and I have Tello as our provider. We both have I-phones and don’t require a lot of data each month. Using our home WiFi saves us a lot of data usage. Tello has a 2gb plan that suits our needs with the option of purchasing more if needed. We haven’t had any problems connecting or being cut off. In one of our trips, we did have trouble connecting in a mountainous region, but that seems to be normal. We do recommend Tello if you feel you have similar needs as ours.

They go the extra mile to troubleshoot promptly
Live customer service has been faded out so its email only but the agent assisting me by email provided me with a ph# extension to be assisted by a live agent who really got down to the problem and was able to figure out that it was the LG phone I was using not a defective sim. LG co. has been shut down for about a year now though there phones are still being sold in stores, through carriers & online.I happened to still have an Iphone 7 that was given to me but never used as I was always used to Android but agent Luis L. was so helpful and efficient walking me through and it was ready in no time for full use and I am ever so greatful. Tello has wonderful customer service.

High quality service for voice/text and data. I like to be able to change my data cap up and down according to use, and Tello lets me do this easily, on the fly. They have an excellent web site that is simple and straightforward. I wish my data use could be monitored more up-to-the-minute (it updates "within 24h") but this is a minor issue and I figure it has to do with technical limitations that are beyond Tello's control. 5 stars overall, highly recommended.

Amazingly smooth process and Transfer of Phones
The phone arrived quickly, and the changeover from my older Moto G was almost automatic. It transferred everything and reinstalled all of my programs. You just need to have both phones logged into the same router. I turned them off and moved the SIM card from one to the other. You just sign into Google at some point. The hardest part in the process is getting signed in to all of the websites you've used. I'm pretty happy about it. I wait a long time between phones. So this one is faster as well, which is nice. And the old one was full, and I went from 32 to 128 GB of RAM. So no worries, I'm a happy camper.

It was very easy. I initially wanted to buy it in small payments for added convenience; however, to do that would meant opening another account with somebody else if I were to break it down into smaller payments, so I just bought it at the full price to avoid further complications. Would've been better to just have Tello deduct more from my account monthly, but still super easy & really good!

Still loving Tello years later!
I switched to Tello years ago, and I’ve never looked back. The service has been consistently excellent with strong signal, no dropped calls, and reliable data wherever I go. It’s rare to find a carrier that stays this good over time, but Tello delivers. The pricing is unbeatable. I’m paying a fraction of what I used to, and I’m getting better service. Plus, their customer support is always human and always available with kindness and care, no runaround. Tello is easily my favorite carrier. Affordable, dependable, and genuinely customer-focused. If you’re thinking about switching, do it. You won’t regret it.

Works abroad.
I switched to Tello because I was leaving with 2 USA phones that didn't want to lose. My previous company told me I could after a while of roaming. When I arrived I needed it in the airport but it didn't work for a few hours. It's kind of complicated to me to understand the way my plans worked to get either internet, or the calls or the messages. Now I got the unlimited plan for both numbers and I hope is working with no more maneuvers. Customer service is excellent so I would advise somebody in my situation to do the same.

Tello support and service
This company is one of the few of its kind. They respond to emails in about 30 minutes no matter what time it is and they understand when mistakes are made so they compensate, they don't try to steal people's money. Their services are also very satisfactory at a low cost and have a lot of benefits. In Greece the cost for such benefits is three times higher. I would highly recommend Tello, with its greatest advantage as I said, immediate service. * This is the second time in my life giving a 5-star review for a company

The entire call went flawlessly
The entire call went flawlessly. I had the opportunity to speak with 2 great agents. Both were very knowledgeable in their trade. Both were beyond fantastic! Both granted great patience dealing with an old man. I can be slow at technology sometimes. Not a single moment did I feel rushed. Not a single moment did either display aggravation when I asked them to repeat their instructions, however, their instructions were both clear and concise, it was me not understanding or getting lost on the phone screens. I have been with Tello right at 5 years. This was the VERY FIRST time I ever had to call and it ended up being an iPhone issue. Tello is nothing short of spectacular!!

Excellent customer service and no problems so far...
After being a customer with Tello for a year now, I can say I'm very happy not only with the phone service itself, but also with the excellent customer service they offer (both in English and also in Spanish, 24/7). Their HUMAN representatives are not only nice and friendly but also very attentive to their customers. Especially, the last representative I talked to a few days ago (her name was Julia) was very professional and supportive. What a difference from working with other major phone companies! I also use the feature that allows me to call my family abroad at no extra cost, and the phone service within the US has been working great as of today as well. I also recently switched my wife's phone number to Tello, and the experience has been simple and easy. I hope this service -and the rates they offer- will continue offering the same level of quality in the future.
