Out of service for four days
I had been without phone service for 4 days. An employee who I spoke to at about 1030PM Saturday night was able to talk me through getting my phone working again. He was knowledgeable and patient. I wish I had asked his name. But he is a great asset to Tello. I was at my wits end being unable to type in all the PUK codes I could and nothing worked. He was able to walk me through getting my phone working again. It was on an APPLE SE phone first generation. I have had it since it was new. And it still looks new as it has always been in a case. I did not want to give it up. But this Tello employee was the most helpful person I have ever come into contact with.

I LOVE Tello !!!
I LOVE Tello ! We have had Tello for over 4 yrs. and you can't beat the price ! We set it up to automatically debit our checking account each month and never gave billing another thought! We have the same service we had with the big providers but at a fraction of the cost. Plus we have unlimited talk, text and data. When you are on a fixed income you get smart about your expenses. Not only is the cost terrific and the service first rate but we did NOT have to buy new phones as ours were compatible with Tello's system. All we did was change out the SIM card and activate our phones......we even kept our old phone numbers, MAJOR PLUS ! If you are concerned about coverage, my daughter lives in rural Kentucky and I have never had loss of service. I HIGHLY recommend senior citizens or anyone that wants top rate service without breaking the bank to switch to Tello! You'll be happy you did!

We have been with Tello for almost 2 years now. The pros: we haven't had any service interruptions and I can email support and not be stuck on the phone all day. I have as good of coverage as I did with AT&T. Cons: sometimes the data does not penetrate into certain buildings where I had coverage before and the unlimited plan is not really unlimited. I thought it was supposed to just slow down at certain limit, but we were charged for 1 GB of data on the unlimited plan.

Great service with tons of features!
My husband and I have been using Tello for now about six months. So honestly, it has been our favorite communication find in many years. We had done GoogleFI because we travel so much yet it’s expensive and after three months of being out of the states, they cut off your data. We needed a reliable service that could handle our American number. We are able to get SMS and load extra money for long distance calling. Tello takes care of all of our needs. We couldn’t be happier and we recommend the service all the time to anyone who will listen.

Most friendly over the phone customer service I have seen at all. Best provider for travellers to USA. Despite they don't promise refunds, they often do refund for unused phone service at later day. I've got refunds three times over the years... Compartable service with international phones. Signal may be weak in some rear areas but, considering super low price, their service worth of every penny.

Holy mackerel!!! One of the best customer service/support I have ever experienced. Shaun F and the prior representatives were extremely helpful and patient, with an old guy like myself who has a lot of anxiety when it comes to "technology". I couldn't ask for more professionalism and care. Customer service was available 24/7 and again, each time was awesome. I cant say enough about Tello, I highly recommend their service.

Great customer service!
Good experience but when a customer upgrades, let us know that we need to call in to customer service to have them reset our account from Tello. I’ve noticed when I upgraded from a cheaper plan to the unlimited plan, I didn’t see the full changes until I called in for a reset of my Tello account. All was great afterwards! Good service at an affordable price! Great customer service too!!

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!

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.

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. :)
