Can I use Pay As You Go without a plan?

Yes. With PAYG credit can be topped up anytime via SMS (PAYG), you can use credit for calls, texts, and data without subscribing to a monthly plan. Just open a free account, buy PAYG credit, and bring your own phone or get one from Tello. You can use data as long as you have a PAYG balance and data is turned on in your online account. Once your balance drops below $0.50, data and hotspot will be disabled. PAYG credit can be topped up anytime via SMS or your online account.

Pay As You Go expiry period
  • If there is no active plan per line, Pay As You Go balance expires 3 months after purchase. Once the Pay As You Go credit expires, the Tello service will be disconnected and your number will be deleted permanently.
  • If there is an active plan, the Pay As You Go credit remains valid for as long as the plan is active.
