Can I top up my data balance via SMS?

Sure! Topping up your data, adding Pay As You Go (PAYG) credit, or even renewing your entire plan is as easy as sending a quick text message to 800.

How to use SMS Shortcodes
Just text the specific keyword for what you need to the number 800:

1. To Add High-Speed Data:
  • ADD1GB
  • ADD3GB
  • ADD5GB
2. To Add Pay As You Go Credit:
  • ADD10PAYG (This option will add $10 credit)
  • ADD20PAYG (This option will add $20 credit)
  • ADD50PAYG (This option will add $50 credit)
3. To Renew Your Plan Early:
  • RENEW (This renews your entire current plan immediately)
⚠️Important: To use this feature, you must have a saved credit card in your Tello account. The SMS system can’t manually enter new payment info for you. Make sure your card on file is up to date!
