Tello is for those who want the most…

Tello is for those who want the most value for their money, but don't need all the glitz and glamour of the big wireless guys. The first thing you notice is how simple their website is simple (in a good way) and how all their base plans give you a great deal of flexibility and control. Their plans are simple (in a good way) and you can pick as big or small as you want. For once, I feel like I'm in control of my wireless plan and my budget!
