Very happy with my Tello SIM card

I use my Tello SIM card when I am in the US. It has always worked well in the various places I have used it. I ordered it from Canada, and it arrived when they said it would. I have contacted customer service for various reasons. They have always replied quickly, with obviously people-written replies. I tried to purchase an e-SIM at one point, being convinced that my phone would take it, and they correctly did not sell it to me, as I was mistaken about my phone. In the time I have had the SIM, they have increased the amount of data on my plan without raising the price.
