Honest to comment

It is easy to get the roaming resources abroad, and I can have my own cellphone number, I could start to use it when I was in the US. Once I landed in Calgary, I could turn on the roaming and had the Internet immediately, so the experience was so nice, I would like to keep using tello company.

Tello service can't be beat

I spoke with two reps, Sebastian and Andy, and both were knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. I needed to move my eSim back to my old phone but could not through the self service. Sebastian generated a new eSim for me and gave me clear instructions on how to proceed before we disconnected the call. Unfortunately, I didn't follow the instructions (ROFL) and to make a long story short, I ended up deleting ALL the sims on my phone including the new request. I called back and spoke to Andy, and she regenerated the eSim again for me and cleaned up my mess. Now I have the eSim working on the correct phone. I have been with Tello for years now, and it's just solid phone service for a good price and 24/7 customer support that can't be beat. Worth every penny.

Great service with great price!

My family has been using Tello for a few years now. Tello provides a great service with great price with no hidden fees or surprises. I also love the free international call service as my dad who doesn’t always have his smart phone on lives overseas, and I can call his land line anytime. The customer service has been great, being able to talk to a real person if you need to. While the price of many things are going up, I can’t believe that Tello’s service got even better (more data for the same price) a while ago! I love Tello and I hope the company stays in business for a long time!
