Out of service for four days

I had been without phone service for 4 days. An employee who I spoke to at about 1030PM Saturday night was able to talk me through getting my phone working again. He was knowledgeable and patient. I wish I had asked his name. But he is a great asset to Tello. I was at my wits end being unable to type in all the PUK codes I could and nothing worked. He was able to walk me through getting my phone working again. It was on an APPLE SE phone first generation. I have had it since it was new. And it still looks new as it has always been in a case. I did not want to give it up. But this Tello employee was the most helpful person I have ever come into contact with.

Great service with tons of features!

My husband and I have been using Tello for now about six months. So honestly, it has been our favorite communication find in many years. We had done GoogleFI because we travel so much yet it’s expensive and after three months of being out of the states, they cut off your data. We needed a reliable service that could handle our American number. We are able to get SMS and load extra money for long distance calling. Tello takes care of all of our needs. We couldn’t be happier and we recommend the service all the time to anyone who will listen.

I have used tellos $25 for 3 months now…

I have used tellos $25 for 3 months now AND LOVE IT however,since I am a heavy data user I always end up having to add more data and end up spending $55 a month.So im switching since I can get a much better plan with more data for my needs for around that price. I recommend it to anybody who uses extremely light data (like when your actually browsing on your phone your at home on wifi and arent using data) However if your constantly traveling or using data on the go use another service for high data users that suit your needs. :)
