This service is absolutely fantastic

This service is absolutely fantastic! We used to be with T-Mobile for years, but we switched over to Tello for a better price, and the signal quality is just as good as T-Mobile's. We’ve enjoyed over a year and a half of flawless service, even adding an extra line! I wholeheartedly recommend Tello—it's been a game-changer for us!

Great service online and via customer support!

Today I had my first experience using Tello to get another number to use for business separate from my personal number and it was super easy to make a custom plan and activate it on my iPhone! I hit a small issue where I didn't disable my previous eSim and the customer support line via phone call was incredibly helpful. I was impressed and would recommend Tello.

High quality service for voice/text and data. I like to be able to change my data cap up and down according to use, and Tello lets me do this easily, on the fly. They have an excellent web site that is simple and straightforward. I wish my data use could be monitored more up-to-the-minute (it updates "within 24h") but this is a minor issue and I figure it has to do with technical limitations that are beyond Tello's control. 5 stars overall, highly recommended.
