Friendly to people who actually travel

First of all, Tello didn't ask me to write this review. They didn't put up banners or popups or send me emails unlike a certain bank which I probably can't name here. I used to use Mint Mobile and as someone who travels overseas, you simply cannot log into the Mint Mobile app, website while overseas and I used to play the VPN game and still couldn't get in. Because Mint doens't think Americans travel apparently. Well I finally had it and at the recommendation of ChatGPT, decided to give Tello a try. Instantly Tello advertises itself as a service for people who actually travel abroad. Because people need to be able to use their credit cards overseas and receive text messages. Tello gets this and the whole setup was very fast and efficient. I was then able to confirm Chase/Capital One was actually able to text me as needed. I love Tello's pricing and its 1/3 the price of Mint with add on pricing that allows you to roam as well. So far their app/website did not mind I am travelling overseas and let's hope they don't do what Mint does. Excellent service Tello!

Best wireless company out there....

I love tello it's the best wireless company out there ! Many claim to be but no where close . The customer service is friendly and you can't get a better deal so many company's claim unlimited data but it's only like 8gigs then it will slow down no you don't have no data left but for 20$ add 3 gigs I was spending 60-80$ a month with yellow the first three months was only 15$ for unlimited talk , text and data after that I pay 25$ a month 27$ w/tax. I've never lost signal I don't run out of data anymore you get 36 gigs for unlimited data . There's no contracts you can keep your number so why wouldn't you try it ? It's a win win all the way around if you don't like it switch back and pay more ! Best service I've ever had and I'm 60 other companies claim to be the best but you pay more for a name. It's better then any of them try it what do you have to lose.... with tello you save 300$ a year if you pay 50$ a month so why wouldn't you check it out ? Thank you Tello One Happy Customer
