I was dumped by google fi while overseas and their usual outsourced horrendous CSR's are just a pack of lies, despise the company. Found Tello and had super low expectations, thought usual crap. I was 100 per cent wrong. Service staff and support has been 10 stars out of 5. I have ADHD and most csr calls are a nightmare of frustration, Tello the absolute opposite. Fantastic staff and each as helpful as the next. Very impressive, live people with a no problem can do attitude, have my US number and very grateful.

Affordable cellular that works

We have used Tello for a number of months. I really like it because you can select the plan to want based on what you use (how much data, how many minutes, etc) and only pay for that. If you renew before your month expires you can roll over any remaining data too. It's affordable and has decent coverage.
