I LOVE Tello !!!

I LOVE Tello ! We have had Tello for over 4 yrs. and you can't beat the price ! We set it up to automatically debit our checking account each month and never gave billing another thought! We have the same service we had with the big providers but at a fraction of the cost. Plus we have unlimited talk, text and data. When you are on a fixed income you get smart about your expenses. Not only is the cost terrific and the service first rate but we did NOT have to buy new phones as ours were compatible with Tello's system. All we did was change out the SIM card and activate our phones......we even kept our old phone numbers, MAJOR PLUS ! If you are concerned about coverage, my daughter lives in rural Kentucky and I have never had loss of service. I HIGHLY recommend senior citizens or anyone that wants top rate service without breaking the bank to switch to Tello! You'll be happy you did!

Everything is made so easy!

Just added a second line for my elderly dad and it couldn't have been easier! Buying and activating an eSIM, porting over his old number and then deleting the old profile... all very intuitive and simple to do for his existing iPhone, with just a little guidance from the Tello help line folks. They are available 24/7 and there was a real human to speak to at every step if I needed, with very little waiting. They were patient, polite and a pleasure to work with <3 Thanks, Tello team, for making a daunting task so painless!

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. :)
