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.

Best Budget Phone Service I have found.

This is the best budget phone service I have found. One of the best parts is that you basically design your own plan according to your own needs and budget. I have never had any problems and I have been with this service about 3 years. As of now I don't have any plans of ever switching services.

Tello is affordable and dependable

I bought Tello so that I could call forward my previous land line to my cell phone and still receive the phone calls. The service has been consistent! The one time I needed technical support they understood my challenged and walked me through the fix! I highly recommend Tello to my friends who want good phone service at an affordable price.
