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!
