Family plan

I have been with Tello for my own line for a few years. I recently went to the family plan to add a line for my wife. The addition was seamless. I have never had a disruption with Tello; and when I have occasion to call them the agent has been responsive and the result has been positive. To the best of my knowledge the pricing is the best available.

I love you guys

I love you guys! Thank you for providing very affordable service and allowing me to have two phone numbers on my cell phone (my former landline and my cell phone number). I wish I could get better service out here in the country. It’s fine outside but once I go inside it gets sketchy. That has to do with the number of towers available and I don’t think you have anything to do with that. Oh, your customer service on the phone is friendly and prompt. Thanks again.

Cheap and reliable - must have carrier!

My family has been using Tello for over 2 years now (switched from T-mobile and ported our numbers), and we've recommended it to all our friends and relatives (and anyone else who is willing to listen). We love the flexibility of the plans, the extremely reasonable prices, and the reliability of the service. So glad we found Tello and highly, highly recommend it over the dominance of all the "big carriers." Our only suggestion to Tello is that there should be a way to effectuate a plan change in advance for the next billing cycle rather than having to wait until the day before the automatic plan renewal and remember to change the plan.

I use these phones for my kids it's really nice that for $21 three kids have a phone and I can GPS track them because even with the smallest amount of data thing it'll run out quickly but just switches it to really slow internet so I can still track my kids I can still so comfortable letting them go and do things they're all in different sports and they carpool with different parents so there's a lot of reassurance for me that my kids are okay at a really affordable price beening using them since last school year.

Perfect for Seniors! Great price!

I got Tello for my senior mom who only uses a flip phone to call family and friends. It’s been a few years now and she has no complaints. And the cost, which I haven’t found cheaper with any other for unlimited calling has never gone up. All non data users would love Tello. Thank you Tello for providing exactly what my mom only needed without having to pay for data which she would never use.

For small children without internet access

This phone was purchased for my grandson, who is nit allowed internet access. So this phone service is perfect for that. The service is reliable as well.

Took a chance and switched to Tello

Took a chance and switched to Tello, moving my phone number I've had for over a decade. It's been about a year now and I can say that I'm 100% satisfied. Coverage is good and you just can't beat the prices of the various plans. I've now switched my entire family to Tello. I would highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hoping that Tello is available forever!

My wife and I have been using Tello for over a year. The prior charge for the two of us sharing 1GB of data was about $86/month with AT&T. With Tello, we are EACH getting 1GB of data along with unlimited talk and text for $21/month. Since most of our data is at home on our wireless internet, the only month I have run out of data was when we were without power for 6 days after a hurricane passed by. I would HIGHLY recommend Tello to anyone that I know.

Excellent service and quick activation

The process was pretty good as long as you have an account or create one. It worked quickly on an iphone. Very happy with the whole process. This is our 3rd line with Tello. I highly recommend it.
