The Greatest!

What makes my experience great? I got this service for my daughter and I love the fact the she gets notifications when she's nearing the end of her time. I like the fact that, just incase, I can pay for extended time. I could also always change the plan on the phone. I love the affordability of each plan and the fact that that I can transfer my phone number over. It has overall been a wonderful experince.

Fast, easy, and customizable phone plans

I needed a easy customizable plan for my daughter and came across Tello. Signing up was fast, and very easy. I ended up getting a second line for my youngest daughter as well. Service has been great, no issues at all with dropped calls or missing texts. You can bring your own phone too. With Tello, you can customize your plan for any amount of calling, texting, and data, which is perfect if you need more data for one line, but not as much for a second or third line. Tello is also no stings attached. No contracts, and easy to start a new line. It took less than 10 minutes, and my daughters’ phones were on, and making/receiving calls and texts! I highly recommend Tello!

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.

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.

Tello is the lowest priced telephone service you will find. My wife and I have been using it over six years. We pay $15.30 (including tax) for unlimited talk and text, plus 2GB data per month.

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.

I've been with Tello for several years…

I've been with Tello for several years now. It's function is the same as much more expensive services. I am able to purchase only what I need. Since I have wifi available most of my day, I only pay for a little high speed service. I provide phones for my two kids, my MIL, and myself for around $50 per month. TOTAL for 4 lines! That is significant savings!
