Updates to a new plan are immediate

Updates to a new plan are immediate. I recently had to add more minutes to a family member's plan and the change was also immediately after the final click. No turning the phone off and back on. Love Tello!

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!

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.

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.

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.
