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.

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.

Wife Loves Tello

I signed up my wife and she just loves the service. She seldom uses voice, so the unlimited texting really works for her. Thanks for the great service at a cost that would make even a miser happy.

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!
