great but expensive roaming

Everything has been great, especially with the eSIM which I could do over the web last year before travelling to the US. Working "over wifi" on my iPhone, even SMS text, is great when I'm not in the US. Payment (card, apple pay...) works fine. The only pain points: * the app UI is a little confusing sometimes (but not terrible) * Roaming in Europe is a bit on the expensive side. It only works in "Pay as you go" mode and 1 cent per MB is too 5 years ago.

Great cell service and reliability for our area. Great value for our use. And easy use for non contract if using automatic bank payments. Can schedule pay out like any other bill. Easily uses common phone brands (Google Pixel).

Tello won’t transfer my old number over. And the customer service is NON EXISTENT. I have called, left messages, and emails with no contact back. So, leaving my initial review above. But updating to 4 Stars as Tello at least refunded me when they informed me they didn’t transfer over Alaskan phone numbers. Tello claims to never received my email (used form for help on website) nor received my voicemail (called number on website and left message). However, they were very quick to reach out to me after leaving a review and actually worked with me over the weekend.
