Sneak peek:

Tello works seamlessly travelling abroad

I have been using Tello for my second line and recently transferred my wife’s carrier from visible to Tello. We are retired and mostly use home WiFi, so usage is about 5-7 gig. Visible unlimited was not needed and her new Tello line included unlimited calls, texts with 10gig of data. But the real value is that Tello provides international roaming. It’s not free and one has to establish a payasyougo account, say $20. We were recently in Italy and normally purchase a regional eSIM for our primary data source. Here’s the gotcha, European eSIM cards do not work in Switzerland since they are not in the European Union. That’s where Tello comes in, when I needed data Tello worked seamlessly. Therefore enabled me to use google maps, WhatsApp and more. Granted Tello is a NVMO and not perfect. I currently combine the US mobile light plan, $96 per year, 2 gig, unlimited calls and texts, with Tello data only 5gig, 10month. Yes it’s a bit crazy pants but works

Support from Tello is just great

Support from Tello is just great. I had different service from other prepaid service provider but there was simply no realistic support. I had to spend hours to communicate with actual human, but the person simply did not get my problem at all. This Tello team is totally different experience and I strongly recommend Tello!

Tello is a keeper!

I have been a happy Tello customer for almost five years. I first tried Consumer Cellular -- my then-phone wasn't compatible; next Mint -- the service wasn't good. Tello has been excellent -- solid service and great prices. I needed a new phone (my Samsung A10 had reached EOL) and a new plan. I did some research on Tello's website and then called customer service and got Franco. He was patient with my questions and forgiving of my interruptions while guiding me through the ordering process online. I appreciate Franco's helpfulness, as well as the ability to reach a real person! A couple thoughts -- I wanted to call Tello, and found the link on the website, but I couldn't get it to show a phone number. I finally Googled the Tello number. (And I found that 611 works, too.) Also, it's disappointing to me that I signed up for Tello's newsletter, but it's geared to promotions for new lines only. What about goodies/discounts for longtime Tello customers? Overall, Tello -- and Franco -- great job! ~Lee
