Seriously best Customer Service ever!

A couple years ago, I set up my mom's cell phone from an expensive senior plan, to Tello. Because she rarely uses her phone except to call me and my siblings, It was nice to have such a low monthly fee, especially on her social security. Barely $1,000 a month. A while back, I got Tello on my phone & I think I had something like the $15 a month 5 gig plan. It was great but recently I found out I qualified for lifeline service. A crappy company but a free service but no monthly fee. I called customer service and I got to speak with Sebastian. I never expected to be treated so kindly. What a wonderful patient man. I hope they recognize what a great customer service representative they have working for them. He seriously was so very nice. He went patiently with me step by step to get my account and transfer pin. I couldn't have done it without him. He made it easy and seamless. I didn't expect them to be nice when I was leaving their company, but they were. I appreciate that. I will still refer all my friends and family to Tello because I feel that they are a great phone company and they deserve to have our business.

Once again

Once again, Tello customer service gets 5 stars. Maurice was polite, professional and patient as we worked through a process to improve our service. Sometimes technology doesn't work as it's supposed to...but when we contact customer service.... we get friendly, focused folks who want to help. Thank you, Maurice. Tello is lucky to have you on their team!

Has been reliable and best suited to my marginal needs. 500 minutes, 2 GB data ( both less than a third usage) and unlimited texts for a $9 custom plan.
