exceptional customer service
The customer service team is the best. I contacted by email. I thought I had to wait at least a day for the response. They provided information to help me fix the problem within one hour, however the first method did not work. Then I contacted them again and heard back from them within 22 min and it fixed my problem. Thank you so much. I will never change to other providers.

Heartfelt Thanks for Outstanding eSIM Activation Support
Dana, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the exceptional service you provided during my eSIM activation. Your patience, professionalism, and expertise made the process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Your dedication to ensuring that everything was set up correctly and your willingness to go the extra mile did not go unnoticed. It’s rare to come across such outstanding customer support, and I truly appreciate the effort you put in to assist me. Thank you once again for your kindness and efficiency. You’ve made a lasting positive impression, and I’m truly grateful!

Affordable cellular service
Customer service is outstanding -- no menus to navigate on the phone -- you get connected to a human within half a minute. The representatives are knowledgeable and courteous. By far the best feature I like about Tello is the ability to customize plans to suit individual needs -- something you don't find with other cellular service providers. Plans are very affordable and one can switch plans at anytime. Their website is well-designed with a very informative help section and so is their mobile app. Another bonus is free calls to 60 countries. The network is decent -- I've had no issues so far. Among all the MVNOs, Tello easily stands head and shoulders above the rest for their economical and flexible plans, great customer service and reliable network. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Tello to family and friends.

The best and cheapest phone service in the world
I am about to start using this wonderful service. Compared to other US based phone services this one is much better if we talk about prices and all other features. It's a shame that many people are not informed about this magnificent company. Let's imagine just for 5$ monthly you may use your service without any contract, or if you want US unlimited calls there is another 8$ plan. If you are in the US and you need data, the most expensive plan is 25$ per month. With these plans you are able to call 60 other countries for free and if your country is not listed you may purchase pay as you go credit. For all of those who are trying to port their numbers the process is pretty easy. It may take some 5 business days. Also if you are outside of US but you still want to use US phone number, you may use this service together with your local phone provider cause this company is offering ESim. Finally, I need to emphasize an excellent experience with their perfect customer service. If everything else isn't good their customer service is the best compared to others. Agent Mihail Vass was so friendly, professional and kind that I can only recommend it to all normal people of good will. His readiness to help, knowledge and intelligence may only make you speechless. Strongly recommended to everybody.

I ❀️ Tello, already!
Just got connected today with Tello mobile service and it's already been a great experience and a HUGE relief after suffering under the price-gouging, Xfinity/Comcast crooks and the difficulty in reaching an agent. I had trouble with my Tello phone service today after the port-in was successful. I wasn't able to make phone calls, but texting worked. I called the Tello customer service and actually got a live, human on the phone in less than one minute. The technical specialist I spoke with, walked me through the process of getting a new eSIM. She knew exactly how to instruct me every step of the way. I was able to make phone calls within five minutes after working with her. I cannot express the joy and glee that I feel now that I have switched to Tello. $14 a month compared to $80 a month with Xfinity/Comcast. This is beyond a great bargain! Thank you Tello and your awesome technical support!πŸ₯³

Very Pleased
Well I was hesitant and skeptical about how good the service was going to be. That has been excellent. So far. I found less dead zones that I have at Verizon and usually have more bars and then either Verizon or AT&t in my area. This has been a great experience so far and I continue to enjoy the savings off the astronomical bills that the other carriers charge. I do not know just how long this is going to be but I am enjoying it for now. Very pleased. Excellent five star. Setup was very easy to the point.

No mobile data while roaming on Tello--Resolved!
I am roaming in South Korea and have had problems connecting to mobile data, meaning I couldn't receive MMS's or connect to the internet at all. After trying to troubleshoot with forum discussion suggestions, I sent an email to Tello's customer service. Over the course of solving the problem, I was contacted by 3 different representatives who each provided key information on solving my problem: Alejandro, Samuel, and Mihail. Key information provided like roaming Tello APN settings and manually choosing a network were essential in confirming my roaming status and resolving my issue. Replies and troubleshooting messages were detailed and swift. I've had a great experience with Tello's customer support (and especially with Alejandro and Mihail) and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again if I have another concern. They are awesome!

Great Service and Easy To switch from Mint
The agent I spoke with Maurice was exceptional. Tello was extremely easy to port into, the whole process took maybe 10 minutes. My husband also signed up and soon we will be adding a pay as you go line for our tween girl. It's been about a week since we started service with Tello and no disappointments! No streaming lags and the phone app very easy to install and use.

TRIED AND TRUE
Having been a Trucker and traveling all over the states, a phone that works everywhere is a necessity, and it does that at about one half the cost of other phones. I've used Tello for so long I don't remember when I started, other than years ago. Whenever I'm asked for a phone recommendation I don't hesitate to recommend Tello, Confidence in your phone and a few extra bucks in your pocket makes for "Good Medicine".

Purchase was fine but a waste of money.
Purchased $20 worth of additional data for my wife’s phone. The transaction was easy and the data was immediately available. The reason I am only giving 4 stars is because I previously bought $20 “pay as you go” for my phone because I was traveling to Canada and wanted to use my phone. I did, using exactly $1.15 for international roaming, leaving an unused balance of $18.95. I could not use that money to buy data for my wife and I doubt I will be traveling internationally again. I cannot apply the $18.95 to my monthly charge so I guess I will just have to kiss that money goodbye. It’s a bit of a shame.
