The Greatest!

What makes my experience great? I got this service for my daughter and I love the fact the she gets notifications when she's nearing the end of her time. I like the fact that, just incase, I can pay for extended time. I could also always change the plan on the phone. I love the affordability of each plan and the fact that that I can transfer my phone number over. It has overall been a wonderful experince.

Family plan

I have been with Tello for my own line for a few years. I recently went to the family plan to add a line for my wife. The addition was seamless. I have never had a disruption with Tello; and when I have occasion to call them the agent has been responsive and the result has been positive. To the best of my knowledge the pricing is the best available.

I use these phones for my kids it's really nice that for $21 three kids have a phone and I can GPS track them because even with the smallest amount of data thing it'll run out quickly but just switches it to really slow internet so I can still track my kids I can still so comfortable letting them go and do things they're all in different sports and they carpool with different parents so there's a lot of reassurance for me that my kids are okay at a really affordable price beening using them since last school year.

Inexpensive, and good customer service

Pretty much everyone in my family (myself included) has had issues when first setting up the phone with the new Tello sim card. Customer service is pretty helpful and sent us new sim cards. After that, I don't think I've had any major issues for the last two years I've used them. They cost a fraction of what most friends and family pay, and my service is reliable. For all that, I'd say it's worth the 5 stars I'm giving them. One thing to be aware of: don't listen to Tello when they say your phone works the same outside the US. I went to Australia thinking it would work just fine and I found out they only meant that my phone service works when connected to wifi. If you're traveling, you can't count on always having wifi access points when getting directions, calling if your rental car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, or finding restaurants near attractions you're visiting.

Excellent service and quick activation

The process was pretty good as long as you have an account or create one. It worked quickly on an iphone. Very happy with the whole process. This is our 3rd line with Tello. I highly recommend it.

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!

Very happy after 2 years for both lines…

Very happy after 2 years for both lines of mine and wife. Use wifi where ever available for all data so can get by with $10 & $14 per month plans. Wife has Samsung Z fold 3 and I have S9 on the T-Mobile network. I use my S9 like a laptop for all my online activity all day each day. A Best Buy service.
