⭐️ Rated Excellent by customers just like you!
Don’t just take our word for it! We’ve been rated excellent on Trustpilot by fellows who appreciate the affordability, flexibility, and simplicity of our phone plans. Here’s just a teeny-tiny bit of what they’re saying about us:
I love the flexibility of the customized plans. I have 4 lines each with a different custom plan and it’s exactly what I needed at the right price. – Trevor Wilcox
Super flexible plans and excellent value for good service. The price you can’t beat! – Ronald Li
The service works perfectly. The pricing is perfect also considering that I am on fixed income. When I started the service the technical support people were wonderful to me. – Chuck Paulsen
Tello is everything I need… nothing I don’t need.
Tello is the best thing to happen to seniors who have limited needs. Those of us on a limited income welcome companies like Tello.com who seem to understand that we rarely need all of the bells and whistles offered by its larger competitors and that merely increase the rate. Keep it up, Tello, we love you. – GKane
Tello is an amazing deal for my dad, who uses very little data but talks a lot on the phone! Other companies gouge you with paying unnecessary charges for services not needed. My day is 84 years young and his service with Tello fits perfectly with his limited income, and gives me the peace of mind that he’s getting excellent phone coverage and plan. Thanks! – Beth Sellers

At the moment, Apple Watches will not work with the Tello eSIM.
However, various other eSIM-compatible Smartwatches will work great with the Tello eSIM, for example, compatible Samsung Smartwatches.
Do you have a plan for tablets and possibly a calling plan for the tablet as well?
Do you offer wifi services for regular in home use like tvs and such
