How to save money on your phone bill
Are you overpaying on your phone bill?
According to a study carried out by ConsumerReports, the minimum amount an average cellphone user can pay by using one of the 4 big phone carriers on the market (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint) is $40/month. This easily translates into minimum $480/year just for you… not to mention your family.
Cut down on extra costs
One option would be to cut back on all the extra costs and services you don’t actually use. If you’re only using minutes & texts, then you definitely don’t want to pay for 1GB extra… that you signed up for “just in case”.
Go WiFi whenever possible
There are millions of cafes, libraries, and public places with free WiFi. Take advantage of them and set your mobile data OFF by default. This way you’ll actually get used to searching for public networks instead of automatically playing a YouTube video from your 3G/4G data allowance.
Get the right plan… for YOU.
You and only you can know what plan fits you best. And you’re the only one who can build a plan with everything that you need… nothing less and nothing more. So, build your own plan with the exact amount of data, minute & calls you need.
Here are a few examples on how you can mix minutes, texts & data:
And the list can go on. Mix it up as you like!

You’ll have the pay the phone up front, and then continue with the monthly plan. The good news is there is no contract and you can change your plan anytime you want.

Please info where can I buy Tello. So far I can not find a store. Btw I need assistance with the phone because it is bought from Europe and I am not so sure that it is compatible. I check on your web and it says that it is not ????
Hello,
Our service can only be found online, on our website. If you checked your phone compatibility on the Bring your own phone page and it turned out that your phone is not compatible with Tello, unfortunately there is nothing that we can do. Maybe you can try enrolling a different device.
Thank you!
Can I get second or third line on my plan for other family members at what rate plzzz.
Hello Paul,
At Tello, you can only have one line per account, so if you want to have more than one, you can open a different account for each of the members of your family, totally free of charge, no extra cost added.
This way, you can all enjoy the affordable Tello rates & you can customize the cell phone plans to every person’s calling needs.
Thanks!
