Good service, bad billing practices.
Good service, bad billing practices. I've had Tello for 3 lines for a couple of years now. Every month, the bill increases several cents and the due date moves earlier, so every month is less than a month and costs more. Seems very shady to me.

Add Feature to Website for Plan Change Upon Renewal
Tello provide a wonderful cellular service and has a superb website, although there is one shortcoming that should be addressed by the company. For those customers that wish to change their plan they must wait until the day before the plan expires so they don’t lose prepaid value ($$). It would be much better if the website provided a feature that allowed the user to change the plan at any time but have the option of making the change effective on the next monthly renewal date. Other MVNO’s have that feature in their website customer interface. For Tello to continue to lead the industry it would be wise to add that feature as well. Tello please share this recommendation with your leadership. Thanks in advance for considering my feedback.
Worldwide use where wi-fi available
The best feature of Tello, apart from unlimited call and text, is that you can use it without additional charge anywhere outside USA where a wi-fi connection is available.

Dani is Tello's customer service gem!
A young woman named Dani was my customer service rep. She went over and above to help me with repeated phone calls until I had service and a new phone.
Dani said she'd call back and she always did! I tried signing with another company before learning of Tello, and a guy said he'd call back and that call never came. That's usually the norm.
So far, if Dani's extreme patience and professionalism are any indication, everything I read about Tello's customer service being exemplary, are true.
