Seems like a pretty good deal. I liked Tello when I tried them, but that was back in the Sprint coverage days I think. They are T-Mobile coverage now, but a top benefit was their support quality iirc. Generally positive experience from me.

Yes, I agree. While there have been posts on SD lately complaining about customer service, all of my interactions with support have been great. I contacted them two weeks ago because I redeemed $20 in Tello dollars to a paygo balance last January, then they changed the referral program to make earning more difficult for the referrer. I complained that I never would have redeemed that much knowing about the plan changes and asked them to convert part of the balance back to Tello dollars. They responded within hours with a full refund of the order from almost a year prior and restored the $20 in Tello dollars, even though I had used about $3 of it. Since our line is on a $5/month plan, that will give me another four months of service!

Are you serious? How would it benefit me to lie about my customer service experience? Email attached.

Tello's unlimited talk, text, and 50GB promo stands out as a low-cost month-to-month plan on T-Mobile towers, with solid coverage, simple account management, and free eSIM or a physical SIM that can wait 30 days to activate. The deal also has minimal taxes and fees in some zip codes, free international calling to 60 countries, and easy plan changes or porting. The main cautions are that unlimited plans do not roll over, manual renewal can void the promotion, and some accounts have seen 5G, call, or port-out hiccups. It is a flexible prepaid option if you want cheap service without a long contract.

  • Taxes and fees can be low and vary by zip code, with some examples showing under a dollar for monthly charges.

  • Tello can provide immediate eSIM activation while physical SIM activation can be delayed up to 30 days for extra planning time.

    lipagoldMtF4392MtF4392MtF4392

  • Tello can offer rollover for minutes and data on non-unlimited plans when renewing in advance, and it can reinstate lost allowances after data or minutes drop.

    RefundroidMtF4392MtF4392

  • Tello support can resolve account issues quickly, including restoring Tello Dollars and issuing a full refund after plan or redemption changes.

    MtF4392

  • Unlimited plans do not roll over unused data, and manual renewal or plan changes can void promotions and affect rollover eligibility.

    MtF4392MtF4392MtF4392

  • Port-out information for new numbers can be delayed by about nine days, which can complicate quick number transfers.

    MtF4392MtF4392MtF4392

  • 5G upgrade and service issues can cause no-service periods, and cancellation may require extended troubleshooting before the account can be closed.

  • After primary data runs out, low-speed data removal can break group texting and other basic connectivity features.

Mind sharing details about the black Friday special: the discount was "forever" or just for N number or months? (If it was by months, any chance you remember for how many?)

Making notes about suppliers for when I need it in the future
Thanks!
It was 12 months. https://slickdeals.net/f/18894043-15-month-for-12-months-tello-unlimited-plan?
Before and after that special, there were 3 month offers at $15. I believe this is the first time unlimited has been $10.

Is $60 total for 6 months? Are there any other fees/ taxes? Thanks
You pay monthly and taxes/fees are based on your zip code. For me, it only adds 34 cents, but somebody earlier in the thread said their fees were over $1.

I've used them for so many years that I can't remember when I started. Works fine and I only need their $10 per month plan. I'm not a phone zombie.

Tello's online account management is simple and just works. That alone is well worth it. T-Mobile's network is also way faster in the areas I frequent. I went to the eye doctor and Verizon's LTE was down to 0.50mb/down so video was buffering.

The $10/month promotion ends tomorrow. And don't forget to use a referral code when creating an account to get $10 Tello Dollars to use after the six-month promotion ends.

Yes, this ONLY works during new account creation below password there is referral code that needs be clicked to show, very easy to miss.

At check out, there is only coupon code can be entered, no more place for referral code.

Yes, if you request a physical SIM card, you will have 30 days to activate. If you select eSIM, it will activate right away, so even if you eventually want eSIM, start with physical to buy the extra time. And no, they don't have family plans.
