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.

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

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

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

  • 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.

Can I buy it with a new number and transfer my number a few days later?
I am waiting for my TW iPhone to be unlocked in 8 days and I cannot transfer my number before.

Yes, that is a quirk of Tello. They always assign a new number, then you can port in after activation, at any time. If you purchase an eSIM, the first month of service will activate right away. If you purchase a physical SIM, you can delay activation up to 30 days.

I usually like to pick the cheapy special Tello $8 plan, so I can port out the next day into the US Mobile new member plan. Rinse and repeat every year to take advantage of new subscriber promos
To port out the next day, why not get the cheapest $5 vs $8 plan ? Rinse and repeat, what's considered new subscriber if you were to use the same name, address, and possibly credit card?

No, unfortunately manual renewal will void the promotion AND the unlimited plan is excluded from rollover. But if you downgrade after the six months, you can start rolling at that time.

From the Help Center:
Any unused minutes or data will be lost after 30 days, when your plan is automatically renewed.
Once your plan is renewed automatically, your plan starts again with the fixed monthly allowance of minutes & data.

There is one exception:
Unused service WILL roll over ONLY if you manually renew or change your plan at least 24 hours before the end of your current billing cycle and ONLY if the new plan contains all the services that you previously had.
For example, the minutes & data of your current plan will roll over if the new plan has minutes & data.
However, if you decide to buy data only, the minutes will not roll over.

Also note that if the autopay renewal fails because your payment method could not be charged or because you forgot to set up the 48-hour notification, then no balance will be rolled over and those balances are not refundable.

Manually changing or renewing a plan can only be done by customers from their online accounts.
Our Customer Support team will not add back balances to your account if you forgot to manually renew/change your plan or the 48-hour notification failed or your billing failed.

Early renewal and changing of your plan may also void any promotion or plan discount that you initially started with.

*Rollover does not apply for the Unlimited plans.
For example, you have 49GB remaining & you downgrade to $6 1GB/100 min/unlimited text plan, would you begin the new plan with 49GB & 100 min/unlimited text?

No, because the unlimited plan doesn't roll over. But every other plan will. So after the promotion ends, if you want to start with the maximum of data, you could do the $22 plan which is 15GB and 300 minutes for month 7, then drop to the $6 plan the following month and whatever you did not use of the 15GB will roll.

I think the only way is to port your number out then port back in.

I have an iPhone 14, so I use an eSIM, does the time start counting from delivery or when I charge eSim in phone?

Yes I just noticed the spinning too ... though it looks like it happens when you select a physical SIM card with any USPS delivery
