TL;DR: Experience a different kind of cell service with a Tello Value Prepaid 6-Month Plan, including unlimited talk/text + 2GB LTE Data and $20 of store credit for just $49 as of Sept. 23 — that's a 41% discount.


Contrary to popular belief, there are more cell service providers than just Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Those are just the ones with the biggest national reach — and marketing budgets. But when you’re looking to switch providers because your bill is becoming unaffordable, you’ll want to check out lesser-known companies like Tello. It’s basically the best cell service provider you’ve never heard of — and for a limited time, you can score six months of unlimited talk/text, 2GB of LTE data, and more for the same price you’d usually pay for just one month.

If you’re worried about 2GB per month of data not being enough, no worries. If your allotted amount runs out before the end of the month, you automatically get unlimited 2G data until the next month begins. No annoying fees tacked on. In fact, because you’ll pay upfront for six months of service, you don’t have to worry about activation or early termination fees either. It’s a whole lot more affordable when you break free from contracts.

A Tello GSM SIM card is included for no extra cost. That means you can bring your current phone, slip in your new SIM, and activate your new network without purchasing a new device. 

Tello offers coast-to-coast wireless coverage on a top nationwide GSM network. Plus, you’ll get a free hotspot and international service. All plans include minutes to Mexico, China, and Canada at the same rate as your domestic calls.

After your six-month pre-paid period, you can choose whether you want to upgrade or downgrade your service to suit your needs. Sign up for six months of Tello for just $49 (regularly $84) for a limited time and finally break free of your annoying phone contract. You’ll even get a $20 credit added back to your account (within 10 days) to spend on anything you’d like.
