    In short, I signed up for Tello Mobile's unlimited talk/text and data plan - with 35 GB of high-speed data then unlimited at a lower speed. I activated the account yesterday and today I checked my account to see how much data I used - and discovered I only have 100 minutes of talk time per month - which is not what I signed up for. It's odd, if you go to the Tello site, and pick one of their plans, their unlimited plan you can select 100 minutes of talk, 200 minutes and some other options before you get to unlimited talk. ************* text and data remain the same. There is only one reason to do this: try to get people to buy a plan with fewer talk minutes by mistake only to discovered they have to pay more for more talk time. Yes, I can switch the plan at the end of this month - but this kind of bait-and-switch went ouf with carnival barkers. And it's a shame a large corporaton like Tello engages in such tactics.

    It was the most frustrating cell phone company I have ever had. I requested a refund because I switched to a different cell provider. They granted me the refund gave me the refund. It was processed and put in my account. I went to use my credit card. and guess what? It was declined because Tello was taking another payment out. I got really frustrated. Talk to three or four people and they all said something different. I sent them screenshots of my account. I sent them screenshots of my chat history with them. they dont understand it. If I could give it zero stars I would! The staff was very disrespectful treating me like I was stupid even though I have all the actual evidence. I changed to a different cell phone company and boom just like that. Everything works like a pro. Dont waste your time or your money on Tello. Its not even worth the $14.27 a month. Dont go here find something different.!
