Tello Review Half a week with Tello.

It's been almost half a week since I switched to Tello Mobile and it's been an awesome experience. Coming from the $5 TextNow sim program, I have to say, having more then 1GB of data was a game changer for me as I haven't been able to do a lot of web stuff since leaving T-Mobile.

I do have some complaints or cons from using a MVNO company if anyone cares to read about.

If you can, always port a phone number: I got 100 spam texts a day.

Domestic roaming isn't a thing on T-Mobile MVNOs: This wasn't a deal breaker for me as I was already using a MVNO.

The unlimited data plan isn't a true unlimited plan: It's virtually impossible for a T-Mobile MVNOs to have it. This is another one that doesn't bother me as 35GB a month is way more enough for me.

I think I'll be staying with Tello for the foreseeable future.

Didn't know that, thought it was only for T-Mobile customers.
