Description
Tello's Talk & Text plan runs on T-Mobile for coverage.
It costs $8 per month for 1 line.
It comes with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and No Data of high-speed data per month. There is no hotspot data.
Data is deprioritized, so speeds may slow during network congestion.
Taxes and fees are extra. Expect roughly $2.87 more per month, bringing your total to about $10.87.
Overall, I do not recommend the Tello Talk & Text plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
