While major service providers like AT&T and Verizon are hiking the prices on cellphone service, some MVNOS, including Tello Mobile, are making their plans more affordable.
Tello Mobile offers four different pre-built, prepaid phone plans that offer from 1GB to 25GB of high-speed data. In addition to the pre-built plans, Tello Mobile lets customers build their own plans by mixing and matching different amounts of data with minutes.
Recently, Tello Mobile announced improved data plans along with price drops for plans that cost $19 or more per month. Fortunately, the new prices will be available to new and existing customers. So if you’re already with Tello Mobile, you can expect a lower bill soon.
The first plan is actually a pre-built plan from Tello called “Smart.” While the price didn’t change for this plan, Tello has added an additional 1GB of high-speed data, bringing the total amount of high-speed data to 5GB for $19 monthly.
The second plan is a custom plan that’s well-suited for people who need more than 5GB but not quite 25GB. Previously, it cost $24 per month for 6GB of data, but now customers can enjoy 10GB for the same price.
Finally, Tello’s unlimited plan, which includes 25GB of high-speed data before reduced speeds, went down in price by $10 per month. If you’re looking for an unlimited cellphone plan, $29 per month is a great price.
If you aren’t familiar with Tello Mobile, it’s a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that operates on T-mobile’s network.
At Clark.com, we have found Tello Mobile to have the cheapest overall monthly cellphone plan. The Economy plan, which includes 1GB of high-speed data plus unlimited texting and minutes, costs just $10 per month. While this price hasn’t changed, it’s still the cheapest monthly phone plan available.
