Tello Mobile, a U.S.-based wireless provider known for its no-contract, low-cost mobile plans, is marking its 9th anniversary with a major update to its international roaming service. The company has reduced global roaming rates by up to five times, offering significantly cheaper voice, text, and data options for travelers.

Operating on the T-Mobile network, Tello has earned a reputation among budget-conscious users for its customizable plans and transparent pricing. This latest change responds to growing demand for affordable connectivity abroad, making it easier for customers to stay connected without high roaming fees.

As part of this major pricing overhaul, Tello users can now enjoy the following lowered rates when traveling internationally:

• Voice: 5¢/minute (previously 25¢/minute)
• Text: 1¢/SMS (previously 5¢/SMS)
• Data: 1¢/MB (previously 5¢/MB)

The company originally launched Tello International Roaming to provide peace of mind and reliable service to travelers worldwide. This latest pricing shift reinforces Tello’s mission to be a trustworthy telecom partner, no matter where customers go.

The new rates are permanent and apply to nearly all global destinations. With this update, travelers can call from Paris, message from Tokyo, or stream content from Spain—all at a fraction of the previous cost. Tello emphasizes that the reduced pricing allows users to redirect their travel budgets toward experiences and souvenirs, like local treats or even a pricey airport coffee.

How to Use Tello International Roaming:

• Ensure a minimum of $5 credit is available in the Pay As You Go (PAYG) Balance.
• Credit can be used not only for roaming abroad but also for domestic services and international calls from the U.S.
• PAYG credit remains valid for 90 days from the date of purchase if not supplemented by other active plans.

Importantly, no other features or policies are changing—just the pricing. Tello has confirmed that the new roaming rates are here to stay, aiming to offer travelers a smoother, more cost-effective experience.

Whether the journey is for business, leisure, or family, Tello’s revamped international roaming is designed to keep users connected—without breaking the bank.
