Tello
Value Carrier (MVNO)Overview
Tello is an ultra-budget MVNO on T-Mobile's network that lets you build your own plan down to the megabyte. Plans start at just $5/mo. It's perfect for very light users or as a secondary line. The customization is excellent but the service is bare-bones. No physical stores, limited support, but the price can't be beat for light usage.
