The Cancellation Friction Index

Documented-Policy tier only. This score rates how clearly Tello's public cancellation page is published (cited, dated) — opinion grounded in disclosed facts, not a finding about the real cancel experience, and not legal advice. The behavioural Verified-Flow grade is pending.

How hard is it to cancel Tello?

Tello scores 98/100 (grade A) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — among the most clearly documented cancellation policies we've scored. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve).

Last reviewed 2026-06-16 · Documented-Policy tier · grade A

Tello is a no-contract prepaid MVNO with no early-termination fee. Customers must self-cancel online from the account Dashboard ('Cancel Plan' under 'My Plan') because support cannot cancel on a customer's behalf; cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal to stop autopay. Service stays active until the end of the current cycle or completion of port-out. To keep the number, retrieve the account number and port-out PIN from the in-account 'Number Transfer' page; once the port completes, any remaining balance, PAYG credit, or Tello Dollars are forfeited and non-refundable.

How to cancel Tello

  • Channels: online (self-serve)
  • Official cancellation page: https://tello.com/help_center/account-payments/how-can-i-cancel-my-service
  • Pause/freeze: not offered. No formal pause/suspend feature. As a no-contract prepaid MVNO, customers stop autopay or cancel the plan; switching to a cheaper or PAYG plan is the closest equivalent.
  • Refund policy: https://tello.com/terms
  • Account/data deletion: Data deletion / account-data requests are handled under Tello's privacy policy; not addressed in the cancellation flow. https://tello.com/privacy

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
