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.
