Tello

Tello is a US MVNO on Verizon's network offering eSIM with a 10GB hotspot allowance built into unlimited plans. Beyond 10GB, hotspot slows to 2G speeds while your phone's regular data stays at full 4G/5G, so you can still send messages and browse slowly if needed. Their app lets you monitor hotspot usage separately, and you can add extra hotspot if you need it mid-month.

Tello suits US travelers and domestic users who need hotspot regularly but don't rely on high-speed tethering for video streaming. The 10GB allowance covers light to moderate personal hotspot use like email, navigation, and messaging on the go. Compared to Verizon directly, Tello costs significantly less while using the same network, making it a practical choice for price-conscious Americans who want solid coverage without paying premium rates.
