TEL3 Current Status and History
TEL3 no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.
TEL3 was a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based telecommunications brand associated with prepaid and low-cost long-distance calling services. Public telecom records from the late 1990s identify NeTeL, Inc. as doing business under the TEL3 name from 6300 Northeast First Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. The company’s business was telecommunications, not nutritional, personal-care, or household products.
The TEL3 service centered on prepaid international calling, pinless calling, access numbers, online account management, mobile apps, recharge coupons, mobile top-up, and low-cost calling to countries outside the United States. The current TEL3 website continues to market prepaid international calls, including calls from mobile devices, with no monthly fee, rewards on customer spending, and free-minute credits for customer referrals.
TEL3 had older references to representatives or an agent-style sales program, but the current public-facing business is a consumer telecommunications service rather than an active MLM opportunity. Its current referral and rewards features are customer incentives, not a documented multilevel compensation plan. The company should be listed as a telecommunications brand with past direct-sales or agent-program references, not as a currently active network-marketing company.
TEL3 remains online, but its corporate history has changed over time. The current website states that services are provided by PhonetimeUS Inc.; Florida corporate records show Phonetime US Inc. as inactive following a voluntary dissolution in 2020, while Phonetime Inc. remains active as a separate foreign profit corporation.
