Overview

SimpleTelly is a Smart DNS specialist operating since 2014, based in Estonia. No-frills $4/month Smart DNS with a big regional channel grid and a 14-day trial. Facts verified as of 2026-09-23.

Coverage & Unblocking

The total number of supported streaming services is not documented. Per-service status: Netflix: documented as working; BBC iPlayer: documented as working; ITVX: documented as working; Hulu: documented as working; Disney+: documented as working; Amazon Prime Video: documented as working; Max (HBO): documented as working; sports services (DAZN/ESPN/Sky): works with limitations. Large channel grid grouped by region (US/UK/FR/AU/other). Coverage claims are a snapshot: streaming services fight unblockers, and a service that works today can break tomorrow. Every streaming service still needs its own paid subscription - Smart DNS only changes which regional catalog you see.

Devices & Setup

Documented device support: Smart TVs, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, game consoles, routers, mobile devices, desktop browsers. Setup follows the usual Smart DNS pattern: you point the device or router at the provider DNS servers and register your current IP address in the provider dashboard, and the IP allowlist ties the service to your connection. One registered location at a time.

Speed & Reliability

Smart DNS adds no encryption overhead - video streams travel directly between you and the streaming service at full line speed, which is the technology's main advantage over a VPN. Our daily reachability check tracks the provider site; unblocking reliability itself varies week to week by design of the cat-and-mouse game.

Privacy & Logging

Logging policy: not documented; jurisdiction: Estonia. Be clear about what Smart DNS is: it does NOT encrypt your traffic and does NOT hide your IP address. If you need privacy on public Wi-Fi or want your traffic encrypted, use a VPN instead - our Smart DNS vs VPN guide helps you decide.

Pricing & Plans

Documented pricing: $4 per month. Free trial: 14 days, no credit card required - the honest way to test whether your services unblock before you pay. DNS-only positioning: 'just $4/month' after the trial.

Reputation & History

Sister service of TrickByte (same operator, Digiport OU, Estonia) with a DNS-only pitch. Noted concerns: []. Facts verified as of 2026-09-23.

Verdict

No-frills $4/month Smart DNS with a big regional channel grid and a 14-day trial. Test it against the services you actually watch before committing to a long plan - a free trial or the money-back window is the honest way to do that.

// SimpleTelly FAQ

Is SimpleTelly legit?

Based on our checks as of 2026-09-23: SimpleTelly scores 6.6/10 in our weighted review. We logged no red flags. User reports and operator background are documented with dated sources in the meta-review below.

Does SimpleTelly unblock Netflix?

Yes, documented as working. Netflix fights unblockers harder than anyone, so treat any coverage claim as a snapshot and re-test with the free trial before paying.

Is there a free trial?

Yes - 14 days, no credit card required.

Which devices are supported?

Documented support: Smart TVs, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, game consoles, routers, mobile devices, desktop browsers. Smart DNS runs at the DNS level, so any device whose DNS servers you can change is a candidate - routers cover a whole home at once.

Does Smart DNS slow down streaming?

No - Smart DNS only reroutes the DNS lookups used for geo-checks. The video stream itself travels directly between you and the streaming service at full line speed.

What does it log?

Not documented. Smart DNS does not encrypt traffic - your ISP still sees where you connect.

How much does it cost?

Documented pricing: $4 per month.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

None documented.

// The meta-review: what the internet says about SimpleTelly

We do not expect you to trust us. This review is a meta-review: below you see what other review sites claim, what users report on Reddit, forums and complaint boards, and who actually operates SimpleTelly. Every claim links to its source so you can verify it yourself. Our verdict forms from these sources plus our own fact checks - not the other way around.

// What other reviewers say (0)

Heads-up: most Smart DNS "reviews" are affiliate content. We mark our reliability judgement on every source and include critical voices deliberately.

No third-party reviews with usable evidence found yet. In this niche that is itself a signal - most "review" sites are paid placements.

// What users say (0)

Reddit, forums, complaint boards. Anecdotes, not proof - but patterns across threads are the best early-warning system this market has.

Generated by Qwen3 on 2026-09-23 from our fact database plus the 1 linked sources above. It summarizes - it does not add facts. Check anything that matters against the linked sources.

Bottom line: SimpleTelly is an active Smart DNS provider since 2014, priced at $4/month with a 14-day free trial that doesn’t require a credit card. It offers DNS-only unblocking for major streaming platforms but lacks a money-back guarantee and VPN integration. No major red flags, but limited transparency on privacy and support.

The coverage truth: It unblocks Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and ITVX across a regional channel grid (US, UK, FR, AU, others). Sports coverage is partial, with no details on specific events or reliability. No evidence of consistent failure or widespread blocking issues as of 2026.

Setup reality: Works on Smart TVs, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, consoles, routers, mobile, and desktop without dedicated apps. Requires manual DNS configuration and supports IP registration for dynamic DNS users. No app means setup is DIY, but broad device compatibility helps.

What reviewers say vs what users say: No independent reviewer scores or user complaints were found, so there’s no conflict to report. The provider’s own claims go unchallenged but also unverified by third parties. Its association with TrickByte suggests operational legitimacy, but user sentiment is absent.

Who runs it: Operated by Digiport OU, an Estonian company that also runs TrickByte. No other brands or corporate details are public. Jurisdiction is Estonia, with unknown logging practices.
