Overall, it works just as well as my smartphone with a major carrier. Not having wifi calling/texting has caused some difficulties.

Good Service but Needs Upgrades We love that Techless allows us to give our kids the benefits of communication without the drawbacks of the internet in their pocket. However, the instructions for set up and trouble shooting should be clearer and easier to find. I feel like I have to go on a treasure hunt every time I need help!

I think this company is awesome. Their values align well with my own. I've wanted a solution to the problem of living in this world without a smartphone when it's expected by society that you have one. Our whole world runs on the expectation that you have a phone! I tried going to a dumbphone twice but not having maps was a big problem for me. I contemplated the Wisephone for about a year before I finally pulled the plug, and I'm so glad I did! Honestly, the main screen is BORING. Which is exactly what we need to curb the addiction!! It's easy for me to forget that my phone is even nearby. My only complaints have to do with the phone itself. Coming from 10 years of an iPhone, I just can't seem to get used to the Samsung. The texting feels clunky. But I will also admit that I have to learn the phone and that will take time. I'm a SAHM with 4 kids and they were my reason for switching away from the pull of a smartphone; I want to be present with them!

3.5 out of 5 I love the new Wisephone II! I have been using Wisephone I for two years and I super appreciate the new ability to use apps that have been vetted. My only hang up was that Techless removed the portal from WisephoneI and was therefore told that I have to import all my contacts by hand. Other than that- keep it up Techless!

I love my new Wisephone II. It provides everything I need in a minimalist phone without the distractions. No doomscrolling or hours lost to games with this device. There were a few challenges with setup, but the techless team is responsive and we were able to set up my phone relatively quickly. If you are transferring from Tracfone, just get a new phone number. Tracfone's system does not port well to Techless.

Updated review. I have had the phone set up for about a week. I had trouble setting up the phone and the subscription (keeping my old carrier), however, the support team is very helpful and responsive. I'm very happy with the functionality of the phone. I am recommending it to family and ultimately happy with my purchase.

The transition is a bit rocky. I will say the phone is secure, has opened up more time and is helping me focus on my goals. By transition I mean this- Some apps like Venmo for instance froze up. I tried deleting it and reinstalling to see if I could get access. This happened to work. Its minor. Otherwise its just as good as a 5 star review from me.

Let me just start off by saying that Techless is a great company! From their mission to their customer support, they are intentional, thoughtful, and care about their customers. I bought the Wisephone 1 in 2022 when I needed to decrease my screen time, phone notification anxiety, and addiction to always being on it, and I can definitely say it has exceeded those expectations! I'm not distracted by phone, I no longer feel that phantom "buzz" in my pocket of a possible notification, and my focus on other things has increased 10 fold without needing to scroll on social media or play games when I "have" the time. So why 4 stars instead of 5? Well, just like any newer company, they are continuing to build great tools that align with their mission and values, but at times run into bugs and errors. I have had to get used to the fact that a Wisephone is not an iPhone, what I used to have, meaning its not nearly as smooth functioning with everything we expect a smart phone to have. However, the most basic needs of a phone are met exceedingly well and they continue to improve monthly and add new tools to enhance their users experience. For example, they make this phone feel like a Smart phone with its style and overall functions, but without all the notifications and anxiety that a typical smart phone has. A few examples of the minor differences from an iPhone is that the screen refresh is not as smooth, button clicks are a little more picky about where you tap your finger, and accepting calls while already being on the line can sometimes drop both calls (I'm told they are working on this). Despite these differences in performance from what we consider to be normal to Smart Phones, I have kept my Wise Phone because it still delivers on that number one goal of reducing my phone time and anxieties and increasing my focus and productivity ten fold. As Wisephone continues developing, they continue to release app updates almost monthly and OS updates regularly which has allowed me to appreciate their focus on improving quality. In addition to quality, they have exceptional customer support! For example, I recently had a more serious, and unique bug on my phone - which was the first in 2 years - where my contact names and messages didn't sync correctly. The support team worked around the clock, updating me by the hour at times on what they were doing to fix the problem. I felt supported, valued, and communicated with as they followed up, and in the end the bug was fixed. I hope this detailed review can give you the confidence you need to know that investing in Techless is worth your time and more than worth the sacrifice it may take to do away with the conveniences we are all used to with the normal Smart Phones of today. I for one appreciate getting back the basics of what a phone should be.
