GBThe service was fine, the phone,not so. The service was fine, but the flip phone was not only old (I expected that) it was crude and not intuitive. too many steps to input a new contact, for example. Couldn't figure out how to set an alarm , and more such issues. I've rented such phones elsewhere in previous years, and the software was much better.

GBMy experience I found that the wifi device option is not really practical as the power is drained very quickly when it's used in the manner of piggy backing off your existing phone. I would recommend either renting an actual separate phone or a sim card for an unclocked phone.

GBGreat Service I have used Amigo phones two or three times in the last few years. The customer service reps have always been helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The service is great in that we are given a US number (free calls) and an Israeli number (free for the traveler making in country calls). I haven't shopped the prices but I believe they are quite reasonable. The SIM card arrived in time for the trip. During my son's trip last month, he was blocked for some reason from using the phone and could not communicate except for What's App. I called customer service in Atlanta and they identified the problem and within minutes the phone was working. Great job!!

GBTotal disaster I ordered phone from AmigoUS for my wife for her trip to Israel based on good experience my daughter had for similar circumstances. This time around it was real disaster from the very start. Phone I got was epic old in any dimension and had “bug” in it. So, it took real afford to figure it out and reprogram it. It seemed working but to check it you need to be in place/Israel and over there it (phone) was DEAD on arrival for reason I would never know (battery or charger or … who cares now). I contacted customer service and was surprised how nice and willing to help was person I spoke with but with all his efforts it did not work out. I would never again use this phone rental service and would not recommend it to anyone.

GBWe rented Amigo cell phones because we … We rented Amigo cell phones because we did not want to risk losing our phones. Amigo phones worked like a charm. We inputted the guide's number along with the hotel's and friends and relatives. Returning them via the supplied box was a snap. Already recommended Amigo to a few people.
