You are on the right track!
The personal touch was great since I was having porting issues. It took a while to resolve but the temporary (and refunded) phone # helped bridge that gap. My workgroup (IT) had a "fireside chat" with a professor/researcher/author who had a lot to say about internet addictions....your company is on the right track....keep forging ahead!

Conversations like yours are exactly why we do what we do – to foster focus, freedom, and meaningful connections. We genuinely appreciate your encouragement and support as we continue to push this mission forward!
Rude and unhelpful customer service, charged for site error
For context, wisephone purchasers can pay either through the techless website or the shop app. When I was trying to buy a wisephone, I originally tried to buy through the shop app. However, I received a message that the app could not accept my credit card. The screen did not advance to a confirmation page.
So, I instead paid through techless and received a confirmation that payment had gone through.
A week or so later, I received two wisephones. When I checked my credit card bill, I saw that I had been charged twice: once through the shop app and once through techless, despite only reaching one confirmation page.
I contacted techless and told them about the glitch. They told me I would still have to pay shipping and restocking fees. I finally managed to get a hold of a manager, who told me he would investigate the issue and that I could return without paying shipping and restocking fees.
That should have been the end of the issue, but a few days later another manager (Robert) called. He was exceedingly rude, frequently interrupting me and informing me that I was clearly at fault. As I work at a tech company, I'm quite technologically competent and recognize a technological error when I see one. However, Robert insisted that it didn't matter that there was only one confirmation page or that I had received a message that my payment couldn't go through--the issue was clearly my fault. Now I'm being told that I'm only going to get a partial refund, despite the first manager's assertion that I would get a full refund. This company seems to care very little about customers or their experience, despite their assertion that they are trying to protect customers.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Heather. We’re very sorry for the confusion and frustration caused by the mix-up during your return process.
After reviewing the situation, we see that your initial conversation with Zazi was handled correctly - the restocking fee was to be waived, and we are honoring that commitment. A subsequent conversation with another manager, Robert, occurred before the tickets were fully merged, and he wasn’t yet aware of Zazi’s arrangement. We regret that this created the impression of inconsistent guidance and caused any stress.
We want to emphasize that the full refund for your second order is being processed as originally promised. To show our appreciation for your patience and understanding, we also offered a complimentary month of WiseOS subscription.
We value your support of Wisephone and are taking steps to improve our internal communication so that future customers don’t experience the same confusion. Your feedback helps us ensure that we continue learning and improving.
Thank you again for your patience and for being part of the Wisephone community.

Jay and Zazi rock
Jay and Zazi were incredibly helpful and timely in their responses. I upgraded from Wisephone 1 about a year ago and recently was trying to get set up with the 12 month promo subscription. I couldn't get it to work and thought I was having some technical trouble which it wasn't solved over email. Zazi called me, patiently walked me through all the steps, and we realized that the promo had been automatically added to my account on their end. Great service, very professional and kind.

Incredible Service with Zazi
Multiple contacts with support specialist Zazi.
Amazing level of patience and compassion towards me and my son. Assisted me in creating portal synchs allowing me, the father, better access to my son's system.
I am a surgeon who as extensively researched the neuroscience addiction of our society.
Techless/Wisephone is a Godsend, rescuer, Guardian Angel of my relationship with God, my wife and children.
Thank you so much.
Please reach out to me about an introduction to Hillsdale College and Patrick Henery College. They are perfectly aligned with your mission. I dream that a partnership can be created where all Hillsdale and Patrick Henery incoming students trade in their iPhones for Wisephones as a requirement of attending.

We’re sincerely grateful for your kind words and your generous offer to connect us with Hillsdale and Patrick Henry College. Our partnerships team will be reaching out soon. What a beautiful vision to imagine together!
AMAZING customer service
AMAZING customer service! And I didn’t end up buying the product! I wanted a second phone for either work or personal use. Unfortunately, neither the primary app i use for work nor the primary app I use for pleasure is supported. I didn’t realize that when I bought it. So, before it was shipped, I attempted to cancel my order, figuring it would be a fight. No! They were so attentive, quick, and considerate. I’m a huge believer in their company, and will likely be a customer for real in the future.

While Wisephone doesn’t support every app, we deeply appreciate your openness to our mission and your kind words about our service. We’ll be here whenever the timing is right, and we’d love to welcome you to the Wisephone community in the future!
Terrible company that wants to eek…
Terrible company that wants to eek every ounce of money out of its customers for the least amount of work. It's not just the subscription. It's the persistant "Setup" ad at the top of the home screen if you choose to not subscribe, the most strict return policy I've ever seen, and the absolute lack of control the user has over their own phone's settings. That's the real secret--you never truly own the phone.

Antwoord van Techless
We are really sorry to hear about your frustration. Wisephone is designed to work in conjunction with a WiseOS subscription, which is why the setup button remains visible when a subscription has not been activated. The subscription covers ongoing software development, security updates, and support, ensuring the phone remains distraction-free, safe, and simple over time.
The setup reminder is not an ad but a prompt to complete activation, and we’ll take your feedback into account on how it comes across. As for returns, our policy is in line with industry standards, and in many cases, other companies have stricter conditions and higher restocking fees. That said, we always aim to be transparent from the start and will continue looking for ways to make the process feel smoother.
Our heart is never to nickel and dime but to create tools that give people back time, focus, and peace. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. They truly help us keep improving.

We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration you experienced, Jason! Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll be reviewing Wisebot to improve it and ensure smoother support in the future. Support has been extremely busy this week, which may explain the difficulty reaching us. It’s also possible that you called during our lunch break, when lines are briefly down. We noticed that our team was able to respond to you promptly. Please don’t hesitate to reach out again if there’s anything else we can assist you with. We’re here to help!

Please do yourself a favor and do not…
Please do yourself a favor and do not buy a phone from them. It has been one issue after another with this. The customer service at first seemed pretty good with quick response times, but has since gone pretty quiet. Also, I had service with Verizon for over 25 years and I have had to contact the customer service of Techless more times in just a month since switching over.
The idea is great but the phone does not consistently send photos (if it does it takes over a minute to send), the map did not work when away from Wi-fi (whats the use?), and if you get a notification you have to close the phone out otherwise the screen is just stuck on a white screen that you cannot navigate away from.
UPDATE: customer service called to let me know that the background apps apparently had used all my data. I figured that 1 gb would be plenty of data for using the map and listening to music on Spotify.
I am going to give it another month and if I run out of data again I will switch to Mint. I won't be able to use the map so I guess I'll do what my parents did and ask the gas station attendant for directions. I don't feel like the service is worth $25/month.

We’re so sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced, and especially for the delayed follow-up on your most recent ticket. After investigating, our team was able to confirm that the main issue you reported was related to a data overage rather than the phone itself. Once data is topped up in your dashboard, sending photos and navigating with maps should work as expected.
As for the blank screen bug after unlocking, thank you for pointing that out. It’s a tricky one that lives deep in the system, but it’s on our list to resolve. In the meantime, putting the screen to sleep and waking it again will get you moving without needing to restart.
We really appreciate your patience and your honest feedback. Every report helps us improve and move closer to the smooth, reliable experience you—and every customer—deserve. 💙
Update: Thank you for your honest feedback; it really helps us improve. Wisephone works a bit differently than other devices, so it’s crucial to fully back out of apps when you’re finished. You can also use Device Care → Optimize Now to close background apps and prevent them from using extra data. Additionally, you can set limits under the Data Settings section.
We want to assure you that our team has been fully committed to supporting you and has even extended an additional 1GB top-up as a courtesy, which we hope will help enhance your experience. Although we understand it hasn’t been accepted yet, we appreciate your consideration. While managing your own data usage is essential, please know that we never impose surprise overage fees and always provide options to increase your data limit as needed. Our goal is to make your Wisephone experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible, and we sincerely hope this gesture contributes to that!

I absolutely love the concept
I absolutely love the concept and my three weeks with this phone was very refreshing, I spent maybe twenty minutes a day on it and was able to spend more time with my family and away from meaningless distractions. However, I had continuous problems with not receiving texts and calls. There were several times I would see someone in person and they would be frustrated with me because I hadn’t returned any of their texts or responded to their calls, only for me to explain that I had not received any of them. I reached out to tech support and they told me to use a different messing system. Which did allow for me to receive group texts again, but ultimately did not fix the issue. If they can fix this problem I would happily go back.

Thank you for sharing your honest experience with us. We know how frustrating it must have been to miss important calls and texts, especially when you’re trying to stay more connected in the ways that matter most. Reports of similar issues with messaging occasionally arise, particularly before switching to Google Messages with RCS enabled. In many cases, this is related to the network rather than the device itself—particularly if you recently switched from an iPhone and deregistered from iMessage. Sometimes, it just takes a little time for the network to catch up fully, and a network reset can also be helpful.
We’d love to walk you through a few more troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue. Please don’t hesitate to reach back out to our support team—we’re here to help and want to ensure you have the smooth experience you were hoping for.
The phone stopped working
The phone stopped working. Unable to call or text. We have had nothing but problems. My husband and I have the same phone plan and my phone works no problem. His will not get service randomly and people think he changed his phone number. His old phone never had this problem. And to had to pay extra on top of the phone service. We opted to not use the wisphone charge since the only app he used was Spotify and that is a monthly fee. The phone isn’t working at all now. Cannnot turn it off or on or get calls. Never been dropped. Well taken care of. We have been disappointed from the get go. Now getting a phone from Verizon.
