Functionally, so-so / Concept, wonderful! Functionally, the Wisephone can be glitchy at times and I wish there we more options as far as settings on the phone (i.e. I wish I could have sound on for notifications, but turn off sound for navigating within the phone--right now its all or nothing for sound). A couple other things are that the keyboard calabor isn't nearly as precise as the iPhone and I find myself making alot more typos. The main issue I have though is the size. I really wish this phone was smaller (like some of the older iPhones). I prefer the flip phone in that it's smaller (I forget about it more, which I want, plus it can fit in any pocket). As far as the Wisephone concept goes, The Wisephone is a wonderful tool that's helped me live more freely. One of the first things I noticed after making the switch was that I did more purposeful activities to fill my day. I'm finding myself taking the time to prepare and cook yummy meals from scratch most days, reading more books in the last year than I have since I was a kid, spending my bits of down time tidying the house or taking a real breather rather than scrolling my phone. It's been wonderful slowing down and simplifying my life--it's crazy how big a difference not having a smart-phone makes! Thank you Techless!

Back to the Basics with Exceptional Customer Support 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.

Want freedom from the Technocracy? This is a path This phone was my lifeline away from tech prison. I spent most of my life trying to escape through different means and methods but i would always have the escape of tv and then the smart phone youtube bing watching and other very inappropriate and sinful things. Finding this companay/phone allowed me to fully detox from that almost lifelong habit and walk out of that bing watching/distraction prision. I am 41 and would encourage anyone that is addicted to their phones to get rid of them and get a phone like this. your life is too important and fragile to waste it glued to a screen watching the world go by and engaging in all sorts of destructive things.

Wisephone and techless customer service. I bought a Wisephone from Techless. I received the phone with no issues. It's a good phone that meets a specific and tailored need that I had. I like the phone. I'm happy with the phone. It is a nice looking phone. The phone is a Motorola E 2020 with Wise OS installed. The Wisephone is a minimalist smartphone that looks and feels like a smartphone but is meant only for talking and texting and doesn't have a browser or install apps from Google Play or any other play store. Why would I want a smartphone that doesn't have a browser or use apps? Because i'm trying to live more of a distracted free life free of social media and spending all day every day messing around on my phone with apps. Like many people I've gotten into the habit of constantly checking my various social media apps for notifications and constantly checking my emails for notifications and spending too much time on Youtube. This is one of the few smartphones that makes it easy to quit all of that stuff. The Wise OS operating system that is installed on the Wisephone is a very nice looking elegant minimalist operating system. I researched minimalist smartphones and the Wisephone is the best looking minimalist smartphone that I can find online that is sold anywhere online. The Wisephone looks better than it's competitors. The Techless customer support staff respond to emails very quickly and give 5 star customer support.

Simply happy. What a great company. I am a happy Wisephone user for over a year now and my experience with support has been great. Wisephone has had its share of bugs, but the team has been doing a good job of keeping those updates coming. I am so happy with the simplicity and functionality of this phone. It has helped me in a big way to create better digital habits. It might not be for everyone, but I would definitely recommend to a least give it a try if you're looking for simplicity in relating to technology.
