Amigo U.S.Reviews of amigo-us.com

The phone I rented worked wonderfully in Turkey and Greece for both international and local calls. However, when I got to Italy, I could not connect to the States. Local calls worked fine. Still would consider using the service in the future.

I have rented from Amigo several times and have always been pleased with rates and service. This time, however, the charging cord I was sent did not match the phone. If it were not for another person in my group who had the same phone, and only had the phone because I had recommended Amigo to them, I would have been unable to recharge my phone when I was travelling. I pointed this out to Amigo when I sent back the phone. I never heard back from them.

The instructions were not so easy and the phone did not work when I got to the UK. I had to go to 2 phone stores in the airport to get the phone working and get the flow of emails started. They said I needed local 02 codes. They were able to add them in but this should have been explained to me before I went. I never saw the words 3G or Edge in the top right of the phone that the instructions said there would be. Texting was fantastic but receiving email was slow and arduous. It took a long time for the text of the emails to come through.

the folks at the office are great to work with but they didn't tell me that I'd be charged for shipping the phone $10 each way. It wasn't even in the confirmation that they sent out. the equipment struggled to grab a cellular service in St Martin but i'm not sure that it is the phone's fault.

I have always rented from Amigo and recommended it to others going to Israel. However, for the first 24 hours the phone would not work. Even took it to a phone sore in airport. Took sim card in and out, tec. Finally, met a techie who did something and then it worked. Called number on paper that Amigo sent with phone and he told me he only repairs televisions. Called 2x to make sure I had right number. Very disappointed to think I would not have a phone for two weeks I was in Israel.

I arrived in Israel on Sunday morning and the phone did not work. I couldn't get it to work until I called New York on Monday which because of the time difference was late Monday in Israel. I have not had this problem when I rented an Amigo phone before. Once it was activated, it worked fine.

The price was right, but walking around with a bright yellow phone was a bit annoying.

Things I did not like: 1. Sim card was loose, and phone did not work, at first. 2. Phone calls international had echo
