Ordered the phone, an eKit 4C, on Monday, and received it two days later as promised. I installed the SIM card, charged battery, with included charger, and things seem to be working - connected to US... See more

Small but smart

The Telestial calling rates are very compatible. The phone was easy to set up and running. The customer service is 24x7 and it was helpful. The phone works with 2 SIM cards which allowed us to use the existing US number with the Telestial phone. Our suggestion is to add instructions about proper insertion of the SIM card.

A great value vs international cell phone plans

I have recently ordered a Telestial phone for a trip to Italy and having investigated every possible way to communicate back home to the US have found Telestial to be the absolute best and cheapest of ANY reputable service. They were even MUCH cheaper than just extending my current AT&T service (with my current iPhone) to an international plan (almost half the price!!). Would recommend to anyone.

Simply the Best with Network even in the remotest part of the WORLD

This is my second sim, my first sim got damaged and I had to get another one. I travel abroad frequently and like keeping in contact with family and friends as often as possible. My US line works perfectly well wherever I am in the world. The network is perfect and charge rates is quite okay. Recharging is quite easy either online or via phone. I will always recommend Telestial to frequent travelers abroad.

Couldn't Ask For An Easier Phone Service

Used Telestial last year when I went to Hungary and Austria, and using it again now for Hungary. Rates are as good as you're gonna find anywhere. Service is pretty reliable. Easy to recharge minutes. No hidden fees (not that I've found so far at least). It is what they say it is.
The one small "complaint" I have is that the sim card itself has a micro-sim built into it that kept popping out when I tried to insert it into my phone. I had to tape it together and it's not very secure, but it seems to be working.

Great company and easy to use service

I have been using telestial for years for my overseas trips as well as my family too. Great customer service and products every time. If you want a trusted company for telecommunications overseas, then you need to use telestial.

Great service!

Their customer service was very helpful and professional. Received the SIM card promptly and had no problem inserting it into the cell phone, and I am not tech savvy at all. Thank you!
