    I have a problem with Cellular Abroad, Inc., **** ** Century ****** Suite ***** *** ******** ** XXXXX. I rented a cellphone from this company to use during a trip to ******* ***** from October **** through the ***** When it arrived at my home, the directions said it could not be tested before leaving the USA. When I got to Venice, it did not workI was not able to call the two numbers I needed to contact and they could not call me. I was left stranded in a wheelchair with two suitcases because of their neglegence. Luckily, I was able to coordinate my transportation and ultimately exit the airport without a rented telephone. I was able to e mail the company from my hotel, and they questioned whether I knew how to use a telephone and then requested the numbers that I was in touch with. They admit that the numbers I needed to call in Italy were correct. However, in spite of the fact that the phone did not work when I needed it, they are disputing my request for a refund. I have filed a complaint with the credit card company, and now I am doing the same with you. Let me know if I should also file one with the district attorney in California. The company insists that the phone worked, but, as I could not test it in the USA, I don't know how they were able to. I have rented phones from this company before to use in Italy, without trouble, and, yes, I know how to use a telephone.

    My husband and I traveled through ****** and ****** for 3 weeks. I rented from Cellular Abroad a phone to use in Europe because the international service from my present cell provider, Consumer Cellular, is practically non-existent.When I contacted Cellular Abroad, they provided all the information I needed, and I decided to rent their Android cell phone for Europe. I had a couple of issues when I received their phone, but *****, Cellular Abroad Representative, drove to my home and immediately resolved the problems. That is what I call ********************** A couple of times when I tried making a phone call with my regular cell phone, I was never able to get through, so I switched to the cell phone from Cellular Abroad and no problem at all. All phone calls always went through. Their cell phone for Europe worked perfectly all the time. After that experience from Consumer Cellular inefficient service, we relied completely on CELLULAR ABROAD cell phone data to look for restaurants and places, and to place phone calls to make reservations for restaurants, taxis and tours, and confirm hotel reservations.I do highly recommend you get their service. They are very professional, reliable, and their customer support is fantastic!!
