It took awhile to figure out the problem but it’s finally been solved. I wish we had backed up my son’s device before it broke. He lost all of his contacts. I’m satisfied that it’s working again

NO Customer Help, Not True Free Shipping

I tried to cancel my order RIGHT after I ordered. There was way to cancel the order. I wanted to cancel it so that I could order 2 watches instead of 1. I went to order another watch but I was going to be charged $30.00 AGAIN for shipping! I was told the shipping was going to be free but now I was going to pay $60 for shipping?!?!? No thanks!!! I tried calling and emailing the company. I tried to cancel and email the company that I purchased through. It's been days and I still haven't heard back.

When my watch broke, customer service and shipping were helpful and responsive, even going beyond the usual scope of their role to solve my problem.

I have had the model 5 for over a year…

I have had the model 5 for over a year now. It's a great "watch/phone" for my daughter. Our cat has chewed the base cord prompting me to buy 2 additional bases. Service is fantastic when purchasing more products. Thanks!

The discount coupon Memorial Day offer…

The discount coupon Memorial Day offer was misleading. It made it seem as if you get a $35 discount, when in fact, it was a "free" charger supposedly valued at $25 plus a $10 discount. I certainly hope that the watch performance is less deceptive.

Crappy durability.

I only bought it because the strap that came on the watch is failing after less than a year.

Hi there. I am very sorry that you had a poor experience. I would like to hear more about what your experience was like. If you are unable to enter the promo code that is a big deal and hugely inconvenient. Please email marketing@myticktalk.com and we can look into this for you.

My calls were answered

My calls were answered, literally. That is an invaluable quality in a company to have in my opinion. My questions were kindly answered. I sent an email which was responded to within about 12 hours. I placed my order yesterday, and it has already shipped. I received emails to help me set up my Tick Talk account easily. If the product works properly and the company remains eager to help customers in the future, I will have zero regrets. WHAT a great alternative to a cell phone.

No one answered the phones, but My email was responded to within hours and I was able to order what I need. Disappointed the tool needed to replace the watchband isn't for sale/included in My replacement watch band purchase.

Watch wristbands need to be better…

As a customer, I appreciate the functionality of the TickTalk watch, but I would like to offer a few suggestions for improvement. First, the wristbands could benefit from enhanced durability and higher-quality materials to ensure long-term comfort and wearability. My son's wristband tore just after few months of use. Additionally, offering multiple size options would be greatly appreciated, as the current one-size-fits-all approach does not accommodate all users, particularly younger children or older children. Lastly, making the watch accessories available on Amazon would significantly increase accessibility and convenience for many customers.

Hi there. I am very sorry you had a bad experience with your wrist band. We do sell them on our website only because we offer all of our customers the opportunity to ship the watch to us (we take care of shipping) and we can replace it for you. I hope this information helps.

TickTalk4 with a broken wrist strap

We have a TickTalk4 that has a broken wrist strap. We contacted customer service and was promptly responded to by Evelyn. After several email exchanges with our questions, she gave us some options and offered a discount if we opt to upgrade to TickTalk5.
We love the TickTalk4 and we've had it since 2021. High time we upgrade and is looking forward to our new TickTalk5.
