Just returned from a week in Costa Rica (Playa del Coco and Tamarindo after flying into Liberia) and we rented a cell phone from Carlos at www.WHYNOTPHONES.com and the experience with him and this company was wonderful.  It seems like he does most of his business from San Jose, but there was no problem getting the phone to us in Liberia. ($8 surcharge for the Liberia location but the overall cost of the phone was still cheaper than others.)  We were met by a nice lady at the Liberia airport holding a sign with our name. We got the phone quickly and were on our way.

The communication with www.WHYNOTPHONES.com was very comprehensive and pleasant and the rental rate for the phone was cheaper than other companies I checked with.  The phone number of the cell phone is given to you when the order is confirmed and you can give that to people in the states.  Text messages were free for incoming AND outgoing messages and they gave us a calling card to use to call the states. A few days after returning the phone, we received an invoice for the number of minutes we used on the calling card.  Carlos also gave us an internet site and a password where people in the US could type a text message using the internet instead of their phones so that there would be no cost from the USA end. The connection for the rental phone was good in all places along the Gold Coast from Coco to Tamarindo. As far as returning the phone, communication was made the day before departing and the pickup time at the airport was confirmed. No problems.  This company is easy to deal with in so many ways, and the fact that they let you use your credit card is also convenient.   (Note: another company we contacted makes you pay in cash or pay a premium for using PayPal and also makes you give them a cash deposit even though they don’t guarantee that they will return it to you in US dollars-?)   Finally, Carlos gives you his cell phone number in case there is a problem. Overall, a great experience with www.WHYNOTPHONES.com.

Dear Carlos,

Thank you so much for providing us with such reliable service during our recent vacation in Costa Rica.  As we were driving throughout the country, having a cell phone made us feel much more comfortable. Additionally, it was great to know that you were always there if we needed anything!  Picking up the phone at the airport was a snap, and it was so great of you to meet us at our hotel to pick up the phone and personally drive us back to the airport.  We’ll definietly call you for a phone next time we are in your country.

Pura Vida!

Hola, mi nombre e Belén y soy española. He estado este último mes trabajando en Costa Rica y solo puedo decir cosas buenas de este país. Solo tiene un pequeño inconveniente y es que es muy complicado hacerse con un teléfono móvil… De todas formas eso se solucionó rápidamente gracias a Why Not Phones. Es la mejor manera de estar comunicado 24/7 y a un precio muy bueno. Además el servicio es muy eficaz ya que tu no tienes que mover ni un dedo porque ellos se encargan de llevar y recoger el teléfono donde tu estés. Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, y también que vayáis a Tamarindo si tenéis la oportunidad, no os vais a arrepentir! Espero que disfrutéis en Costa Rica. Un abrazo

I do appreciate all the extra help you have given to our group not only myself in getting directions,
the places to go for only the phone rental cost (however I hope the extra we extended to you was enough, sorry we had to almost demand you took the extra $100.00), the extra surely saved us much more than we could ever expect from your company.
Your employees were showed extreme high quality in their service, remembering when we got lost and you came found us and not only gave directions but insisted he drove us back to our hotel (not asking a penny). Goodness how much service
can you offer for a simple phone rental of $10.00 a day (even if we did have 3 phones).
Carlos you and your company should consider doing expanding into other tourist needed areas, being you are already so  equipped with a wonderful polite staff.
Rossy  was always there for any questions and giving complete answers, and to our surprise you always followed up to see if you (personally) could help any more (Boy what a surprise).
If all Costa Rica operated with such gratitude and appreciation that provide everyone vacation would be to the highest (like the “da bomb”).
 
All of us here send a message of complete satisfaction and wishes to you and your complete staff.
With all you provide you should be getting paid much more.
 
IN Much Respect

Hi Carlos,

 I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your cell phone rental.  We were able to travel around Costa Rica without any worries.  Our car wasn’t in the best condition and we never knew if it was going to die on us.   It was very helpful to have a cell phone available at all times.  Also, the price of the cell phone was excellent as well. I think your prices are very competitive and I don’t think I could have gotten it cheaper anywhere else. I have many friends that are planning to visit Costa Rica and I will definitely recommend your prompt and professional services of providing cell phone rentals and tourist information.

 Thank you,

Thank you for providing us a quality cell phone during our recent stay in Costa Rica.

My wife had major dental and minor surgery performed during our visit, and since my regular cell phone did not work in Costa Rica, we certainly relied on yours.

Often we needed to communicate between the clinics and myself. And when my daughter and I were out doing tourist fun, the clinics could easily notify us of when my wife was to be picked up.

A few of my friends are coming to Costa Rica soon and they will most certainly use your cell phones.

By the way, my wife pice compared, and your cell phones were the best value hands down.

I will be seeing you again in the spring, see you then

“Why not phones”——Your service was exceptional.  You were prompt and completely professional.  Your rates were the best I found, and the phone was new and worked perfectly.  You came promptly to my hotel for setup and drop-off, making the arrangement maximally convenient for me.  I have kept your contact information and will call you when I am planning my next trip to San Jose.  You earned my unqualified recommendation and commendation.  Many thanks, Carlos.

Como Costarricense, quiero recomendar el servicio de why not phones y a sus representantes: cuando regreso a mi patria natal, me es muy conveniente tener un telefono con  numero local,con una tarifa fija y sin contar el numero de llamadas. El Sr Tello es muy eficiente y responsable; llega a donde quiera que yo me encuentre, para entregarme el telefono y tambien para recibirlo. Estoy muy satisfecho por su servicio .

Sinceramente lo recomiendo.

 Dr Carlos Arguello Figuls.

Until I was introduced to Carlos Tello and his cell phone services ,I refused to get a cell phone while in Costa Rica  because the costs were too high. After speaking to Carlos I decided he was a person I could trust to give me a very good price and excellent service when I needed it .Twice a month I travel to Costa Rica and having been doing so for two years and always use the cell phone Carlos assigned me.

Because I am doing business in Costa Rica, it’s important I have the same telephone number so persons in Costa Rica who need to contact me know they can get me right away on my cell phone. There is no need to leave messages at the hotel where I am staying or other places I may visit. I have the cell phone with me all the time, and take it with me back to the USA. While I am away from Costa Rica people who call my cell phone get a personal voice message from me explaining I am not physically in Costa Rica and how to get in touch with me When I come back to Costa Rica , I   only have to turn it on, and  only  pay for the time I am  in Costa Rica .

I can also put the cell phone number on my business cards and my website. This is helpful for business, as it shows I have business both in Florida and Costa Rica .Finally I would add that in addition to the low cost and quick service, Carlos continues to improve his operation and offers only the best to his clients.

Last week I rented a cell phone and want to thank you for your assistance.  You appeared at my hotel exactly on time to deliver the phone.  The phone was very easy to use and worked very well wherever I used it in Costa Rica.  When it was time to return the phone, you came to my hotel at the time we agreed to retrieve it.  Your cell phone allowed me to keep in touch with my family and office in the United States efficiently and at a very low cost.  Thank you.

Thank for all of the assistance you provided during our trip to Costa Rica.  You made the experience of renting the phone a pleasurable one and I was very impressed by the way you brought the phone to our hotel so quickly.  I would definitely recommend you services to everyone.

Thanks again,

I am a first time customer and I wanted to let you know that on this date I called your sales department to purchase a cell phone with SIM Card for the Liberia in Costa Rica. I spoke with a young man named Carlos and he was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely concerned for assisting me in getting the right phone for my needs. He went above and beyond the call or regular customer service / sales. I fully researched your competitors and of the 15 total possibilities your prices for total packages were the best hands down!!…Thank you for the service and I look forward to future business with your company.

Just a note of thanks for the cellular phone rental while I was traveling in Costa Rica. It was indispensable. We used it everyday to keep in touch with relatives in Costa Rica and back in the States. It was a great help when we were lost and needed directions, when we needed to confirm reservations and when our plans changed at the last minute. I will surely contact you the next time I travel abroad.

It is a breath of fresh air to have found someone like Carlos.  He is honest, personable, delivers unparalleled service, and has very competitive prices on cell phone rentals.  His web-site doesn’t mention it, but he arranges a whole array of services such as car and boat rentals, condo rentals, etc.  I booked a trip in May 09 within two weeks of my travel dates.  Carlos was able to get me the best price that I could find on a rental car as well as his usual great rate on a cell phone.  I like the fact, also, that with a little advance notice he lets me keep the same phone number each time I rent a cell phone from him.  Without reservation I give my strongest endorsement to Carlos.
