My wifes iPhone got the screen of death while I was updating it, and I called this place at 2PM on a Saturday when they were going to close at 3. Crane answered the phone and was very kind and very empathetic to my case (even though it was entirely my fault), and he said that I could come in and hed take a look at it before he closed.He was very knowledgeable, nice, and just an overall cool guy to talk to. He even stayed ten minutes after he was supposed to close to help me out. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to try to get their phones repaired.

I was soooo frustrated with my phone. It wouldn’t charge, and when it did I’d have to hold the cable and press upward just to get anything. I googled places that fixed iPhones and that was close to me. I found Modern Communications. Within 1.5hrs he had my phone fixed with a new charging port, new battery, new screen protector, and he even cleaned all of the phones ports for me!! I was amazed at the price!! So reasonable and cheap in my eyes! I’m so very appreciative and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone!! Owner was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional!! I will definitely use them in the future for every tech need! I just hope that the owner doesn’t retire anytime soon! :)

I was actually referred by my cellular company to go see Crane at Modern Cellular. The screen was badly damaged and I was skeptical about it being repaired. It was almost 5:00 when I arrived (business usually closes at 5:00), but Crane welcomed me in and fixed my phone! I highly recommend Modern Cellular.

I cracked my XS Max screen, and posted a message on Yelp. Crane responded to message on a Sunday morning, gave me a below market quote, was very helpful when my wife took my phone in, and added a new screen protector for free. Awesome and easy experience! Would highly recommend, and will use again!

Modern Communications has been my “go to” repair place for years! I have a tendency to break screens, (and phones!) and they are always quick to repair / replace them. (And not make me feel like a clutz.) Crane and his team have always gone above and beyond for myself and my family as far as providing cellular service and any repairs necessary.They were a true “God Send” after Hurricane Michael! Crane and his crew are the only reason my parents had any communication from Jackson County during the aftermath of that storm. I would recommend Modern Communications to anyone.And I’m his ex wife, so I can completely vouch for his character. 😁.My family and friends also still go to him for all cell phone needs. They are good people, and they won’t lead you down the wrong path in any respect. 👌 😁

I emailed Crane, the owner, on a Sunday and got a response within 15 minutes. I took my phone in on Monday for repair and within an hour he was finished. Very cost efficient. Great service. Friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend Modern Communications.

I highly recommend this place of business to anyone looking to purchase a phone or change carriers. They are professional while still very personal and pleasant. The employees there make it a feel good kind of business. Always a pleasure to do business with them.

Crane @ Modern Communications is the only person we trust with our business. He has provided us with phones & service for more than 10 years and ensures we have service. Crane will always be “family” to us.

If you guys are looking for a phone or need to get your present phone fixed. Please go by Modern Communications 1726 Thomasville Road. Ask for either Kenny or Krane they are the coolest in town period. Ive sold two phones to them and bought one Yesterday. They went through the whole process from start to finish. I am very pleased. I recommend these guys period. Dont hesitate. I give them 5 stars plus plus

Friendly, knowledgeable, and quick! Definitely recommend!!My latest experience was getting a new phone; they had one in stock that fit my needs. They didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need for extra money. They had my entire phone switched over in no time and gave me a fair trade in value. Thanks so much!!

Stop in for great prices and service. Leave before you get involved with Crane.Reputations run fast around here and he’s a bad person. So is his new wife. Ask the first one.If you need a phone repair, he’s nice enough to do it and more.

The staff are a down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and quirky bunch that will always provide their customers with quality work. Their selection may be limited at times, but you’ll never be disappointed with the conversations and integrity given by the staff.I’ve enjoyed the energy of this shop and my friends have received great prices and services. I still highly recommend this shop whenever I can.Crane will tell you what you need to hear concerning your devices and what is the necessary outcome. Trust his methods and I’m sure you’ll have a long-lasting friendship with him and your devices.Please support this local business! You’ll always be grateful for the services they provide!Once again, thank you, Crane, for everything!

I’ve been a loyal customer for over 10 years. I was referred by an coworker because I was over high priced Verizon bills. Crane and his staff was very professional and down to earth folks from the initial visit. I have also brought several reasonable priced phones with Crane over the years. The staff is always very responsive and go above and beyond to solve any of my problems related to phone repairs in a timely manner. I’ve also referred my family and friends to check out the shop. I highly recommend this business and I promise you won’t be disappointed. YOU ROCK!

Im not a personal friend of anyone at this business.. been using Modern Communications services for over 10 years now and no one has ever lied or played games..anyone who says so: as Ive read a couple wackadoo negative reviews that frankly shocked me and I immediately understood that they have to be a little off to put it kindly! Crane is very consistently honest, generous and his staff is always accommodating and friendly!!! I recommend them every chance I get! 🕊

The VERY BEST review for Crane with Modern Communications in Tallahassee Florida, is happening now!!! As a medical professional in Tallahassee, it has been an honor and a privilege working with Crane on numerous projects regarding cell phones as well as, iPads. Cranes expert knowledge base, his integrity, and his overall trustworthiness have been impeccable qualities of professionalism in the cellular retail arena throughout the southeastern United States. I have worked with numerous cell phone companies in Florida and surrounding states regarding sales of cellular devices and repair issues, and by far, Modern Communications has them beat hands down! I have personally recommended hundreds of business colleagues and friends to Crane with Modern Communications for all their cellular communication needs and repairs. Crane/ Modern Communications in Tallahassee Florida, is the MOST trustworthy and reputable communications company that I have conducted business with thus far.Crane with Modern Communications is truly a(5) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟company!!!

Knowledgeable, pleasant, helpful, great customer service. Have been there several times over the past two years and have always been pleased. Crane is the owner; Kelly the manager. Also have witnessed the same quality interactions with others:)Just returned today to their new location---same great service and personal attention from Crane as always. Reasonable prices for sure! Unpretentious space but bright and organized. This continues to be my first choice for anything cellular and I recommend to my friends

This is my go to store not only for repairs but also when I’m looking to upgrade to a newer phone without breaking the bank! The staff is always knowledgeable and very honest about which phone best fits my needs - not just trying to upsell to the most expensive thing. I always recommend this locally owned business to all of my friends and family!

I have been a consumer at Modern Communications for over the last 10 years. I have had only great service from them. They set the proper expectations on what will happen with the repair, when it will be done, and the cost. I have yet to have any issues from repairs or purchases from Modern Communications. I have referred countless friends to them and they have all been highly satisfied with the workmanship of their team. I highly recommend Modern Communications.

I have been going here for all of my cell phone and tablet needs. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They are very knowledgeable and answer any questions I have. I have purchased several phones from them. They have a wide selection for any price range. I have been very happy with my purchases. Also I have had my phone repaired there recently and they were professional and quick with the repair and my phone looks brand new. I will continue to come here I love the staff and Im always treated with respect.

I have been going to this place for about 9 years. It is a very good business that started out in the Tallahassee Mall. The ownder has always been there for me ever since I got my first smartphone. He is especially helpful when it comes to iPhones but if you need another phone this is also a good place to buy a phone. He is honest and has never done me wrong. I really appreciate this business being here for me during all my time of owning smartphones. I will continue to go to this place for all of my mobile needs. Thanks for all you do. I highly recommend this business for all of your mobile needs.

Modern Communications gets several thumbs up from me. My phone has accidents sometimes, and that probably wont stop anytime soon. But I have been taking whatever phone Ive had, iPhone or Android, to the store for awhile. Arriving sad and leaving happy. Not only does everyone know their stuff, but they can explain it, and are only ever interested in best idea for the customers satisfaction. Thanks guys for the work you do.

Ive been a customer of Modern Communications for many years now. Had phones for my sons as they have grown up, had repairs, and given countless referralsCrane is the go-to phone guy that comes to mind you tell everyone about when someone drops their phone, or is asking about getting off contracts. Hes the kind of small business, blue collar working man you trust because he actually works in his own store. He isnt going to BS you into benefiting his own pocket. Hell tell you whats best for YOU.Crane also has great staff that he trains regularly on the never ending, fast paced world of technology and the market of repair. Brandon and Jeff have also been there for quite some time which means something is being done right!You can stop by Modern Communications at the Tallahassee Mall and go through a pretty large assortment of cases, chargers, screen protectors, just about anything you could need for your phone plus helpful advice. The people are cool, and genuinly helpful.A 100% well rounded, Tallahassee staple.

Rude and lying business owner and staff. Save your time and wallet and go to a REAL cellphone store.Selection is okay. Service is okay. Your phone can do better.Fake reviews from employees, friends and family of Crane Walker.Cheap tricks.

Ive been with modern Communications and crane since I believe from about your 2006/2007 I believe is when I first started, and have moved from one side of Tallahassee to the other Im definitely creature of habit but when service is good as a has-been for all these years its worth it traveling back across town to deal with good people

This place is simply awful. The service and selection are the worst Ive ever experienced in my life. Everything is either a ripoff or a cleverly disguised knock off. They couldnt fix any of the problems i was having with my s5. Every question i had was met with an extremely vague answer. Ive been to this store twice and each time I left frustrated. Never coming back.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Modern Communications. Crane Walker (the owner of this company) has provided my husband and I both with phones which we have bought outright, so as to avoid the inflated costs of contracting through chain providers such as verizon, etc. We have paid a low, monthly fee allowing us to have unlimited calling and texting and paying only for the amount of data that we need and we have been able to adjust our monthly programs and costs as necessary. Whenever weve had problems (including phones wearing out or being damaged, such as when one ended up in a swimming pool) he has answered our panicked phone calls instantly and replaced the phones asap. He has also fixed settings and showed us or talked us through tweaking settings and backing up data, etc. many times. He is truly on-call and dedicated to his customers and is knowledgeable and creative in fixing technology and making it available with service plans tailored to each customers need. In fact, although we met Crane when we lived in Tallahassee, we have continued to contract with him for our telephones even though we now live far away because he is so great to work with.

Review №62

This was by far the worst level of customer service I have experienced. The employee gave me a time frame to have my phone repaired and completely left the building with my phone locked up without even finishing the rest epair. I went to retrieve my phone the next day despite having business to tend to that previous day but was unable to because my phone was locked up. I spoke with the manager Crane that day with no resolve. He basically asked me what he wanted me to do with a very arrogant and condescending tone without offering up any resolve for my inconvenience. When I offered him ways I felt could resolve my problem such as speedy service or discounted price he refused. You try to support small businesses as opposed to franchises and corporations and this is the level of customer service you receive after being inconvenienced by his employee a whole day. If you want professionalism this is not the place to go visit other locations in Tallahassee or just call Apple!!!
