This review is from: CEIVA 7-inch Digital Photo Frame with Card ReaderThis review is not about the product. We have two first generation Ceiva frames that still work. The technical model of managing pictures in a frame at a location that has power and telephone but no Internet connection is unique and works well.This review is about Ceiva, the company.We purchased these frames as charter subscribers from Ceiva when they were a fledgling company. As a promotion, we paid 3 times the annual rate for lifetime subscriptions. This was a good deal for us and good word of mouth advertising for Ceiva. The promotion was only offered for a few months, limiting Ceiva's financial liability.In the intervening years, Ceiva posted a policy on their site defining "lifetime" as the life of the device or seven years. This limitation was not disclosed in the original offer and the only email I have received from them has been monthly newsletters: a marketing brochure.When I noticed our lifetime subscriptions soon expire, I contacted their customer support. After working my way up to the manager of customer service, he denied my request to honor the original deal. He did offer me a discount on buying new, current product. In other words, he tried to turn a significant customer service incident into a sales opportunity.The product provides a unique solution but considering the subscription cost, it is very expensive. Since it would have cost Ceiva so little to honor the few lifetime subscribers they have, I can only infer that their business model is not working and they are desperate for new revenue. Since the product relies on the services Ceiva provides later, my recommendation is to steer away from this company.Instead, buy another product; spend a dollar a month and mail grandma an SD card. She can learn to change it....

This review is from: CEIVA 7-inch Digital Photo Frame with Card ReaderI purchased 5 ceivas for our family, and I am completely unsatisfied. Ceiva frames are a nice idea, but for the hundreds of dollars you will spend for pure frustration with the web site and customer service it is not worth it. I have tried countless times to correct Ceiva's mistake with my gift subscription for my mother and they will not correct it. When you call, you have to wait 10-15 minutes on the phone with no correction to your problem. When you email, they tell you to call. When they make promises they never follow through. This is the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED FOR AN OUTRAGIOUS PRICE! I will never recommend this product to anyone. There are better and cheaper alternatives to digital frames out there. Don't Buy Ceiva!...

This review is from: CEIVA 7-inch Digital Photo Frame with Card ReaderBoth of my grandmothers, my mother-in-law, and my grandmother-in-law have been given Ceiva frames by family members, and we love them. I've never had any problems with customer service, and I've handled the purchase of 4 frames and I've set up 3 of them. To my knowledge, there is no other frame like this one on the market.Unlike most digital frames, which require a person to connect to a camera or to insert a card to download pictures, the ceiva frame connects to your phone line or internet connection (I hear they now have wireless, too). You invite friends and family to set up a free ceiva account so they can send you pictures. Each night, ceiva dials in (if you're on dial-up) and downloads any new pictures you've been sent.This allows you to set up Grandma's frame, invite all your family members to send her pictures, and go. Family sends pictures, Grandma sees them, no maintenence required.If you purchase this for someone who is not computer savvy, I suggest setting it up for them (it is very easy if you follow the instructions, and when one of my grandmothers had to set it up herself, she called in and was able to figure it out over the phone since she does not have a computer herself). I maintain the online account for both grandmas, and I do go in ever now and then and clean out old pictures (I have their frames set to "recycle," so no pictures are ever completely lost unless I delete them--they just go away and cycle back through). The old frames display 30 photos at a time; the new ones display 50. You do have to pay a monthly service fee. To me, that's worth it. Plus it simplifies gift giving. Instead of killing ourselves coming up with new gift ideas, my cousins and I pool our money every Christmas and buy Grandma another year of ceiva! I don't understand the poor reviews posted. This is seriously the greatest digital photo invention ever. No other digital frame compares to this one for ease of sending pictures. A must for every grandma without a computer!!I suggest buying from ceiva directly. If you or someone you know already has a frame/account, you can get a coupon for $50 off, and when it's used, the original account gets a few months of free service. They also have packages with multiple frames/bundles of service....
