Phone Cards to Africa

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I am trying to find out if any of you know of a phone company that offer good calling plans to Africa. I use calling cards and you cannot get the numbers you call on your phone bill, only the 1 800 number. I have been using my cell phone for international calling, so as to have some records, but it is killing me. Any one have any website or could share the details...

Thank you all.

I had the land line phone bill record, but I also kept some of the phone cards and submitted them with the paperwork. I think if you can print emails or messenger notes, that would be a great help as well.

try www.pimgo.com they track your phone calls and you can print the records fr your interview. My husband still uses it because you get all the minutes paid for. its just like making a regular phone call.. no bad lconnections or loss of min due to bad connections.

I agree! Pingo is excellent!

ALL things work TOGETHER for GOOD!

Felshen, I was looking at the pingo site and wanted to sign up. They ask if someone has refered me and to enter their email address, so that person can get five dollars worth of free calls. Anyway, I was going to put you, but don't have your email address. If you want to give me your email, I would gladly say you refered me. It looks like a real nice system, I think it cant hurt to try it out. Thanks.

Thanks my husband could always use the credit. Its felshen@yahoo.com. we love it and as I said he even still uses it now almost a year after arriving here. We use about $20-30 a month and it just automatically recharges. It also helps me keep track of everyones # over there since its right there in the system!

I signed up for pingo yesterday and I can tell you it is a great service. You can see all the calls you made withing seconds of the completion of the calls. I mean the number you are calling from and the one you are calling to. Also great rates and no connection. I will recommend it for anyone who wants to try.

One more question, to make sure, they want your email address that was used when you set up your pingo account. Is that the one you used? wanted to check before I go ahead and put my payment in. silly, huh? Thanks.

Felshen~ I have got the chance to try pingo, you were absolutely correct. I love it, thanks so much. I hope you will get your $5.00 of calls soon. I have always used African Dream calling card and it gives me problems, I am sure you know, I don't need to say. Problems, problems, problems, expecially on the weekends. Well, I said let me try pingo on the weekend, the call went through the first time. Hmmmm, how wonderful. Thanks again, have a good weekend.

Thank you.. we just got the credit! I am glad you are enjoying it. we fell in love the first try as well. I was wasting 50-60 on calling cards and barely getting 3 hrs of talk time I was so frustarated. I recall getting mad at my sweetie because of the network!. It amazes me how the network to call here is so much better that us calling in with these calling cards! Happy holidays, I am sure you will enjoy the clear reception over the holidays!

F.Y.I.

If you are relying on Pingo to provide you with a calling history, keep in mind that Pingo only keeps your history for up to 12 months. This past week we were in the process of retrieving our records for our AOS interview, and took the time to read the 'tiny' disclaimer. None of this is being said to imply anything negative regarding Pingo. We use it all of the time, and have been very pleased. Just wanted everyone to know just in case you are needing documentation for a time later than a 12 month period.

ALL things work TOGETHER for GOOD!
