Lingo

nino:  Best company, I have been with LINGO for over 4 years. No issues at all; however, it all depends on your internet service. If you have excellent high speed, then you should not have any problem whatsoever. I stopped using their service because I switched to G4 cellphones where I can use video chat.

frank:  I had have it for less than 1 year, they always over charge me. I called them for several times and they agreed it is a mistake, but they only apply the credit to my next bills!!! Come on, it's my money, why can't you credit it back to me immediately? It's about $75 and I need to wait for a long time to get all back. But after 1 month, they began to overcharge me again!!! And states that cell phone need to be charged on minutes but it was free before. I called them for 4 times, each time is over 40 minutes waiting and got cancelled, but charge me $99.50 cancellation fee!! No way!!

Charlysc:  Have been with this company for years and still VERY happy. Our families live overseas and Lingo has been the best deal so far. Customer support rocks: had to use them twice over the years and the answer was fast and reliable.

Bryan:  If you try to cancel on the phone they will transfer you to a # that never picks up. I went an entire month where I could not make or receive local calls. I reported this and never got a response. Horrible company. Wish there were this many comments about them when I signed up in 2008. Avoid at all cost.

Ram:  DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY. I had lingo from 2007 till 2010. The calls quality and connection is not great but ok, I never had a problem in that regard. Their billing department sucks. I switched from talk 365 to World Talk plan where the call to India was free. But they charge me more every time I called. Whenever I called them they said they will pay only refund part of it and would say others are taxes and Government fees. They did this for three months and so I decided to change to Vonage. When vonage proted then number I called Lingo to cancel. They did not cancel and then they charged me with $40 and cahrged my card. Then I disputed the charge through credit card company. Now they sent a letter from collection agency. I am planning to fight for my money.

AL:  DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY. I had lingo from 2006 till 2010, I have to say that calls quality and connection is great, I never had a problem in that regard, but starting a year ago, on international calls, they started charging much more then their published rates, I contacted them to see if their rates went up, and their answer was no and my charges were a mistake and I would be refunded, NEVER DID, for the next 3 months had the same problems and same answers and NEVER A REFUND, not only that but it got worse, they started charging me for calling countries that are suppose to be free within my plan, EVEN WORSE, some landline numbers I called were considered mobile numbers and was charged triple the rate, finally I gave up and cancelled with them, and recieved a confirmation e-mail thanking me for being a loyal customer since 2006, GUESS WHAT, a month later I was charged $99.5 for early termintion fee because I did not complete a 2 years contract, I WAS WITH THEM FOR 4 YEARS, another call and another apology and this time with an e-mail confirming that I shouldn't have been charged the termination fee, 3 MONTHS LATER NOW AND NO REFUND YET. I researched my problem to see if I was the only one and GUESS WHAT, I'm not the only one, I'm really considering an action lawsuit, so good luck joining them.

I recently changed my plan to a new promo but they wouldnt honor it after a month later... i wasnt the only one who was getting hard time, three of my friends who also signed up had gone through same problems.. each month we get High bills which suppose to be included in ur plan, to get a hold of customer service u have to wait atleast 40 minutes, and they cant even solve the billing problem, it has to be sent to higher power to be resolved..TRUST BE PPL "LINGO" IS NOTTING BUT PAIN IN THE BUTTOCK...stick to vonage or comcast

V:  First they suck you in with the great deals. When you sign a contract, they will change your 1-yr contract to a 2-yr contract and the only notification you'll get is through your account online - and they only give you 3 days. So if you don't respond within 3 days, that is acknowledgement that you accept the terms to the new 2-yr contract. Oh, and the cancelation fee is doubled as well. Technical features-wise, I have never really had any large complaints. Cheap intl calls, if not free. Comes with a lot of great functions that you pay extra with landline providers (caller id, call waiting, etc), I can manage my acct online, change features online, etc. Thank goodness I can pretty much do everything online because their Indian call center customer center is worthless and the people are condescending. They will never connect you to the main Primus Office in Virginia, and if they say that they can't do anything else for you - they WON'T do anything else for you. So as long as you are not having problems on the technical side, you're set. I happen to figure out a way to make my phonebills cheaper (Straight Talk cellphones + Magic Jack), and wanted out of the Lingo contract, but now I can't until I hit my 2-yr mark, which is another year.

Voidstr:  I tried Lingo for a day, and when AT&T offered discounts rates to win me back, I canceled my Lingo account. I specifically asked the cancellation dept. to make sure my # wasn't ported. They sent an email a few days later stating the # was still to be ported, but that I could cancel with email. I emailed, but two days ago my phone was ported. It will take a WEEK to get my number back. Beware.

olli:  Have used Lingo now for over 2 years. Worked great for me and especially calling for free to Germany is awesome. Had several setup problems though and the agents on the phone are mostly horrible. Once it is setup correctly though - it works nicely. Have to reset the adapter every other month.

TR:  I have had the same problem with trying to cancel after horrible service, a false promo rate that was never honored, and then lingo threatening to send a collection agency after me when my credit card company tried to fix the problem. Avoid lingo at all costs.

Paulie:  Lingo (AKA Primus Telecommunications) has an "F" rating with the BBB. They have had 396 complaints and 192 of them in the last 12 months. I'm trying to cancel with them now and they are trying to charge me a $99.95 for a policy they changed 4 months after I began service. I have to wait until June 24th one year after I started to see how this is all going to pan out but I don't have high hopes after all the complaints I have found on the internet.

JR:  Lingo is the worst co. to deal with. We had a one year agreement with them and when we cancelled their crummy service after 18 months they claimed that we owe them an early termination fee because they renewed our contract without notifying us. When we tried to resolve this with them all e-mails came back with a failure notice. Next thing I get is something from a collection agency that is trying to get this illegal fee. This whole experience is a nightmare. If you google lingo +complaints you will see that I am not the only one who is ldealing with this nightmare.

arr:  Lingo does not work and they make it impossible to cancel service - I had to call 8 times to cancel service and it took 2 months - they charged me after I finally cancelled - don't use Lingo

Werner:  I tried Lingo, but I was unable to get any halfway decent connection. Half of the words got lost on the way. I tried to contact Lingo via e-mail and phone now for two months. Unsuccessfully so far.
