Talkloop.com, a pre-paid international phone card
I’ve been using Pincity to make domestic and international long distance calls for a few years now. Pincity is like a pre-paid phone card, except that you don’t have a physical card; instead, you create an account on Pincity’s Web site, and then “load” money into your account. Then you dial a toll-free or local number every time you want to make a long-distance call. The calls are charged to your account. When the balance in your account is low or if your account is empty, you just add more money to your account by paying on the Web site, or over the phone, and the credit appears in your account instantly.
Pincity is great because it has good rates (2.9 cents/minute domestic, 16.7 cents/minute to the Philippines), and unlike many phone cards out there, it doesn’t cheat you. You can see each call you make listed on Pincity’s Web site, right after you make it. Aside from that, Pincity has many other great features which I won’t go into here. Suffice it to say, Pincity and other similar services are a step up over traditional phone cards.
Anyway, just a few days ago, I decided to try a similar service from a competing company called TalkLoop. TalkLoop is even better price wise (2 cents/minute domestic, 12.4 cents/minute to the Philippines). I’ve only used it a few times but it seems to work fine. Like Pincity, you can set your account up to not require you to enter your PIN if you’re calling from certain numbers like your home phone number. You can also enter frequently dialed phone numbers on the Web site and assign them a one- or two-digit code. Then when you call, you just enter the code, instead of the full number—kind of like the way memory or speed dial works on your regular phone. And just like Pincity, every call you make is listed on TalkLoop’s Web site as soon as you make it, and it does not cheat you with the minutes. I actually tried TalkLoop out when I was trying to call the Philippines on New Year’s Eve over there, but I couldn’t connect on Pincity. Luckily, I was able to connect using TalkLoop.
If you decide to sign up with TalkLoop, let me know and I can refer you so that you and I will both get a bonus credit. I think it might be bigger than the sign-up bonus you can get from signing up directly on their Web site.
If you want to sign up with Pincity, I can also refer you and we will both get a bonus. Occasionally, Pincity will have a promotion (usually when a holiday is coming up) and offer a coupon code on its site that gives a discount or bonus. I think the discount/bonus from those codes is usually equivalent to or better than the bonus you can get from being referred. So if there’s a code available, you can just use that when you sign up. But if there are no current promotions, then you can get a code by being referred.
