I signed up for a calling card on Friday and as of Sunday night I am still unable to use the card. I called costomer service and was told to email a release request. I had already sent several request but I sent another request for immediate release and a day later nothing! Now I just want my money back. I lill get a card that works frrom a company that actually has calling cards. I have had to make two international calls on my phone bill thanks to Pingo's lack of service.

I bought a calling card from Pingo and I am unable to use it. I have emailed the company 3 or 4 times and no response. I need to use the card to call now, but they won't even reply! What can I do?

Will the number I call show up on my cell phone bill, the number I ddial mike

The calling card access number you dial will get charged to your cell phone and may show up on your cell phone bill (depending on how itemized your call log is). The end phone number you are trying to reach using the calling card will not show up. So if the access number is 'abc' and the end destination number is 'xyz', then the call to 'abc' is made on your cell phone (though generally you won't be charged for this call). The call to 'xyz' will not be on your cell phone as this is the number charged to your calling card. If you see what I am saying.
