We make a lot of long
distance calls at Heart of Asia and our long distance bills had been
very very high. A good friend recommended to us Pin City, the
service she was using to make hour long overseas calls to UK and Taiwan. She had reduced her montly long distance charges from a few hundred dollars to less than $50.
We signed up in June
2003 and have been exclusively and happily using the service for all of
our business and personal long distance. Recently a client called
and mentioned his $500 bill for calls to his fiancee in China. We
recommended Pin City he should now be able to save 90% on his calls.
Pin City works very
simply. You register at their website and pay using your credit or
debit card. You control your expenses by only authorising what you want
to spend. Then they give you a Pin number and local access telephone
numbers. You just dial the local number, supply your pin number, dial
the long distance number and make your call at extremely low rates. For
example. US 48 states 2.9 cents, China 2.9 cents, Phillippines 16.5
cents, Russia 7.5 cents, Ethiopia 51 cents. Each time they will
tell you how much is remaining in your account. To save time, you can
register the phone you normally use to make long distance and by
dialing the local connect number be automatically connected to their
system.
When you travel in US
you can also use a toll free number to connect to their system to take
advantage of the low long distance rates. Even when you travel
internationally you can use a local number in most foreign
countries to connect to Pin City to make calls.
