Pincity appears to be closed
Since the second week of May 2009 or so, Pincity appears to be closed for business. I can still access its website, but all of the toll-free access numbers, including the company's main customer service line, all say they are "invalid."
The website says nothing, of course, and makes it look like everything is fine. But beware of this company--it appears to be another phone company that's gone bell up. Fortunately, I had only $9 on the books that now appears lost.
LAST DAY of Our Biggest Promotion!! Celeberating 10 Years!!?
I have found the problem of the access numbers, and the quality of the phone connection. Pincity.com was still promoting their 10 year anniversary on June 12, 2009. I refilled $35 in May and now it is all gone. Today, the phone lines and website are all down. Pincity was trying to get more money from the customers before closing the business. All I want to say is that Pincity is so fxxking cheap.

Advertisements are NOT comments
I have now been alerted twice to a comment I made about the original post here. Both were advertisements for companies attempting to sell what seems to be VOIP (see dated entries Feb. 7th and March 1st above) rather than commenting on the original post or one of the comments to that post. Am I the only one who believes that these are not legitimate posts to these comments? Shouldn't there be another place for these posts. Perhaps something like "Advertisements" could be put on the home page. When it is clicked, one would get a choice to look at these under appropriate headings such as telecommunications, automobile service, etc. Just a suggestion.

Thanks so much for noticing and sending this problem to us. The ads you saw have been deleted.
Calling cards are not always the best deal
Calling cards are not always the best deal, as noted in the article above. One has to watch every little (or big) charge, the cards can, and do, expire with minutes remaining, and they can be quite time consuming to use because of long PINs that are almost impossible to memorize. Granted, the big telecoms are ripoffs but if you do some research you can find smaller companies that are excellent and may not cost much more than some calling cards. For example, the long distance company I use charges 4.8 cents a minute billed by the second (NOT by 6, 12, or 18 seconds or by the minute). That rate includes all of the United States (except California [3.4 cents] because I live there), Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a good part of western Europe as well as other places around the world. I call the U.K. a lot and this company saves me quite a bit of money. By setting up my cell phone as directed by this long distance carrier, my cell phone carrier only charges minutes used (free nights and weekends) and my long distance carrier still charges me the same 4.8 cents per minute for the calls I make to Scotland. I am not charged a monthly fee for making these international calls and if I were to make no long distance calls at all in a given month, I am charged nothing. Best of all, because this is my land line long distance carrier, I just pick up the phone and dial. No PINs, no unused minutes because of time constraints, no extra fees for international calls.
Is there a down side? Sure. I still prefer to pay my bills by check. However, this company accepts payment only by direct debit to a bank account or credit card and bills are furnished by e-mail or the internet. I thought a long time before deciding to go ahead. So far, after seven months, this company has exceeded my expectations. For my costs, the convenience of not having to hassle with a calling card PIN, the clear connections nationally, and mostly excellent connections to overseas numbers (still much much better than my last company or the telecom giant I had before that) it beats a calling card. Fortunately or unfortunately, the days of "set it and forget it" telephone service is over.
Prepaid calling card
You can also try http://www.utalkprepaid.com. They have great calling card rates and quality connection. Try there service free.
Prepaid Calling Card Alert
ALERT: If you push "SEND" while using a prepaid calling card with your cell phone, you will automatically activate the 3-way calling feature. If your second line is activated by mistake, that second line will be billed AT THE FULL BILLING RATE. The bottom line is if you push "SEND", the line with the prepaid calling card info will be charged correctly. The other line will activate and go to the same number you called and the billing will be at the maximum calling rate per minute. It will look like a massive billing error. BE CAREFUL.
