Run the other way!!!!!!!!! You call with an issue you have to wait for a "representative" for a minimum of an hour, get transferred another hour. I have had an issue since March (it is almost June now) still not resolved. Promise you resolution in 10 business days - didn't happen- on the phone again for a couple of hours get the same old BS!!!!
It was a horrible experience from the start! I ordered this service for my disabled brother on 06/14/19. After making muliple calls to get the service actually working, I called on multiple occasions and finally on 07/15/19 the service was finally turned. Now on 07/19/19 the service has been turned off for non payment. I asked the bill to be sent to my address and I have not received the bill. I called their customer service and they service reps were horrible. They were so rude and would not help with anything but a payment. I will not spend money whenn I cannot have descent customer service. I swithed his service and feel so much better. The service will be on tomorrow. I highly recommend that you avoid this company at all cost. The service is cheap but the customer service is horrible.
Lingo is a very unstable company that overcharges with fees and offers just basic phone service. Customer support is unreliable in terms of no knowledge of installation or setup was given. Call Quality tends to get choppy from time to time. If you have slow internet this is not recommended for you.
Lingo is one of the best options for those looking to switch over to VoIP without investing money in hardware and peripherals. The provider offers a number of great service plans geared towards new users who are looking to ease into the technology. Their feature set is adequate for the casual user, and they also offer integration with mobile devices - not to mention a large roster of countries to make calls to internationally for free.
The Residential VoIP provider provides its customers with a free ATA and complimentary activation to help them jump right into using VoIP without breaking the bank. Lingo's prices are lower than some of the leading providers, and they are offering their first month free as a great incentive with all their plans for a limited time. WIRED Test Magazine selected Lingo Internet phone service as "Editor's Pick" ahead of Vonage, Comcast and Verizon.
