Pingo presents cheap international calling options

February 8, 2008

A listener recently gave Clark a tip about Pingo.com, a website that offers a virtual calling card for ultra-cheap international calling.

Please note that Clark has not personally tried this service yet. He's just passing along the information for you to make your own decision.

Pingo is not a free service; you have to pay $12 to sign up and are immediately credited with $5 in calling time. So the net initial cost is $7. Some of the cheap rates advertised on the Pingo website include 3 cents/minute (Mexico) and 2 cents/minute (Russia).

Clark plans to try this service when he travels to Italy and Switzerland next month. He'll keep you posted!
