LINGO / Primus Telecom SUCKS Monkey Balls
10.14.04 (6:31 pm)   [edit]
I read about Lingo phone service and thought it sounded like a great deal. It's phone service through high-speed internet access.

I had some questions, so I called their Sales Support line. They immediately picked up and were rather helpful. My questions were answered and I signed up. I gave them my credit card # for $39.99 to pay for equipment.

I received the equipment. I read the instructions and find out that everything the sales rep told me was false. I called their Sales Support. Since they had my money, I was of no interest to their Sales team. They told me to call Customer Support.

I sat on hold for more than 45 minutes, to be hung up on before I spoke to someone. I redial, rather pissed, and isit on hold another 57 minutes. The 'phone center' is in India and the rep I spoke to was unable to do anything more than read from a card.

I sent back the equipment. It's returned to me saying "Refused: Return to Sender".

I call back and sit on hold for an eternity. I raise hell. They send me a UPS airbill and I promptly send the equipment back.

Three weeks later, I'm looking over my bill to see if I've been credited, but instead, they have billed me ANOTHER $39.99 as a 'cancelllation fee'.

My credit card company is of no help.

So I've been communicating via email. They have 'assured' me that I will be credited back 'promptly' and my 'cooperation' is appreciated.'

Bullshit.

Three weeks later, no credit.

So today, I sent them an email.

Well, perhaps "emails" would be a more appropriate description. I sent their "sales department" email about 100 emails.
I feel better.

So my advice: Stay away from Lingo / Primus Telecom because the make unauthorized charges, their customer service is abysmal and their sales staff lies/misleads people.

I sent another 100 emails this morning to their corp. svcs website.

At this point, I'm just going with the annoy the fuck out of them until they credit me.
