Pioneer 3.25 TalkCents service plan

Overall Rating:
3.7 out of 5
By: Dale Imbleau on Friday, February 03, 2006
From: Portland, OR (United States)
Pros: It is everything that it stated it was.

Cons: You pay on line and the Pioneer website is a little hinky.

Summary: I have been using the service for a few months now and could not be happier. Contact from Pioneer is low key and non intrusive. I would highly recommend this.

From: Bend, OR (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Pros: A real person who speaks American English answers the phone

Cons: Changing providers was a hassle with Qwest. It took over a month to get it right (not Pioneer's fault).

Summary: They do what they say. Has lowered my phone bill.

Service is Great.

From: northfolk, TX (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Quality of service and value

Cons: None to Date

Summary: I have been a customer since mid-October and have been very impressed with service to date. I primarily use the service to make international calls, and the voice quality is equal or better to any of the other services I have used in the past (e.g., SBC, "1010-'s", etc.). I plan to continue using "phonedog" for the foreseeable future.

LD Switchover not always a snap

By: i estrada on Sunday, January 01, 2006
From: Sunnyvale, CA (United States)
Experience: 45 Days
Pros: Cheap rates, good connections.

Cons: Customer service follow-up can be improved.

Summary: After switching from my previous provider and supposedly confirming 3 times, I finally tried to make an international long distance call and found out that I had not been switched, I was somehow still using my original provider. Customer Service via e-mail is very responsive, but when I called Pioneer's Customer Service and left a message, they never called back or sent an e-mail. I'm still waiting for a callback.

From: Warrenton, VA (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Pros: Inexpensive!

Cons: None to date.

Summary: Verizon with long distance was too expensive.
I would like to find a cheaper local phone carrier, than Verizon. Pioneer has been a great find and I recommend one consider it.

From: Cantonment, FL (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Great service for a great rate!

Summary: I have only good words to use for this service. No problems with any calls. I have not had any need to contact customer service, but I am sure that it will be handled well. Receive my charges via email and click the link to review my bill. I highly recommend this provider.

Great way to knock off a few dollars!

By: Stacey Winkelmann on Tuesday, November 29, 2005
From: Mt. View, CA (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Calls during the day are much more inexpensive now. I'm also getting a better rate on my intra-state calls too.

Cons: I wish it covered those pesky calls that are within a 13 mile radius of my home the phone company still picks up.

Summary: I'm recommending to all my friends and family who would like to lower their long distance phone bills. This is a great way to do it.

pionneer 3.25

Overall Rating:

By: bob Davidson on Monday, October 31, 2005
From: franklin park, IL (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Low cost great for people who don't make many long distance call. No monthly fees just for having the service

Cons: none so far

Summary: I like not having a monthly fee especially since I may not make a long distance call for months on my land line at home. I use the free long distance with my cell and I like saving the $3 a month I was getting charged by my previous long distance company.

Long Distance - Did you know?

Over 25 Million people use AT&T’s basic plan. They could save hundreds of dollars each year, if they switched. Are you still using AT&T, Sprint, or MCI?
