About Pingo
What is Pingo?
Pingo is an international calling service that lets you call any phone number worldwide from any phone — landline or mobile — using local access numbers or its free smartphone app. It solves the problem of expensive cross-border calls by offering low per-minute rates and simple prepaid billing with no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Who is it for?
Pingo is for anyone who needs to make frequent or occasional international calls: expatriates keeping in touch with family abroad, remote workers dialing overseas clients, or travelers wanting a reliable way to call home without roaming charges. It is not designed for domestic calling or business VoIP needs like conference bridges or call routing.
How does it work?
After creating an account, you buy voice credit (minimum €5) and can start calling immediately. You can dial directly through the app without a PIN, or use a local access number in over 35 countries — no internet required. Features like PINless dialing, speed dial, and auto-recharge make calling easy and consistent.
Real use cases
A user in Germany calls family in Mexico for 0.7¢/min on the Platinum plan. A student in France tops up €5 and calls India occasionally using the Premium plan at 1¢/min. Reviews highlight reliable billing and good voice quality.
