Pioneer Telephone

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: Neal Parker on Thursday, April 24, 2008
From: Richardson, TX (United States)
Experience: 90 Days
Pros: No hassle, easy to do.

Cons: $10.00 one time service charge.

Summary: Choosing this provider was a great way to get rid a monthly fee my existing provider charged whether I made long distance calls or not. Since we use a cell phone for all long distance calls this was a great way to get rid of a monthly fee while still having the ability to make a long distance call from the land line if needed. It lowered my bills for sure.

From: Bloomington, IN (United States)
Experience: 4 Years
Pros: Very Affordable, Friendly, Great Features

Cons: No cons

Summary: I have been with Pioneer for 4 years and have had no problems what so ever. Switch over from your old long distance carrier is easy and the rates Pioneer has beats all other competitors soundly. Pioneer does not charge a "low usage" fee like some of the other carriers. Customer support is friendly if you have any questions. I highly recommend Pioneer Long Distance.

Excellent service at an excellent value

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: B C on Wednesday, April 23, 2008
From: Belmont, CA (United States)
Experience: 5 Months
Pros: You only pay out for what you use!

Cons: I didn't sign up for Pioneer sooner!

Summary: Great find! We were getting billed by MCI long distance for approximately $14/month to make about a total of 30 minutes average of local toll and long distance calls - which came out to add up to only about a couple bucks out of a $14 bill! We "got enlightened" and changed over to ATT long distance and paid approximately $5/month for those 30 minutes; again of which less than $2 was in the costs of calls made. Then we came across and switched to Pioneer. Our ATT landline costs is approximately $14/month and we still have OVER $6 on our original credit of $10 that we signed up with. I think of ALL that money we gave away to MCI.....

    Seriously?  Riots?: NYers line up, wait, and get angry over BlackBerry Storm

    Storm Riots in NYC

    What ever happened to try before you buy?  Hordes of CrackBerry addicts in New York City braved sub-freezing temperatures to line up before 6am this morning at Verizon stores in hopes of landing a BlackBerry Storm.  Lots of 'em apparently went home (or to the office) cold and angry, as VZW didn't have enough stock to meet the demand. So much for reading reviews and carefully considering new purchases in this time of economic...

The Rapture has those grooved metal buttons that can be found on the Motozine. There are two contextual buttons, but none of the fancy LED color changes of the ZN5.

    Storm: Verdict? Disappointing

    I really, really want to like Verizon's new BlackBerry Storm.  I want to love it.  Why?  Well, competition is good, and in the year and a half since the original iPhone launched, no other phone has been able to match the performance of its touchscreen or Web browser.  HTC's Touch Pro and G1, and Samsung's Epix and Eternity have impressed me as of late, but none of these devices offers the fingers-on touchscreen experience of...

Once, during a particularly horrible rendezvous, I ran to the ladies' room and texted my friend."Help! Bad date. Need out :-(  Pls call in 10 min!!"After adding the extra exclamation point for emphasis, I went back to the table and waited to be rescued. Ten minutes never felt so long.
