Pioneer 2.7 Rate Buster User Review

Cons: None so far.

Summary: Way to go for the frugal consumer.

Summary: This is the most efficient way of using long distance. I appreciate the ability to not pay for long distance or for local calls that are not made.

Cons: none so far

Summary: I do not use long distance very much, but when I do I want cheap rates, clear sound, and line availability, This has been my experience so far and I really have nothing else to say, except no complaints. I have only had the service for a few months and if I run into any problems I will report them. Have a blessed day, Kathleen

Cons: None yet.

Summary: This is the best and most reasonable phone service I could find after doing some research. I like the convenience, quality, and price, and I have no regrets choosing this long distance provider.

Cons: it was hard to understand the person who answered our calls; we had to "mediate" between Pioneer and our present phone company

Summary: We actually never got hooked up to Pioneer. First, they told us that the other company (PNG) had a lock on our line, and said that I needed to call PNG. I did so, and PNG claimed that they didn't have a lock on our line. A few days later, PNG left a curious message on our answering machine - "send an LLR" - and of course, not knowing what it was, I called PNG aqain. I discovered what it was, and called Pioneer, who told me that they didn't know what an LLR was, could I call PNG again and ask them to release the line. I actually called PNG one last time. All they could tell me was that Pioneer needed to send an LLR.
After that point, I was very frustrated, and did not pursue the matter further. Our credit card "hold" finally ran out at Pioneer, and we will not seek to strike up a relationship with them.
I wish that we could write a more positive review, but that has been our experience. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to express our dissatisfaction.

Cons: Be aware of the $10 initial charge

Summary: This service provides good value with no monthly fees or minimum usage requirements. It is excellent for those who do not make a lot of long-distance calls. The initial $10 fee is credited to your account to pay for the first few calls you make. Voice Quality is as good as the MCI service we had before. Highly recommend.

Cons: None

Summary: No monthly plan fees. No monthly convenience fees. No fees of any kind. You only pay one low rate for the calls you make, plus appropriate taxes. My monthly land-line long distance has gone from $8 a month to under $1 with Pioneer's 2.7 Rate. No problems with connections or quality, domestic or international.

Cons: I don't know of any.

Summary: We don't make very many long distance phone calls and this service seems to suit us just fine. I have made a call to our grandson in Australia and calls to Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia and was well pleased with the quality.

Cons: Substandard voice quality, fades in and out

Summary: Have had a problem with voice quality fading in and out. Also, I tried to enter the access code for a conference call and the conference call service could not detect the digits entered. No one else on the call had a problem, and I had to use my cellphone to participate in the call.

Cons: Have to go to site to pull up call details.

Summary: The main reason I decided to look for a new carrier was cost. Pioneer offered me a great rate for the calls I make. I usually don't make many, so I was looking for a carrier that would not charge me an arm and a leg for those calls or a monthly flat fee. The whole process was very easy to do online. I would recommend Pioneer to anyone.
