Great offers
October 25, 2020

I absolutely love this site. Its amazingly cheaper then any site I know. Plus the options of all the post cards and photos you can send your loved one is really cool. Its unheard of on any other phone companies. Plus they do all the work for you by printing out the pics you choose to send to your loved one plus they ship it as well. I really enjoy the fact that they offer the first month for only 99 cents.

Not sure yet
October 23, 2020

After seeing the gentleman on VICE and hearing his story, I decided to sign up to see if it works better than the system I currently use. I sent my first picture today then had a chat conversation to determine the time it would take for my picture to arrive. I was told it would go out today and would take 3-5 business days to arrive. I only live 12 minutes from the facility but it usually take about 7-10 days with the facility checking and distributing mail. I'm curious to see if it's quicker than my usual method. I had bought a printer to print pictures, etc. prior to signing up.

Pigeonly is amazing, I was honestly amazed by the 1st month fee being charged 99cent for the first month, it helped me sooo much, because adding funds to the phone is a lot of money I don't have at times but Pigeonly has a line set up for phone calls am starting at A PENNY a minute, I can send postcards, greeting cards, pictures and letters, all through this amazing app, it hasn't froze, kicked me off my app, nothing, it has been very secure, fast, and convenient for me too use! I'm so glad I've found this website, after the first month the fee does go up to like 28$ a month, but it's definitely worth it! Thank you lots Pigeonly, you definitely make communication easier and faster plus you give us more time to communicate because of the low fees!

I think pigeon.ly is great overall, I really do. I think it's pretty cool how it's affordable as well; and there's so many options to choose from.The only thing I would say needs work or should be added is a possible font change, that would really make it pop. One more thing that could be added is keeping memories and track of our letters or photos that we send; and I think it'd be freaking awesome if those features were added.
