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.
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.
Hello Denise hopefully with our service there is no hassle nor did you need to use your printer again as our services are unlimited. Thank you for giving our small company a shot. I am grateful for your business with our service

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.

Answer: Hello: To all who have suffered multiple, unauthorized charges by Pigeonly. I have submitted all necessary info to classaction.org to initiate a class action suit. My request is being reviewed by lawyers who will let me know if Pigeonly's actions warrant a class suit. You can go to classaction.org to review the process. You may also want to check out the current suits and settlements to see if you qualify as an injured party entitled to a portion of the settlement. If the lawyers decide we have a valid case, they will draft the complaint and file with the appropriate court. The judge must approve the class action before it can go any further; the lawyers will reach out to injured parties, and/or post the suit/settlement on classaction.org, newspapers, etc. If you aren't contacted, please make the effort to join this class action once it's posted. It doesn't require an appearance in any court, nor much of your time. These people are lining their pockets at the expense of so many of us already forced to deal with unfortunate situations. Let's stand together and stop this greedy corporate fraud. [email protected]
Answer: Report to police. They are running a scam. Used all my available credit on my card. I am filing police report tomorrow and they will investigate. I'm done.
Answer: I have it and for the first month worked fine now not working so I just went and got a cell # in his area and said forget it not paying for a service that does not work And when you call customer service they keep saying they are working on the issue and it has been 5 days since my first call saying it wasn't working they are letting you get through for about a month then assigning the # to someone else attaching it to that persons number a big, Ole scam do not use them
Answer: You can send a postcard or letter to your loved one and include your assigned number. Or give them the number the next time they call. Also a lot of jails have implemented emails.
