Lingo made unauthorized changes to our account, including canceling active phone numbers without permission. A basic request to forward a phone line took two months, and their cancellation process has been intentionally difficult. We are still waiting on a final invoice. We didn't realize how badly we were being scammed until our new provider started looking into everything. We had phone numbers on our account that belonged to other businesses, and we were supposedly renting phones from Lingo. Now they are claiming we own them. No one at Lingo seems to know what they are doing, and getting anything resolved is nearly impossible. I work with many phone vendors and have never had this many issues. This is not how a phone company should operate. Our new phone company is more affordable and has provided fantastic service. I regret letting this drag on for as long as it did.
Horrible - Dishonest - Useless Customer Service - Lie about contracts They lie right off the bat when they call you. At least the guy who calls to hook you speaks your language. After that it's accents you can't translate from call centers with a million other voices in the background. I agreed to their services in 2018 with free first month and 6th month. That was a lie. Never happened! Tried the customer service on that. Of course they say they don't know anything about that. Customer service person I can't understand. Ask if there is someone who can speak better English and am told "NO" Can't email me. Doesn't care. Over the years, they have added about $25 to my bill. Bogus taxes - unexplained "Other Charges" Got a letter a few months ago with a bill. The bill was for my gradually ever-increasing bill amount, the letter says I'm being charged another $20+ for some other taxes they had failed to include on my bill for the last year. Paid that. Couldn't bring myself to suffer through a useless episode with overseas customer service agent. Finally sick of them, switched the line over to a cell with Verizon. Lingo continuing to bill me for a service they have not been providing for two months. Paid it once. The second time I call Customer service. Hung up on. Call again 15 minutes on hold - another guy I can't understand. What I am able to get from him: Verizon didn't notify them (A lie, Verizon can't use the number until Lingo releases it - I waited several days for that to happen) I am suppose to still owe the bills + more to come which will include a $200 Early termination charge!!! Say I am under some other contract that they can't provide me with. Just simply a lying scamming company . By the way, they were called Birch Communications when I signed up. They changed to Lingo somewhere along the line. Not BBB accredited - No shock there I'll update this when I get my next statement.
My phone stopped working, no dial tone, nothing. Contacted Support was on phone for over an hour trying to fix issue. Could not get phone to work and was told to send phone back and they will issue a new one. Two months later on my bill I am charged for phone I returned, first Net2Phone stated I did not return phone, they finally found phone I returned and I figured all was good. Receive my next bill and there is still the charge for phone I returned. Contact Net2Phone to be told they tested phone and it was deemed damaged and they are charging me. I ask for copy of testing they did on phone and to return the phone to me. I was told "THEY CANNOT DO THAT FOR ME" , i CANNOT HAVE PHONE BACK BECAUSE IT IS IN INVENTORY! This is some kind of scam this Company is doing! I have spent hours sending emails and still getting no where. Search for a better Company to do business with, do not trust Net2phone.
The service was not bad, until we had an issue with the cordless phones. They have a very difficult time with simple tasks. (it took them a long string of emails and about 5 people to understand that we needed to replace a broken phone, which took them over a week). After they finally sent us a replacement phone, it would not connect to the existing base. Don't worry, they said they can link in to our computer and sort it all out... before I knew it, none of the cordless phones worked. Now a couple weeks later they have sent us a new base and new cordless phones, but don't have time to call to help set them up. Don't even ask about onsite help, they don't do that. They were quick to send the monthly invoice despite us not having service for half of it.
