I contacted them about their overseas service, they assured me (more than once and on more than one phone call) that I would pay the going rate per country. Instead they went through a ship and charged me an outrageous sum of Thousands of dollars. I refused to pay. I have perfect credit, but willing to take this hit on it. I am careful to have everything in place and check and double check their policies. When they refused to provide anything in writing, I should have run. Glad to see they are out of business!!!!!
This is what I got via email Zingotel Inc has shutdown business. Most of its servers are already down and your service might get interrupted any minute now. Miracle Telecom is pleased to offer Zingotel customers with a special plan. To sign-up now visit https://www.miracletel.com/index.php/signup Now.

We will be able to migrate you to Miracle Telecom in less than one hour of sign-up ( Order will be processed during normal business hours in Eastern Time Zone) Now Maricle telcom also claimed in the email to have 6 years experience in the voip field the website was created Feb 7 2009 I belive that this company is just zingotel under a new name they worked out a way to get out from under their debts as a new company I do know that people from zingotel work at Miracle Telcom Now I used zingotel for 3 years it was never great but usually worked ok I may try this "new company" but i am not sure yet
I signed up for a TV streaming box from iTalkBB a few months ago, which was fine at first. But they recently contacted me out of nowhere and told me that I was responsible for a phone number sending out illegal spam messages! They told me I signed up for a phone number through them (I never did that). They told me I had provided a picture of my passport to them to verify my identity when signing up (I DEFINITELY never did that). Then they told me that the signup was from an IP address in China two weeks ago, when I haven't left the United States. So it obviously wasn't me, but they still were trying to tell me that I would be in trouble! They wanted to get my real phone number canceled, they wanted to involve the Shanghai police department... Just an absolute nightmare being put on me, when it was actually their own problem with allowing a fraudster to sign up. The whole call was very suspicious, like they were trying to scam me or get something out of me, although I can't quite figure out how. iTalkBB needs to get their security under control and not try to dump their own problems on their legitimate customers. If this is any indication, at some point their entire block of phone numbers might get blacklisted for allowing too much spam, which would not be fun if you were trying to use one for your own phone! You will probably want to stay away unless you like dealing with incompetence and bad security.
The staff member is extremely helpful. They provide friendly and informative service and resolve my problem with patient. The TV service is really valuable. I can see my favorite TV show there. Highly Recommended~! I will definitely visit the store again if I have any other questions!
