I purchase many calling cards from your company online living in Durango, Colorado.

Last week or so I bought a SOLO AFRICA calling card which at some point of use promised me 18 minutes. I made a call and it didn’t go through so I redialed. The automated system said now I have 14 minutes and I was done talking to my South African contact when it ended at eight (8) minutes!

I feel cheated. Please give me my (many, many) minutes back. This cheating me of my minutes (money) went a little far. I bought two $5 calling cards today, but if I don’t hear a response I’ll reconsider doing business with you and I will share this story to friends and family, many who use your site.

Minutes disappear right in front of me and I can do nothing about it?! Do you think you can play games with people’s money assuming they are immigrants to the U.S. and they will do nothing about it? Think about it.

What is sad is this cheating your customers of minutes they PURCHASED happens often and I try to ignore it because customer service numbers often lead to nothing.

The SOLO AFRICA customer service number (877-800-2463), for instance, will never have anyone pick up. It just refers one back to your website.

Let’s see if I get a response to my comment from you and possibly a solution to our problem.

Sincerely
Disappointed Customer

Spring, desert camping is one thing people look forward to around the Four Corners and I've been dying to do! So, there I was with five friends out in Utah on the weekend of April 14. The image with the horse is as we entered the area. Not much story (from me) there, just a different kind of lovely view. The wide view is more rock formations with people barely showing up at the bottom-right part of the picture. Throwing people or any living thing helps a lot of people place themselves "there" to know the scale and take it all in. For people like me very new to camping (it's a shame when one's been in Colorado and in their mid-20s, eh?) the stack of rocks at the bottom-left is called a "cairin." These are your guides through the desert where sometimes the trail disappears and you just follow the man-made formations.

"I'd rather be at the beach!"  Yeah, I hear some saying that and other things I wish for also. Yes, me, too, if it involved a week-long trip. But there's something to be said about all these different types of places on earth. You notice how much human beings do or can do to help, or mess up the environment and its worth learning about through books and Google. It's better checking out in person.
