Good Points
Their rates are actually what they say!

Bad Points
Frustrating to wait on the validation calls but not a big deal.

General Comments
I used Speedypin for a long while (also tried Nobel, but they were AWFUL in every way). Problem with Speedypin is that when you call one of their cards, it says you have, say, 500 minutes for a call. An hour and a half later, your call has a minute left. I tried almost all the cards available, and a lot of them are bad quality, anyway. AT+T was the only legitimate one, and AT+T has better cards at Sam's Club anyway. Speedypin was always good about giving me extra minutes, but when you have to do that as many times as I did (around an hour a day of calls for about six months out of the last year!), it is just too gueling to tolerate.



Viapin, though, while the prices are higher in list amount, has cards (I mostly use Mega Clean and Stable and sometimes PIN Buddy) that actually last how long they are supposed to, and their prices end up being cheaper in the long run, unless you are willing to contact Speedypin every time you use a card. Sometimes, as with all cheap rate cards, my signal is iffy, but paying 4 cents compared to 15 per minute warrants it for me. The customer service is sometimes a little hard to understand, and anytime your billing address changes they will call to re-validate, but other than that, it's not an issue, since I don't have reason to talk to Customer Service with their cards being reliable in general.
