What I meant in my post is that when I tried calling the 1-888-YO-PINGO #, I just got the operator saying the call couldn't be completed as dialed.
When I used the local access number I was given, it worked fine. So my card is activated properly, far as I can see. So I am not sure if I'm only supposed to this local access number to start my calls, or if there is an 800 number that would actually work to go thru like other phone card I have had.
Anyway, thanks for the responses and the help!
I just dialed the 1888 number you have listed and it worked. It asks for your pingo account number so be sure to have that ready.
If you think you know all the answers, it just means you haven't been asked all the questions.
