Pingo Contest: Who Ya Gonna Call?

Sunshine Rewards and Pingo have teamed up to bring you our newest contest, Who Ya Gonna Call?

The rules are simple: Between now and midnight Eastern on February 28, post in this thread the answer to the following question:

"If you had a Pingo gift card and could call anyone, anywhere in the world, who would it be and why?"

We will randomly choose 10 winners and each will win a $10 calling card from Pingo.

What's more, Pingo has been gracious enough to extend an offer to us from now until the end of the month where every member of Sunshine Rewards can not only buy a $20 card and get an extra $5, but also take $5 off! Plus, when you shop through Sunshine Rewards between now and Feb. 28, you will earn 5.00 credits. See SR for details.

So whether you are buying a Pingo card to keep in an emergency, call your long-distance best friend, or give as a gift, everyone is winner in this contest!

I would call one of my best friend Cindi in Ponta Goda Fl, they have been thru so much with living thru not one but two huricannes. Cindi has Ms and they just found out that her daughter who just turn 21 two weeks ago also has MS. She just need poeple to talk to and support her.

I'd call my brother in Michigan and ask to speak to his 2 yr old..... He's a hoot!

I just joined the soldier's angels and I am getting my first care package ready so to me it would make a wonderful present to send to my "adopted angel soldier" so he can call his family....

I would call my DH's cousins in Vegas and Utah. Ever since he lost his mom in October, he has been talking about getting back in touch with relatives he has lost touch with. You dont realize how important family is until you lose a special part of one!

If I could call anyone in the word I would call. . . some friends that are moving to Indonesia for 2 years. :(

I would call our friends who just moved to Germany for work!

If I had a $10 Pingo calling card I would call my sister. She is pregnant and her due date is tomorrow, Feb 22. I would use the card to call her after her baby comes so I can hear all about how they are doing! :cooldance:

Cary

I would call the High School Group from church who is going to the Dominician Republic for a month to help build a new school. They did it last year and quite a few were getting homesick half way through and it really encouraged them when a bunch of us emailed/called them.

If I got this phone card I would call my best friend Char (another member). She lives in Springfield Missouri. We actually grew up together here in California just 1 house away and then moved back to Alabama when her parents decided the grass was greener there. Several years ago she packed up her hubby and kids and moved to Missouri. I haven't seen her since our trip last August to Disneyworld and then before that was right before Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. She is the only one who really understands my life besides my hubby and I miss her so much.

Kim

I would actually give it to my cousin who is in Iraq right now.He just recently got promoted to Lance Corporal and his DD2 is living with her grandpa. Until David gets home. I am very proud of David for many years he was just plain mad and getting into trouble all the time, running away and doing whatever he could to get away. Finally after some changes took place he went into the Marines and has done a 360 degree change. I wish I could send a pingo card to all of them over there but that wouldnt be realistic. What would be is for me to send it to him so he could call his little one back home.

I would call my best friend. She moved last year, only 1 hour away, but it seems like forever away. We used to talk EVERY day. Now we talk a few times a week. We miss seeing and talking regularly. It has been a hard adjustment for both of us.

If I was given a $10 gift card for long distance phonecalls I would call walt disney dining every day the week of June 23rd to make my ADR's for our upcoming christmas holiday in wdw. Its long distance to call in Canada and I always get put on hold for a LONG time so my phonebill adds up!

:rotfl:

I would call my girlfriend Denise in Ireland..........we met when we were both traveling in France in 1993 and she was living in the States for quite some time, but as of this past August she moved back to Ireland to be closer to her mom and siblings............My girls miss her very much and so do I!!!

Pamela

This is a tough one. I would probably use it to call my mother on her birthday since I can't be there with her. Or I might use it to call my best friend who lives on the other side of the country from me :(

I would call my husband serving in Iraq so my son could talk to Daddy on his birthday.

If I had a $10 Pingo calling card, I would bring it with me on our Mediterranean Cruise in May and use it to call my family at home and tell them how much fun I'm having! :rotfl:

I'd use it to call my person, who's having family issues.

I would call my penpal, Junko, who lives in Japan. We've been friends for nearly two decades, starting when we were both 16 years old. We began writing one another when our schools participated in a penpal program in 1988--before the internet! We started out writing letters, graduated to the internet in 1998 and have talked to one another a few times over the past ten years. We spend so much time asking "WHAT?!" when we're talking so the phone bill adds up quickly! I would love to have a "freebie" phone call so I didn't feel so guilty about all those "WHAT'S?!" :p

(Sorry for being so long-winded.)

I'd like to call my best friends, one of whom is in Brazil and the other who is in Ecuador!

I'd use it to call my mom back in Seattle. We moved to Sarasosota three years ago and I really miss her.

if i had a pingo gift card i would call my friend mark in ireland. it's been over 2 years since i've really talked to him & he just got engaged in december. it would be great to tell him congrats & give him some heart felt advice orally than through the computer.

I would use this card to call my best friend in the whole world. Kylie lives in Melbourne Australia. She was here a year ago and I miss her dearly. The girls are always asking to talk to auntie Kylie, it would be fantastic!

Does the "world" cover Heaven? If so, I would call my Dad. He has been dead for over 5 years, and I never got to see him to say good-bye. I would like to ask him how he is doing.

I would use my Pingo card to call home when I'm out of the country on my Disney Cruise next year.:sunshine:

If I won I would give my Pongo card to my Mom. She recently had a car wreck in which she was stuck inside her car for over 1 hr while rescue workers tried to get her out. As a result of the accident she broke her left shoulder and her back at l2 and L4. She lives on a fixed income so she has no long distance calling on ehr phone.
Since she is now confined to bed she could really use it to call her BF in PA.

I would save it until the summer. Every summer my SIL goes to visit her family in Rio and takes my 2 nephews. The kids really miss their cousins and would love to be able to call Brazil and talk to them!

i would use it to let my brother in law call his parents in india he spends so much money on phone cards to do that it would be nice to be able to help him and my sister out!

If I could, I would mail it to a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan. Calling cards are GREATLY appreciated over there.

If I won the Pingo calling card, I would use it to call my BFF (I'm 40 and it sounds so weird to use that term, but that's what she is!!) She used to live across the street from me but moved to China over the summer and is moving to Germany next summer and I am moving to California!!!

I'd call my dad... it is hard living on the opposite coast from him... I'm really close to my father, but don't get to see or talk to him enough.

It would also make a great stocking stuffer for the kids to be able to keep in contact with friends who have moved away... or even for them to be able to talk to grandparents whenever they wanted to.

I would called my best friend in high school. Its been so long and too many years since we've talked.

Ghostbusters

Sorry couldn't resist. Actually I would probably either use it to catch up with friends back in Texas or give it to a co-worker whose husband is undergoing chemo

If I had to use it, I would call my best friend. She moved to Houston (3 hours away) and it just doesn't seem right to not see her ALL the time and visit EVERY day.

If I could give it away, I would give it to my brother. He just got reassigned and will be heading to his new post, Fort Polk, Sunday.

I would call a very good friend of mine who lives in Georgia. We became friends when i was 18 and she moved when I was 24. It has been a long time as I am now over 40. We try to talk every couple of months. To catch up. I wish she could come home for a visit but her mom is ill

i would call my parents in India as i miss them alot.I love them toooooooooooooooooooooooo much i can't explain.I'll call my younger brother who is so sweet and i love him too much.He also miss me alot.I hope i will win this.

I WOULD CALL MY CHILDREN IN KENTUCKY, UNFORTUNATELY THEY LIVE WITH THEIR FATHER PART-TIME AND ME PART-TIME, AND WHEN EVER THEY AREN'T WITH ME FOR ONE IT BREAKS MY HEART AND FOR ANOTHER MY KIDS GET VERY UPSET AND WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON THE PHONE NOW THAT i THINK WE ARE ALL READY SUPPORTING MOST OF THE FAMILYS OF AT&T!:cry:
WE COULD USE ANY HELP WITH THIS!:) AND PINGO'S CONTEST WOULD BE THE PERFECT WAY OF HELPING US WITH THIS!

I think I would give it to my grandmother since she doesn't have long distance and is currently undergoing chemo so she could call her brother in Washington.

If I won a Pingo calling card, I would call my best friend in Tennessee. We don't get to talk nearly enough, so when we do it's usually for a couple hours. Having a free calling card would keep my DH from having a heart attack when he sees the phone bill! :rotfl:

If I won a phone card from Pingo - I would stash it in my wallet for an emergency. I have a cell; but I am famous for pulling it out of my purse and it being dead. Yes, I forgot to charge it AGAIN!
