The fastest way to call

I started using VIP for my foreign calls not too long but am loving what am experiencing thus far. My sister have been with them for over 5 years now & she’s always happy with the results as well so she inducted me into the family. I recommend it to everybody to use it. It’s fast, safe & secure.

VIP has been servicing my cars over the years, many years. They always did right by me. They are highly professional and knowledgeable and they always go beyond the extra mile for their customers. I will never go anywhere else to have my car serviced. Thank you VIP!

I should have known sooner about VIP…

I should have known sooner about VIP Communications. But late is better than never, and VIP Communication is here to stay!

VIP Communication is much better than any system that I have previously used, including Whatsapp, Viber ( with all their ads and call interruptions ), and Calling Cards, which scheme on stealing money and provide poor service.

VIP Communications is now my choice for connecting with friends and relatives abroad. And I am very happy with it.

The system is efficient. You will discover that once you subscribe to it. You call their 800 number, next dial the access code that you are given and then call your destination number and VOILA! You are talking to the person you wanted on the other side of the globe.

It's effective and achieving

I'm so exited to be able to speak to my people in Kenya after a long absence from them. You see what; it's direct, instant and no delay of having to wait as it's experienced using wifi.

Good customer service

I gave a 4 star because the call setup procedure on the website doesn’t include you calling the customer service for final setup.
I did all what the procedure says but when I tried to make a call using the app, it said my pin was invalid until I called the customer service and the lady had to do something on her end.
Other than this, the call clarity was awesome and having a $10 bonus was a plus.

Call Privacy Concerns!

Been a VIP Connect user for 10+ years. I would rate this service as fair to good on most days.
However I've recently noticed that calls made to Nairobi (actually Kenya as a whole) display a local number on the recipient caller ID rather than the callers number. I found this quite suspicious and notconvinced calls are guaranteed privacy.
This wasn't the practice when I started using the service.
If a call recipient has Truecaller app installed it displays the call as initiating from some random Kenyan numbers and names not related to the caller initiating the call/VIP account holder.

Convenient access for international calls

Checking and Reloading funds is easy and convenient. Rates for international call are average. Also dialing out is odd but you will get used to it after using it a few times.

I have an account with VIP that I have not used for years.
I called them to activate it and they were very helpful and efficient.
They even applied my old balance to my new account, now that’s good honest service !

VIP is good for its quick connection

VIP is good for its quick connection. A friend introduced it to me thinking it is cheaper than boss revolution. But the way I am being charged, I don't think it is. For transparency, I recommend that the company should display the amount charged for each call.

I was deceived

I was deceived. I was advised that $10 will give me 204minutes but it gave me only120minutes. Moreover my calls were interrupted several times at a rate of $1.00 per five minutes.
After the first purchase, though not satisfied, I said let me try again, may be it was an isolated case and thus recharged but it became worst. Most of the interrupted call happened after the recharge proving that it was not isolated case.
I'm disappointed beyond measure.
I want my money back!

James,

We're so sorry to hear about this! We appreciate your feedback so we have the opportunity to address all your concerns.

After looking over your account, we noticed you weren't setup with the correct rates. We have made a change so you get the special intro rate for Nigeria which will give you 204 minutes for $10. We've also added $10 back on your account for the inconvenience.

A technician is also looking over the calls that gave you trouble and will make the necessary adjustments. They will contact you if they need more information when they are troubleshooting.

A supervisor has also been trying to reach you as well. We will try another couple times to reach you so we can address all the issues.

When I open this account last week I…

When I open this account last week I added a $10 credit which allowed me to make clear international phone calls. I was so excited that I have finally found a reliable phone provider. TO my recent surprise, I added another $10 credit the other day but I have not been able to hear a word from any one I have called to date. That is not what I look for in a international phone provider. If the quality of service does not improve, I will have to look for one that can provide acceptable quality of service.

Hi Mark, I'm sorry but your order did not meet our security standards so it was rejected. The pending transaction will drop off within 3-5 business days. Please note we did not accept the transaction so you won't see a separate credit after the pending period, instead you'll see the original transaction that was pending drop off your statement.
