Nobel.com Rips people off with their Phone Cards

WARNING on Nobel.com's RIP OFF PHONE CARDS!!!!! BUYERS BEWARE!!!

This is to INFORM & WARN unsuspecting customers about Nobel.com's OVER-CHARGING $$ on their

advertised Phone Card low rate calls.

Yesterday ( March 15, 2007) I purchased a $20.00 Phone card from Nobel.com's website for their advertised 8.9 cents

per minute. Made 3 calls totaling 35 minutes. May balance went SHOCKINGLY down from $20.00 to $8.00 !!!

That's .34 cents per minute not as advertised 8.9 cents I purchased. Customer said what I bought was for landline calls

and not cell phone. Their website just put tiny link (no pics) on cell phone calls. I just found also they they charged me another

$2.00 for not purchasing their $40.00 card. Total cost on 35 minute call = $14.00 !!!

Requested to have my remaining $8.00 to convert to Call cell phone card at the rate of 11.64 cents per minute.

I paid extra $12.00 to to purchase the $20. call cell# phone card. I was told also of their advertised savings of 56%. when I use local

access number.

Today ( March 16, 2007 ) with the new $20.00 starting balance, I made a 22 minute call used local access number. ( savings of 56%.)

After 22 minute call my balanced dropped down dramatically to $14.60 !!!

I called customer service and they told me that they deducted .69 cents weekly maintenance fee ( remember, this

is only my first day )..then they adjusted my balance to $15.40 minus the .69 cents weekly maintenance fee.

Granted, I still $3.91 for the 22 minutes call I made. That's about 18 cents per minute not the promised 11.64 cents per minute!!.

Physical Phone Cards sold from the regular stores are 10 cents per minute charges.

BUYERS BEWARE!!!!

I signed up for an nobel account 6 months ago putting $100 in the account.

The "pinless dialing" feature that allows you to specify numbers that can call without entering a pin stopped working.

I contacted their support and was told because I hadn't recharged my account within 6 months they have disabled that feature. I have $80 in my account but they want $20 to re-enable that feature.

Their customer service told me that it was in there terms and conditions, however neither I or they could find where it was stated other than in their customer service manual

Unfortunately, I didn't know about this website...I just feel victim to Nobel.com's false advertizing as well. I purchased a 20.00 card at 2 cents a minute...well, the damn thing lasted me about 60 minutes. So, I, if my math is right, that's about 35 cents a minute - more than 15 times more expensive. Terrible service...very sketchy. Steer clear and buyer beware.
