The past few weeks have been insane here at mingo Wireless! You wouldn’t know it unless you were here with us but we’ve been tweaking systems and software left and right to bring you an even higher level of service. We’re really proud of everything we’ve done lately so we wanted to share some of it with you here on mingoTalk. Rather than dump it all on you at once we’re going to break it down into a small series of posts on the blog. There really is that much to tell you!

The first thing we want to talk about is security. Security is huge on people’s minds these days and rightly so. Identity theft is constantly on the rise and people are checking their credit card activity daily to make sure that someone isn’t using their credit card number.

Did you know that your credit card information isn’t stored anywhere on mingo’s servers? Not only that but when you access your account on mingowireless.com, it’s encrypted with a 256 bit encryption key to prevent people from seeing your information as it goes across the internet. That’s essentially the same level of security that the government uses to encrypt confidential information. Rest assured that mingo Wireless treats your information as Top Secret!

When you submit your credit card information to establish your account with mingo, it’s passed securely to Authorize.Net, an industry leader in online credit card transactions and security. Then, when we need to charge you, Authorize.Net passes us a secure token which grants us access only to what we need in order to refill your account or pay for service.

We’re good but Authorize.Net is like Fort Knox for credit cards. We’d rather give our customers the peace of mind knowing that their confidential information is tucked away as safely as we can possibly provide.

Using Authorize.Net is just one way that mingo Wireless uses technology to provide a level of service you won’t find anywhere else on the pre-paid market. In our next post we’ll talk about how you’re able to manage your account from mingowireless.com instead of having to use pre-paid cards like our competition. For us it’s about more than just great phones or great coverage – it’s about providing superior service through superior software. Stay tuned – you’ll be amazed at what we can do for you!

If youʼve been a pre-paid customer for a while then you already know one of the cornerstones of getting the most for your money. Itʼs the same concept that gets you into your local shopping warehouse club: Buy in bulk and save cash.

Weʼre going to dive into the numbers in this post and show you exactly how much you can save through mingo Wireless.

First, you already know youʼre saving money with us versus using a contract carrier. But, depending on the refill you buy from us, we can save you even more. For example, weʼll start with a nice round number – 500 minutes. We give you 120 days to use them and they cost you 35 dollars. Over that same 6 month period, a contract carrier would have charged you over $250. Again, with mingo, buying what you want when you need it saves you cash.But letʼs look at the ultimate cash saver which has to be our $100 refill. Thereʼs a reason this is our top seller – it just doesnʼt get any better for our customers. Minutes? 1500 for starters and weʼll throw an extra 500 on top of that on the house. Texts? Weʼll give you 100 of them. And, you get a full year before any of it expires. 2000 minutes, 100 texts, and a full year to use it all. 100 dollars. Thatʼs mingo Wireless.

Whatʼs not mingo Wireless? Over that same year, youʼd have paid a contract carrier over $500 at a minimum. Why keep paying them for time youʼre not using?

Remember when the only people who could get data, texting, and pics were the ones who had contracts on their cell phones? Theyʼd pay for their phones, sign contracts for their minutes, and then sign more contracts for more data and texts. This was all more than theyʼd ever need and theyʼd almost never use everything theyʼd paid for. Such a waste!

At mingo, we give you a way of avoiding all that. Itʼs called mingoFlex. You know about it, you see it on your account, but you might not know just how important it is to your mingo Wireless service. We get a few questions about it every month so we want to tell you a little more about how it works.

mingoFlex is the money you set aside in your account to pay for all the things you do with your phone that might not be covered by your regular plan. Itʼs kind of like checking into a hotel: Youʼve already paid for the room but they always ask you for a credit card number to cover “incidentals” like movies, snacks, or room service charges.

Thatʼs mingoFlex. Youʼve already paid for your phone service – thatʼs why youʼre a pre-paid customer. But what if you want to send a quick text or share a quick pic?

mingoFlex lets you do that without tying you into a contract. To use it, all you have to do is make sure that thereʼs always some money in your mingoFlex cash account when you log on to mingowireless.com. If there isnʼt any money there and you try to use a service then bad things can happen (we wonʼt come steal your favorite shoes or anything but your service will be suspended until that balance becomes positive again).

Now, if youʼre a frequent texter or always surfing from your phone then you definitely want to get on one of our pre-paid text and data plans. Itʼll save you a TON. But, if youʼre not and all you do is send the occasional text or pic then mingoFlex is perfect for you.

So, just like having a credit card on file at the hotel for the little things you use to make your stay more enjoyable, mingoFlex is your key to making sure that you get the most out of your mingoWireless service.

Itʼs fast and secure through mingowireless.com and it ensures that your service keeps flowing. Why not check your account today?
