Who is responsible when the ALO international phone cards do not work properly?

I bought an ALO international phone card from a vending machine in the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. But the card doesn’t work properly. I called their customer service, they only speak in English and they told me that the customer service and the phone card company are not the same company. I found the ALO cards website, wrote 2 emails, but they were “rejected by the recipient domain”.
So the questions I would like to ask are: do you know who is the person in charge for those cards? And how to have my money back?

You got scammed. A lot of these cards used to be scams. They had 5 minute minimums for each call. Get an answering machine and you lose 5 minutes. They expired in 90 days even tho you bought 2,000 minutes; and nowhere on the card did it warn you of that.
ALO cheated you. You could ask the District Attorney is she would call the company for you. She works to protect the public from scams..

What Makes Card Vending Machines So Appealing?

There has been an increasingly steady in the number of prepaid card vending machines in the last year alone. According to experts, the largest benefit of vending machines over traditional over-the-counter sales is convenience. Because prepaid card purchases are generally point-of-sale buys, it is very important to offer cards wherever and whenever the customers need them. This is where vending machines come into the picture. With only 30 percent of the vending locations being utilized, there is a huge market with potential growth in this sector.

Studies have shown reported that most mainstream customers are now using vending machines to make prepaid card purchases instead of going to the store. Many of these machines are placed in high-traffic areas like train terminals and other areas where consumers are most likely to need and purchase these cards. So an appropriately placed card vending machine can equate to big money. Since most retailers are acknowledging the success of these machines, many are keen on purchasing them as can be seen by industry sales figures. On average, suppliers have been shipping 100 units per week for the last two years with no signs of slowing down.

Currently, the most popular locations that you would find these machines are truck stops, recreational areas, convenience stores and 24-hour unsupervised locations. Manufacturers of card vending machines are introducing new features to provide more products and convenience all the time. For example, instead of selling only phone cards, some newer models can dispense soda and snacks in addition to them. Even so, industry experts believe that most customers prefer simple machines. Traditional vending operators have now accepted the viability and the reliability of the card vending delivery systems. Also many reputable phone card suppliers are setting up special departments to cater to the merchandising of specific product lines.

Can you Use a Prepaid O2 SIM card in your iphone?

alright i see them in vending machines over here and they have really good deals. So since my iphone can connect to those services with my AT&T card can i use a prepaid SIM bought over here and go to france with it.

oh yah i can also hack my phone if needed ove done in before…but i would rather preserve the baseband

oh if anyone needs help hacking there iphone i can really help as well

Let me check that your iphone is a american handset. If it is then….

you cant use a o2 sim card with your phone unless you unlock the phone (hack the baseband). Your at&t card will work with o2 over here with your US mobile number because o2 and at&t have a “roaming agreement” where they can use each others international phones on each others networks.
