  1. [R1] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Scammers: I’m very disappointed with this business. I was told my order was delivered, but I never received it. After contacting customer service, I was not given a clear solution or proper help. It feels like I was misled and lost my money without receiving the product I paid for. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.
  2. [R19] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Abdul: I have topped up my nephew’s mobile number 3 times using ding and it never reached him although the app cut the money from my account
  3. [R25] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Does not work: Tried recharging phone number overseas and it did not work. They are trying to avoid refunding. Never use this app.
  4. [R31] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Top up not received: Ding does not deliver top ups efficiently, waited two whole days waiting for a top up to be delivered and when I reached out company declined to help and told me to wait even more for a resolution.
  5. [R6] Ding Top-up 3/5 · US EXPENSIVE 💰: The app works great but is expensive to send a load as they give you crappy exchange rates. For example today: Philippines Current exchange rate ₱57.46 = $1.00 So a ₱500 should cost around $8.70 Instead they charge $13.99 That’s a $5.29 difference… or in pesos a ₱303.96 difference. That’s a huge markup. As soon as I find a different way to top off I will no longer use Ding
  6. [R9] Ding Top-up 3/5 · US Increased Rate: I know that in the US, everything went up because of the idiot Joe Biden taking orders from Barrack Obama. But your increased in pricing is hurting the recipients more because the sender (from the US) also have to adjust expenses.
  7. [R10] Ding Top-up 2/5 · US txtx: The fees is so high
  8. [R13] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Expensive: You have to pay 3 times more of what they receive in country you’re sending. Scam app
  9. [R4] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US THEY WILL BAN YOU FOR NO REASON: I discovered I was banned for literally using the app for the reason it was made to be used. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s insane. Now I’ll take my business elsewhere. They didn’t even allow me to appeal, I talked with an agent about my issue and then 30mins later they told me that I need to find somewhere else to go because I’m banned. I used to love this app
  10. [R12] Ding Top-up 3/5 · GB Data works well, a few issues with the service: Purchased a 20 gig E-sim for Morocco twice. Data worked smoothly. However both times I was given 18 gigs of Data instead of 20. Also once the purchase is complete both times they did not send me a QR code with my email so I had to get the link from customer support who were helpful
  11. [R33] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Technical issues: If you have technical transactions issues, you have to cancel the transaction not putting the order in hold ,there is no option to cancel besides calling the company
  12. [R37] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Can’t send TopUp: It’s been a week and I’ve been trying to send a TopUp to a friend in Tonga but it keeps on saying to contact the bank cause I can’t make any transactions so I did. The American savings bank says I can be able to use my card on any transaction I want. What is actually wrong with this? Is it because the operator is facing some technical issues?
