didn’t even know it costs

I didn’t even know it costs. I’ve been looking at instagram and saw some comments of someone’s photo that what sponsored by Bongo. Some people ask if it cost, so I tested it, so dumb I was. It said that one message cost’s 35kr (sweden) so I went to instagram to the profile again and I commented a comment, like it cost’s. Some minute later our both comments was all gone. But I think that it was the girl that has the profile. Just so anyone couldn’t seen it. So everyone should go and test it.

SCAM

This is a scam. If you believe that this thing is real you're dumb. Maybe you think like "Oh, I saw the YouTuber x and Bongo got it right for them". Yeah, because they are sponsored and the message was made special for them, dumbass.

This is a scam

This is a scam. They have taken £130+ from my account saying I used them. Never heard of them till my phone company informed me who had charged me. I also have no text messages to show me contacting them.
Given number to call but they just said no manager and they were 3rd party company and could not deal so had to send an email to ask for refund.

AWFUL

They continued to tell me stuff not warning me that after a few texts my phone bill would be £25 OVER THE LIMIT. Ridiculous and it aims itself at vulnerable teenagers who assume that what they're reading is true without warning them of the cost

A f****ng rip off aimed at children

A f****ng rip off aimed at children. They charge 35 SEK per text you send them. If you don't send any in a while they start bombarding you with texts reading "Congratulations! Another person is interested in you!" or "Someone has heard gossip about you!".

Low life company, hope they all get permanently infected with coronavirus.

I cannot access free wi-fiGrrrrrrrrr.

I am at Newark international Airport and I am trying to access Bongo free Wi-Fi. I am computer savvy. There is no way to access the free Wi-Fi. After trying all of the prompts it brought me to a login page but there was no opportunity to select a username and password. Ultimately I could not access the Free Wi-Fi website. Sam R
