A clear explanation of the free experience
What “Free to Start” Means
You can begin matching without paying upfront while a free match allowance is available. This allowance is a limited, product-controlled count rather than unlimited free use.
After the allowance is used, or when a paid call applies, continued use may require Coins, VIP benefits or another option shown in TingoChat. Any free-call timing offered by the product is also variable, so this page does not promise a fixed free duration.
No hidden “unlimited” claim. Your current allowance and any next-step options are shown inside the product experience.
