Oblio has come full circle, announcing that they will now be using Smartalk again for all of it's prepaid phone cards. Oblio had been with Smartalk for most of the first half of this decade but then left for Sprint, with whom they partnered to be able to expand their prepaid mobile business. While it is not clear if Sprint shut them down or that Oblio was just unhappy with the service, Smartalk will now be the provider of choice going forward.
If hindsight is 20/20 then they are probably thinking they should not have left for Sprint in the first place.
It looks as if Oblio and it's parent company Titan Global Holdings are at least trying to turn around the business and bring it back on course but unfortunately there has been too much damage to consumer confidence and distributor relationships to be able to solve the problems just by switching carriers... might be too little too late!

Oblio is a scam, they have ripped off so many customers and distributors. Even if you contact their customer service or attorneys they wont replace the cards that were bought from their company. They just want to say that the cards are counterfeit, even thought they are the company that sold them. I suggest all distributors that got burned through Oblio contact the Texas Attorney Generals' office, it's easily found on Google and they have an easy online complaint form. The response I got from the AGO's office was better than the response from Oblio. If enough distributors complain, the AGO's office will get involved. Keep your invoices and payment records, I'm keeping the cards as well so maybe we can do something.
