RingGo: Mobile Car Parking App

I am British but currently live in France and have a French phone. You cannot pay with a non uk phone by app or telephone call and because there are no longer ticket machines. Shoreditch example. Signs saying “pay by phone”; the name of another app. However I know it is RingGo. Call number. Does not work with a non UK phone. Yes I tried 0044, +44 and plain old 020. Ok. Get app. App does not accept non Uk phone number. Ok. Pay at meter. Oh. No meters. They took them away because …. Well In have no idea. God knows what old people do. To pay for parking first had a friend pay for me and then bought a Uk sim card just so I could pay. I then had to delete my old uk account. No idea why. Probably because I have a FR RingGo account. Probably have to go through the same BS in FR now. So they do not do international customers but do make sure there are just enough links to truly PYO. Long review? Well nothing compared to the time and money I have spent today just trying to pay for parking due to this Steaming T of an app and company.

Nul. Impossible de me reconnecter. Impossible de recevoir un code ni par mail ni par message. Impossible d’enregistrer la plaque d’immatriculation de ma voiture. Donc: nul!

Can receive sms if you have a french number

Pour recevoir le SMS de création de compte si vous avez un mobile d’un autre pays (le mien est français) il faut d’abord mettre 00 puis l’indicatif de votre pays (33 pour France) avant le numéro de téléphone

This app is only for RU résident !!!! Don’t use it if you come from other country and good luck to find a way to pay if you haven’t coins !! I would never recommend ! Tried to use it in Glasgow never works !!

Lorsque l’on quitte plutôt la destination

The registration in the app sent the sms confirmation, one day after. And the phone number doesn’t accept international number as +3306XXXXXXXX. Tou need to enter 003306XXXXXXXX. Definitely not for tourists which haven’t a local phone number. Fix it quickly because it is not usable in the current state.

I tried several times to pay with it and no way… I had to enter a shop and get some change to pay. Bugs timeouts difficulties to charge the vehicles and finally crashes I wish I could other apps working well

No possibility to cancel or shorten once paid, only possibility given is to extend. Once one leaves the parking spot, possibility should be given to flag it and get reimbursement for unused period. Else the app is getting revenue for an unprovided service. In some countries this is illegal, understandably so.

On holiday to the UK can’t register because it doesn’t recognize foreign numbers... must be an nice app but kinda stupid !
