FONGO MOBILE INTERNET USAGE

When youre connected on a call, Fongo Mobile uses 0.5 MB per minute, so a 500 MB data plan will get you 1000 minutes of talk time. If youre calling on WiFi, you can call nearly for as long as youd like. When youre not on a call, Fongo Mobile uses a minimal amount of data to listen for incoming calls.

IMPORTANT

• Supported devices: iPhone (iOS 12.0+), iPod touch (iOS 12.0+), iPad (iOS 12.0+) or Apple Silicon Mac (MacOS 11.0+)
• To use Fongo Mobile, you must have an active internet connection (cellular data, WiFi, or wired) and you must create a Fongo Mobile account. If your data signal strength is weak or your connection speed is slow, this app may not function properly.
• Ensure that your WiFi network or cellular carrier supports VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) traffic.
• If you disable notifications, you will not receive incoming calls.
• Questions or need help configuring your device? Tap Support on the Account screen.
• Have an idea how to improve Fongo Mobile? Tap Feedback on the Account screen.
• Using Fongo Mobile as a default dialer may interfere with dialing 911 emergency services. We recommend using the built-in phone calling app on your phone for 911 calls on Canadian mobile devices (no SIM plan required).

Pros and cons of Fongo - talk and text app for iPhone and iPad

Fongo - talk and text app good for

Been using fongo app for 5 years now, voice quality of phone calls is exceptional. Conversations are always smooth, no stuttering or delay in voices, way better than typical quality of a cellular phone call and as good as regular landline quality. Gets better and better with each update. I happily purchased the ad-free upgrade, thats how much I like fongo! My only gripe is Im still getting anonymous fax spam even though Ive got the Block Anonymous Calls setting turned on. When fongo fixes this ongoing issue app will get 5 stars.
Good app had it for a year now ..... minimal advertising ..... couple glitches but Iam sure they straiten them out
Love this app. I use it daily to make and receive phone calls from my iPad
There are a lot of phone plans with high prices. It can be frustrating. I was frustrated. Then I found Fongo! Honestly, its a really well designed app. Very reliable and easy to use. I use it for almost all of my texting and calling now. My only frustration is that they dont have any Saskatchewan numbers available. Other than that, it is excellent and reliable.
We use it instead of having a landline. Works good & has everything you need.
Excellent app. Some improvements needed. Fongo doesnt get all the text messages from cellphones which makes texting not reliable on this app. On some hospitality networks fongo is blocked although other apps like Skype or hangouts go through.

Some bad moments

I purchased remove ads but the updated app does respond to "restore" button at all. Now I have to use the app with ads. Sucks!
Update: 2016.12.07 - FONGO disclosing phone numbers to 3rd partys - getting spam text and phone calls. On both our iPhone 6s and 7 ringtone does not stay and reverts back to the silent System tone - meaning we never hear phone calls. Rather useless now and worse ported our long time numbers over. We wrote then about the problem and they said they were working on the issue- months and months ago. What could be a higher priority than fixing this????
hang freeze can t call. was great when released but now past 2 years it s slugish
Went from 5 stars to 2. Since the update I make a call and I cant press to cancel the call. The call back button does not call back...
Great idea but connection very unstable on any internet connection.
This app is no good if you need to make a call frequently, everyday. You cannot rely on this. Like myself I dont need it everyday, so its fine. During the call, first 5mins is good, thats it. Whatsapp call works much better. Some SMS/MMS missing for unknown reason, sending and receiving. I will not pay for the text service anymore. To make calls, sometimes you need to wait for the app to load. Its not really on-the-go like usual phone call. Im using this app just for the sake of saving money. But you need to pay that with patience.
