FONGO MOBILE INTERNET USAGE

When you're 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 you're calling on WiFi, you can call nearly for as long as you'd like. When you're not on a call, Fongo Mobile uses a minimal amount of data to listen for incoming calls.

IMPORTANT

• Supported devices: Supports Android (Nougat OS 7.0 and higher), Chrome OS
• Supported Wear OS devices: Wear OS 2.0 or higher
• 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.

Ratings and reviews

App stalls and hangs too often. Only one person can talk at a time. The other side will not receive my responses unless I wait about 1 second until he/she has completely stopped talking. It is quite annoying trying to have a fluent conversation like this. Skype is much better, by a very long shot, but does not offer a phone number in Canada. Good service, bad quality. Thanks anyway.

If I can give a minus 5 stars, I will. The app is trash. Not reliable at all. I am not able to receive calls or sms sometimes even with the app opened. The only reason I kept this app is because I used to be able to receive sms from my overseas bank, now I can't. And it is VERY VERY disappointing. Will definitely switch to other app.

Great overall experience with these guys, reliable mobile service and last but not least, the price. The best deal out there for my needs. The only downfalls that I have experienced is slow customer service and poor audio/choppy quality for the other person during a call. I have tried every setting to get the audio to be clear for the listener on wifi, but have been unable to figure it out. I have solid 400mb/sec internet and have even changed routers to no improvement.
