How it works
To you, and the person you're calling, Fongo works exactly like every phone you've ever used.
To you, and the person you're calling, Fongo works exactly like every phone you've ever used.
Fongo uses Voice-Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to place and receive calls and send and receive messages using your existing data plan (3G/4G) or nearby WiFi connection and Fongo's nationwide network.
Fongo can help you save hundreds of dollars even if you're under contract with a mobile carrier.
With Fongo:
When you're connected on a call, Fongo uses 0.5MB of data per calling minute so a 500MB data-plan gives you approximately 1000 calling minutes per month.
Note: Switching between WiFi and data during a call is not supported.
Have an iPod touch or iPad with WiFi? It just became your ultimate free phone with no monthly bill.
Signing up for Fongo is quick. Install Fongo on your smartphone, get your new phone number, and start placing calls and sending messages instantly with Fongo. Encourage your friends to call and text you on your new Fongo phone number.
For a $25 one-time fee, you can transfer your existing home or mobile phone number to Fongo. Purchase phone number porting by logging in to your Fongo account at www.fongo.com/login and selecting Online Store.
Call and text from anywhere in the world and save. Simply find a spot with WiFi coverage to place calls or send messages back home. All calls to our Free Calling Cities are free, no matter where you're calling from. Or add World Credits for calls to locations outside of Fongo's Free Calling Cities.
Receive incoming call and message notifications even if you're using another app or your phone is in sleep mode.
