A éviter

⭐ 1/5 — Tarification trompeuse et appels internationaux inutilisables
J’ai acheté 10 $ CAD de crédit pour appeler la France. L’application annonce des tarifs « à partir de 2 ¢/min », mais mes appels vers des mobiles français ont été facturés bien davantage, avec en plus des frais de connexion par appel. Plusieurs appels n’ont même pas fait sonner les téléphones des correspondants et sont pourtant apparus comme des appels facturés. Résultat : 1,34 $ CAD débités en quelques tentatives alors que les correspondants n’ont jamais reçu l’appel. Je trouve cette tarification et cette expérience particulièrement décevantes. À éviter pour les appels vers la France tant que ces problèmes ne sont pas clairement expliqués.

Sorry to hear about your poor experience with our app. Please visit the support section within your Fongo app for help/contact options: (Menu - Account - Support) - If you've already contacted us and are awaiting solution, escalate your case by DMing us on you preferred social media @fongo_mobile (mention that you have been referred by "CD")

Incoming not ringing

Incoming calls are not ringing. It seems you have to open the app, make it active and then only it will receive call. Shouldn't it ring even if app is not opened by the user?
Also please add support option in app where we can reach you with issues

Unable to register

I paid money and I have been unable to register for the last one hour. I even used the service support desk but I’m told I must have a +1 number to raise a ticket which IS A JOKE! I can’t be paying to have a Canadian number because I’m out of Canada and the app asks me to have a +1 before I can submit a ticket. I either need to have a number or get a refund!

Can’t receive calls like it is advertised. Don’t waste your money.

Don’t think twice before using it

I was bit skeptical before using Fongo but believe me it is very useful when you are travelling and need connectivity at lowest cost.

Thank you for your 5 star review! Refer your family & friends - you both get free stuff! Link: fongo.help/fm-refer

preislich super und funktioniert mit allen Apps

Ich nutz hier die Nummer schon länger. Vor allem weil WhatsApp keine Privatsphäre hat. Fongo als Zweit Nummer nur für WhatsApp und halt andere Apps super. Mir selbst reicht ja in Deutschland das SMS Abo da völlig aus. Und für 2,50€ im Monat total günstig. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen ✨

Pas de notification

Je ne reçois jamais les notifications d’appels. Même lorsque je suis en wifi, sans mode économie, avec l’application ouverte. Je n’ai jamais reçu aucun appel. C’est vraiment pas pratique ..

Permits 1-800 calls

This app helps fill the gap after Skype ended: I found it so I could call 1-800 but I will stay with it since I can keep in touch with people. Great app and much needed. Thank you!

Charged me. Did not provide service.

I purchased 1 month of texting. They instead charged me then sent a message, "Due to higher than normal volume fulfillment of your purchase is delayed. Your purchase will be fulfilled shortly." -- what is shortly? 5 minutes? An hour? A day? Don't charge the customer if you cannot fulfill the order...

Can’t receive calls

They still have some work to do on this app. Making calls works fine, but unless you are in the app actively you can’t answer incoming calls. I tried all their debugging steps but nothing worked. It’s a shame because the price is good. If they fix the app I’d consider it again, but as it stands it’s not a replacement for a normal Canadian phone plan.
