Fongo is a free communication application designed for Canadians, allowing users to make unlimited calls and send texts across the country. With a unique feature that enables users to select their own local Canadian phone number, Fongo facilitates seamless connectivity without the burden of traditional mobile plans. The application supports free incoming calls and texts, making it particularly useful for individuals traveling abroad who wish to avoid international charges.

Utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, Fongo ensures that calls and messages are transmitted over the internet, eliminating long-distance fees within Canada. Essential features such as voicemail, call display, and call forwarding enhance the user experience. However, users should be aware that internet connectivity is crucial for call quality, and charges apply for international calls to non-Fongo numbers, despite the availability of optional in-app purchases for credits.

HOW WE MAKE FONGO FREE

Fongo is disrupting the mobile communications world with one simple concept: Free. We make use of advances in technology, an innovative business model and word-of-mouth marketing, and pass the savings on to you (so tell your friends!). Our revenue comes from optional add-on features, pre-paid worldwide calling credits, and in-app ads.

FONGO IS NEW

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians are already using our mobile service. And we're growing incredibly fast as more and more people discover they no longer have to pay expensive mobile phone bills. You don't need to cancel your current mobile contract to try Fongo, just add the free app to your phone and start calling and messaging for free. You be the judge.

USE FONGO OUTSIDE OF CANADA

If you're travelling abroad, avoid expensive long-distance and data roaming charges by connecting to WiFi before using Fongo to call or message. Once you're connected to WiFi, call back to any of our Free Calling Cities, or call and message other Fongo users, for free. From anywhere in the world.

FONGO DATA USAGE

When you're connected on a call, Fongo uses 0.5MB of data per minute so a 500MB data plan = 1000 minutes of talk time. If you're calling on WiFi, you can pretty much talk forever. When you're not on a call, Fongo uses a minimal amount of data to listen for incoming calls.

IMPORTANT

Supported devices: Supports Android (Ice Cream Sandwich OS 4.0 and higher)

To use Fongo you must be connected to a 3G, 4G or WiFi data connection and you must create a Fongo account. If your data signal strength is weak or your connection speed is slow, this app may not function properly.

If you disable notifications, you will not receive incoming calls.
