Texting while on a Fongo call

Post by mh1983 »

Hi,

Is it possible to text from within Fongo while on a Fongo call? I'm in one now and was trying to find a way out of the dialpad/call view, but couldn't find one.

Any help is appreciated. TIA!

With Android, you can add the message screen shortcut widget to your homescreen that allows you to launch right into the message screen while you are on a call. It isn't possible to do with the iOS version at this time.

Thanks, Jeff! I'm on BB10, so I'm guessing it's not possible there? (I know the app is an Android port, but the OS can't do widgets).

Not a dealbreaker; just wanted to see if it was possible. Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately not, there are no widgets in BB10 like there is with Android.
