In order to use Fongo/Dell, I signed up there as well. Now I have two numbers, the old one in Alberta, the new one in Vancouver.

So is FPL a brand of Fongo? or is Fongo a brand of FPL? or is Fongo completely separate to FPL?
Sorry for the confusion Steve, I am just trying to understand how things have changed, if indeed they have
I assumed that FPL would be re-branded into Fongo. But FPL is still live, and currently there is no way to sign up or login at fongo.ca
The fact that everything seems to point to DellVoice I assumed (incorrectly it would seem) that DellVoice was now the place where we would sign up for an account.
Maybe I just misunderstood what was going on.
Have I got this right? -
1. FPL will stay as it always has been, apart from now it is badged up as being "Powered by Fongo" rather than being it's own "Power"
2. DellVoice is basically another BudPhone (and FPL?) that is powered by Fongo. It just has different functions and options.
3. There won't be a way to "sign up" on Fongo, it is just a parent/power domain that will send people to whoever is sponsoring the system at the time (Bud, Dell, etc)
Sometimes I feel I should stop thinking It just seems to make me more confused.

The Alberta number works with Google Voice because when you signed up to GV they considered area code 403 to be a US number.
Google has since stopped recognizing 403 numbers in this way. You can no longer get a US GV account using a 403 number. Indeed you can no longer change your GV settings for that 403 number or change the number to some other Canadian area code. So if you get your FPL 403 number changed to a Vancouver area code you'll no longer be able to use GV. And if you change your DV/Fongo number to your 403 area code, people who call you will have to pay for long distance.
Or am I missing something? (I hope so because I'm in the same situation as you are on this issue.)

Can I use my FPL on my Android?
I am hoping that I would be able to do so rather than get a new number at DV.
FONGO_kris wrote:Yes, of course. You may call in to our call center to transfer the number from one account to the other.

I posted in another thread, but I must have done something wrong... it's not there Today I finally phoned Fongo to make the number transfer, and I was told in no uncertain terms NO, we can't do that. I really, REALLY want to start using the Android app together with Google Voice... did you disable the possibility to transfer my FPL number to Dell Voice?
