US Virtual Numbers

[kjmj]

Hello,

It's been advertised for about a year that virtual US numbers would be available n 2012.

With less than 60 days left in 2012, I'm wondering where and when we can expect to see this service available?

Thanks!

"Coming soon"
"Stay tuned"
"Available shortly"
"The cheque is in the mail"

Hi kjmj,

Can you please give us a link where it claims Fongo is announcing U.S. numbers by the end of 2012 please?

Interesting.. it's only a couple of weeks left until the end of this year. hope this won't end up as a false advertising.

Yep, I'm just checking in as I do monthly for word on when virtual numbers may be available. I'd love to have one in the LCA for Warkworth, ON (includes Peterborough, ON) for instance.

I was really hoping they could make it before the end of 2012 because I had been on hold installing the magicjack app on my android mobile phone. I believe I should now go ahead with the install as it allows me to make calls to both US and Canada land/mobile numbers for free (ala Fongo apps, except Fongo is only within Canada).

I really can not ask much about the advertised feature specially in December 2012 when we saw the biggest interruption in Fongo's service. I preferred to have the service fixed than have the feature added to a NON-working phone service.

BTW as of this writing, the advertisement page is still there in huge "Coming 2012". So, is it false advertising? http://www.freephoneline.ca/optionalServices#

Ok, this is really getting bad. We are already well into 2013. Either take the ad down or update it with a new ETA.

I really want to PAY for this service. I already have a virtual US number that I'm PAYING someone else for. I'd rather give Fongo my money since they have provided such a great service.


Steve.... anybody??

Woo hoo! There is hope! They have changed Coming 2012 to Coming 2013.

That's funny.

It still shows coming in 2013... someone should probably change it to 2014 or even 2015 since we only have a month left in 2014.

Just get a magic jack for $35 a year, and forward the US number that comes with it to your Fongo number. I do not think you need a magic jack dongle anymore, I think all you need is the magicjack app for your smart phone.

Im not really interested in a USA number, I just saw on the website that it is really outdated, and thought I would mention it to you... I also thought it was funny how often the site has been updated...

That 'offer' seems to be a long standing joke around here. I have no idea why they have not removed it. It's been a few years now since they first put it up and I get the feeling that the direction they wanted to go with it has changed; so why not remove that page?

As a note to the website designer, if you decode to delete that offer page sling a <code></code> tag around the password on the unlock key page, it will stop me from having to repeat myself.
