No Fongo Mobile in Android Task Switcher

Current Fongo Mobile 3.10.8.33 app for Android installed from Google Play never shows up in Android Task Switcher when running, at least on my Android 6 phone. So its impossible to Lock or Exit the app from the Task Switcher. The only way I can access the running app is from the phone Shade by tappi...

Voicemail Notification Delay

When someone calls a Fongo Mobile number, the notification of a new call in Calls History in Fongo Mobile app for Android is immediate, regardless whether the call was connected or not. But when a Voicemail is left, it may take 5+ min to get New Voicemail notification on Fongo Mobile. Why is that, a...

Re: Freephoneline won't disconnect on hangup

This is not a tech support request for the desktop app, but rather a maintenance or bug fix request for FPL server, possibly limited to certain user accounts like mine. Anyway, once the ticket is open, is there a way to check its status on any website or by phone? How to escalate the ticket if ignor...

Thanks for help you already provided. I assume you mean FPL server... and I suspected it all alone. Is there a way to reach FPL support on this in a manner that would result in a fix rather than talk?

Re: Freephoneline won't disconnect on hangup

In SIP protocol, the message is called "BYE"; the response should be "200 OK". If you're using Wireshark, this is the type of stuff you should be looking for. Sorry for some delay, being busy lately. I fully cleanup existing FPL install with Total Uninstall, and reinstalled agai...

Re: Freephoneline won't disconnect on hangup

On the surface, your issue, to me, seems related to java, some background process hanging or eating resources, or an audio driver issue.

Freephoneline won't disconnect on hangup

I'm using FFL 3.2.7.0 app on a Win 10 64-bit PC. Starting from a certain Win 10 update, or possibly by coincidence with FFL server side changes, the app stopped disconnecting any phone call when the other party plays a prerecorded message, like an answering machine or on hold. When clicking "En...

Re: Recording Fongo Mobile Conversation

Recording Fongo Mobile Conversation

FPL doesn't remember user choice for Host IP

When a Virtual Machine like VirtualBox or VMWare, or VPN app is installed on one's PC, it creates its own virtual network adapters with local IPs. All other network apps installed on the host properly recognize what physical adapter provides real access to internet, and use that adapter. But FreePho...

Choosing Audio Devices

Freephoneline has bitten most other softphones on the market by lacking mainstream most simplistic features. Yet this is the ONLY softphone I know of that doesn't have GUI controls allowing to select Mic and Speaker devices on a PC. So default sound devices are chosen instead. However, it seems to b...

Re: Record Incoming & Outgoing Calls

Can you add a Call Recording feature to Freephoneline Desktop App, since its available in most other similar apps?

Re: can't enter digits after call connects - softphone

I use the same FPL Desktop with Win7, and it does generate ring tones punched on the app dial pad when dialing a number, and after the call goes through. DTMF setting is In-band. At times extra ring tones aren't recognized after the call is connected, so I need to repeat, but it works. Do you hear r...
