Re: Where can I find old dellvoice app?

Seagame: I get your point --- and to Mike/Fongo in general -- requiring OS bumps is one thing that you have to be careful of in the development of the mobile apps. Not everyone upgrades to bleeding edge, and a lot of carriers charge for OS upgrades (which is BS, but that is the way it is). Fongo sho...

Thank you --- I have also thrown up the STICKY on this in the User tips section ... if for some reason it becomes UNSTICKY later, can you re-glue it to the top of the thread there?? ;) Thanks!

Re: 811, 311 access

We're getting this checked out. Thanks Steve. I do get what Mike explained, and yourself and I (and others) went thru this in the past, but some 3-1-1's and 2-1-1's did work, and it seems that they have all ceased to function correctly. The fact that 2-1-1 from my Vancouver # hits back to the Fiber...

Re: Can't Receive Calls From Petrolia

hey GuitarMan -- good job on the troubleshooting so far for isolating what works and what does not work. Seeing as it is a ported number, Cogeco should not have any issue in handling it, as until the final leg into your home it appears as a different carrier. Why only certain users in a certain area...

Softphone dies/network issues

Wow. Okay, while assisting Jason in Toronto with his connect via FPL issue (yes, a lot of it was PM) I placed several test calls to his ChatR number, had call logs open, and was PMing and regular forum-ing. Granted I did not reboot my PC during all of this, but in using 3.0.3.0, I encountered a lot ...

I am still trying to call your number as PM'd, and I alternately (not 50%) get either complete dead air, or the failure message. Even when I hear nothing on my softphone when dialing, I still end up with a log entry in my call log. Fongo's handling of error messages/failed calls is suspect at best a...

Re: Cannot get a number assigned

Interesting error. Clear cache, reboot, retry. I just created a throw-away account (and then deleted it) and the system appears to be working correctly!

PM me if this does not resolve your issue, as you appear to be local to me and I can likely help you set up an account and a working number.

This topic comes up frequently, so I am stickying it here and trying to compile a list. 3-1-1 service is SUPPOSEDLY supported by Fongo in certain cities (and those cities supposedly have to request 3-1-1 to be activated).

As per FPL-Steve's post, there is support/translation for 3-1-1 service only within VANCOUVER (at least as far as the Vancouver-Metro area is concerned).

You have reached a number which is not equipped for incoming service..... and you are correct, the end digits change. The fact that I can reach the ERROR message when dialing it means that there is an error in the way the call is being routed; and with a new-port, I still think that it is something ...

I am having trouble also completing the call to you (as per your PM). The call does not seem to set up whatsoever in my softphone.

Before Mike locks the thread and tells you to search first, I will chime in and say that "311 dial problem" does not search properly. Fongo used to support 3-1-1 service in SOME cities (not all); however, this no longer seems to be the case as of a few months ago. 3-1-1 used to work in Van...
