Fongo Community Forums

Earlier today, I dialed a 343 (Kingston, ON) number and heard "This Call Is Not Covered By Your Tarriff Plan" I didn't find much on this issue in the forums, but there is this doc: https://support.fongo.com/hc/en-us/articles/212437906-This-call-is-not-covered-by-your-tarriff-plan . However...

Sorry to hear your ATA's not working and you're having trouble getting the FPL app. The Fongo app is a different service altogether than FPL, so won't work with your FPL account info. I suggest you get a SIP client for Android, like CSipSimple or Zoiper. (Search the forums; there should be info on t...

I haven't used it personally, but looks like it'd ultimately work with FPL. Search the forums for PAP2T and see what people say. THere should be a crowdsourced config guide, too.

Others will likely jump in and suggest Obihai stuff instead.

Possible good news for BB7 users? I haven't confirmed this myself, but wanted to post in case it helps the 9900 user above.

Taki's probably as good as it gets for the PlayBook, I agree. Shame that that didn't get more support or an upgrade to BB10, but that's another discussion. For BB10, a great SIP client is Sip.fm -- free, and a native BB app. Freephoneline credentials work beautifully in it. I'm not as familiar with ...

The Fongo app runs on BlackBerry phones that have OS10 (ex. Q10), not on OS7 or earlier (ex. Bold 9900). The app for BB10 is merely an Android port, but it is officially posted by Fongo in BlackBerry World (app store). Even through the Android emulation, the app (quite lightweight) works well. Of co...

v3 of the doc contains a setting I recently learned needs to be changed from the default value SIP OPTIONS Keep Alive Interval -- change to 20 (30 is the default) Thanks to Lipton for pointing it out in another thread. It also contains the link to the supported Asus routers for Merlin firmware, and ...

Thanks, Lipton!

I have a RT-N600 which has limited third party firmware options.

I just noticed that the keepalive interval in my ATA is 30 (default). I'll change that to 20.

My HT701 (1.0.8.2 FW) is showing up as not registered today (in both the ATA and freephoneline.ca account views, alike). Yet I can make outgoing calls. I just tried one. I did a test incoming call and that didn't work -- I got forwarded to voicemail. Any idea what might be happening there? As the ol...

Textnow has a web based interface, too.

If you're willing to look into a device/gadget to do this, why not go with a multi-headset with a base unit? Hi, You mean something like this? http://www.factorydirect.ca/Canada-/Telephones/Cordless_Phones/3_Or_More_Handset/PA0313/KX-TG313_Panasonic_Kxtg313_Dect6_0_Exp_Cls_3Hs_Phn_W_Ans_Mac_8851701...

Happy to report it was a manual error and the site is updated with the previous coverage.

Thanks, Jake and Fongo support!

Thanks for the reply and the snapshot of an earlier version of the list, Jake! I appreciate it. It's disappointing to see this list reduced so much. I have family in NL and I was excited to see smaller towns slowly but surely being added. Was hoping to see my wife's home town added so she could call...

Anyone?

The list seems much smaller than before. Did something change recently?

Probably one of the smaller providers like Freedom Mobile or Fido would be worth a look. There are ways to tie a tablet data plan to a smartphone, but I believe there's a bit of manual intervention involved. This thread might be worth checking out: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/cheapest-mobile-data...

As a workaround for people who want multiple devices to ring from the same FPL number, you could always sign up for Fongo mobile (free) and have FPL simultaneously ring that number. That way, you can have a mix of hard phones (ex. a cordless phone base plugged into the ATA) and a softphone (Fongo th...

Yes, Fongo service follows you, and no extra fees. All you need is internet (of course) at the new location and you're good to go.

Yes, it's possible. But you have to open the app to set the call forwarding. But after that, you can close it and the Fongo account can be a permanent forward to another number.

Yes, you should be able to port the 416 number into Fongo. The app runs just fine on BB10 devices (am a fellow BB10 user and have used Fongo on a Q5, Q10, and Passport). Call forwarding works perfectly fine on Fongo (and "behind the scenes" as you said), so it should fit the bill for your ...

Sadly, Fongo does not have a client that supports Lumia phones, so you need to get another phone if you want to use Fongo. The Fongo client only supports Android and Apple phones. If you wanted to make free phone calls with your Lumia phone, you would need to install a SIP client on your Lumia phon...

Thanks, Lipton. I couldn't find one and a cursory search on the web didn't turn up anything. Attaching the config fields for you just in case.

Hi all, Anyone know of any way to block numbers through the ATA? We keep getting a call from a 1866 number, twice daily at least. In a few years, that's the only "spam" calls we've received through FPL. If I could even just block this one entry, our household would be a lot happier. Sugges...
