The evolution of Dell Voice: Picture and group messaging
Posted: 11/23/2012
Hi everyone,
Today, we launch a completely redesigned app with an updated interface and more free features.
“Fongo has revolutionized the mobile service industry with a business model no one thought was possible: free calling. But our desire to innovate the mobile experience goes much further than cost savings. A phone that presents nothing more than a dialpad is an outdated idea. Our new design is beautiful, modern, and a much needed breath of fresh air in a stale industry.” -- Dave Bullock, president of Fongo.
New Big Features:
Share your snapshots. Picture messaging is here.
Now, post that concert photo to your Fongo contacts. We've added free, unlimited picture messaging between Fongo users.
Start a bigger conversation.
Introducing free group messaging with Fongo. Chat with multiple Fongo contacts and call or message them from the group thread.
For those of you who currently use Dell Voice, be sure to update to the latest version, and enjoy!
And for those of you who are not yet Fongo customers, the app is available for easy download on the Fongo website, the App Store, and Google Play.
Talk Freely,
Team Fongo
