Couldn't add forwarding number

Post by hybj »

Just DL the Android APP yesterday, I tried to add several forwarding numbers, but all of them replied "Invalid call forwarding number"!
I asked my coworker using his iPhone to try, the same!
No more forwarding function??

you can only forward to a free calling area number. Can you call the number you are trying to forward to normally?

I just tried on my Android phone and the only numbers I could not enter were other DV numbers. All other numbers were being added fine.

You can now login online (www.fongo.com) so maybe try there.

What are the next three numbers after the area code? Area codes can cover a very wide area and not always be within a free calling area.

Also remember, just because your number may seem local (you are able to call nearby free of charge) the number itself maybe running from a distance away and not cover the area you think it would)

It could be that you already have these numbers in the system as a forwarding number. It could be in any of the Fongo brands. If you do it online I think it will give you an error to say so, but the app may just throw an error.

Have you added any of those numbers in anywhere before? Also, log in and try it online, it might give you more of an error.

Ahh there you go, that must be it then.

In that case, just forward the number to your FPL account, then that will forward to those numbers.
