Fongo Community Forums

Hi, I'm french speaking normally so please bear with my english

Ok Fongo seems interesting, I am a canadian snowbird from quebec planning to spent 4 months in texas next winter , cellular plan cost an arm and a leg so here I am . Before committing myself I have a few questions.

Ok here is the scenarios and what I think I understood

1- I download Fango on my Android phone I register , Fongo give me a phone number , and I am good to go to call for free all across Canada and the USA as long as I have wifi and or internet signal , is that ok ?

2- Am I going to be able to receive call from canada while im in Texas through the wifi where I am connected for free ?

3- Now I'm in Texas , and I want to call in Canada through wifi is it going to be free ?

4- Can we get blocked by public wifi suppliers ? I mean are they able to detect that it is Fongo and that I use their wifi for a telephone call ?

5- Can we call through a VPN ?

6- Now How can I use Fongo in order to receive the call made on my cell in canada through my actual provider Koodo ?

Its enough for now I guess , thanks a millions for your help

Calls to U.S. numbers are not free.

Am I going to be able to receive call from canada while im in Texas through the wifi where I am connected for free ?

Yes, incoming calls are free from anywhere

The bigger issues are jitter and pings from Texas to Southern Ontario: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=20149#p78752.

Now I'm in Texas , and I want to call in Canada through wifi is it going to be free ?

Calls to Canadian provinces are free from anywhere.

Can we get blocked by public wifi suppliers ?

It's possible. Certain countries may also have geoblocking. Fongo is not the one restricting you.

5- Can we call through a VPN ?

I'm able to. It depends on the VPN.

Now How can I use Fongo in order to receive the call made on my cell in canada through my actual provider Koodo

Fongo Mobile requires internet access. If you have cellular data (or Wi-Fi) and the Fongo Mobile app installed, incoming calls should work.
