Paid for texting, not showing as subscribed

Post by NeilJMartin »

Hello,

I've just paid for 6 months of Canada SMS. I've exited and restarted the Dell Voice Fongo app and my Add-ons still show my "Unlimited Canada texting" as "Not subscribed"

I've received a Google Play Receipt at 12:45pm today.

Thanks for any help

Still Not Connected. Can Any Other Uses Who Bought This Service Tell Me How Long It Took To Connect For Them?

When we bought credits before they showed up straight away (all 3 times).

Have you tried calling in?

It's the weekend now so the forum staff who come by will not be working. You can always PM fongo_mike or fongo_steve and ask them to look into this for you, if you don't get any joy by calling in.
If you do PM them, give them a link to this thread and your account phone number.

It sounds like something didn't hook up right when you bought.

It started working around 11:30am today. So that's about 23 hours after I purchased through the app.

It seems to be working, so all is good.

Thanks.

That's good to hear. It's a bit crap that people have to wait that long - it must cause quite a concern to a lot of people.

We initially bought when they started the text thing, so maybe now there is more checks being put in place for some reason. Either way, a delay is by no means optimal - even if you do say it in the FAQs.
