Subject: Using a Fongo # solely to receive voicemail-to-email and text-to-email
.Hello Community Support : )
I'm researching the following possibilities about Fongo before I purchase.
Some background and my question / need:
I recently moved from BC to Central America and I'd like to retain my Canadian phone #.
My Canadian # is not very active, I only have occasional voicemails from banks or institutions, and a few texts.
I do not need to phone FROM my Fongo phone - I just need to maintain a phone "presence" in Canada... to receive my voicemails and texts via my email.
So far I've found that the only popular service that offers these two services is Fongo.
Can I use Fongo without buying the adapter? - It seems I wouldn't need one. If I do have to purchase the adapter, how would it help me, being outside of Canada?
One last question: Regarding banks etc. ability to text me for "one time password verifications" sent to my email address (text to email) - from reading some info from Fongo, it appears this would not work. Does anyone have any alternate suggestion or service that would solve this problem?
thanks in advance for anyone's time !
