Freephoneline account with Fongo App? Will you merge?

Post by coolprivacy »

Hi,
Is there a plan to merge Freephoneline accounts with Fongo? Currently I can't use Freephoneline login in Fongo App on iOS. Is there a plan to merge these accounts? I don't want to create a new Fongo account with same username only later to use my Freephoneline user name..
Thank you.

I can't see this happening because there wouldn't be much point.
They purposely kept the company separate when they set it up to offer different business models. To revert back to a single business model would probably be a big headache for them paperwork wise, although it would be VERY good for us. I believe there is also a stumbling block with the agreement they had to set up with Apple. If you set up a Fongo account through an iDevice it is locked to iDevices (you can't even use it on an Android phone). So I can't see it being possible to take that account and use it on, what is effectively, another companies software.

It seems simple - just join the databases together. I have been hoping for that since day one of FOngo, but I bet it would be a right mess behind the scenes if they did. So unfortunately if we want to use their system(s) to the fullest, we have to set up several accounts.

At this time there is no plan to merge all brandings into one.
