How can I do "phone number confirmation" using a landline?

Post by blueribbonchoco »

Hello, I'd like to have a FreePhoneLine account. At the moment, I have a regular landline phone number. The website says that you will send an SMS to confirm the phone number. But what if I can't receive SMS? Is there a way to still have an FPL account?

I submitted a ticket, but this is what they said:
Hello there,
Thank you for your email.

Please note that Fongo Mobile (iOS and Android), Fongo Home Phone and Freephoneline are separate products. The credentials, phone numbers and accounts cannot be used interchangeably across account management pages.

Please check and update your third party ATA adapter settings with the official recommended configurations here http://forum.fongo.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7962 . If you do not follow the official recommended configurations, you may experience call issues.

We do not provide customer support for Freephoneline Desktop, Freephoneline VoIP Unlock Keys (SIP configuration files) and third party ATA devices. VoIP Unlock Keys should only be purchased by customers who understand networks and configuring SIP clients. Please check the Fongo Forum for Fongo customer discussion about third party ATA device configuration: http://forum.fongo.com/viewforum.php?f=15.

If you require a supported home phone solution, please visit http://www.fongo.com/home-phone/

Is it because I chose the wrong option in the "Issue Type" dropdown list? What should I choose for issue type?
