Been a Fongo Wireless customer since Dec 2020. SMS texting is included in this service. For the last 5 days (since Dec. 3) my wife and my SMS stopped working (she subscribed for Fongo Plus on 3rd). We both get message: "You are currently not subscribed to text messaging..." Fongo is not responding to any of our technical support requests. My friend tested buying one month SMS on Fongo Mobile yesterday and SMS works just fine for him.
This is extremely frustrating, almost indicative Fongo is singling us out and discriminating against both myself and my wife. Fongo support is not responding to either of our support requests (have sent many). Fongo does not have any support phone numbers to call, leaving all customers in the dark, with no course of action.
Other than CCTS, has anyone else been able to escalate their complaints. If yes, how can this be done?
Thanks,

"Useless posting will also not be permitted nor will posts with the intent of “creating a reaction”.
Keep in mind that they may take up to a week to respond to submitted tickets: https://status.fongo.com/.
If "Support System" indicates "Degraded Performance", ticket response time can take up to a week (or longer).
I appreciate that delays in ticket responses, particularly those involving paid services, are frustrating.

Re: Technical Support Ignoring SMS Problem
Just got a text, at 4am, that my sms unlimited texting on my wireless plan is expiring on the 9th. I submitted a request, but this is an important problem that could cause many to go to other companies that offer VoIP services. Having a working phone and texting is very important to me. My account for both wireless and home phone with Fongo is and has been always I good standing. This is my life line when out and about, as I am handicapped.
