Post by bloommerce@gmail.com »

Hello, I Have a free Fongo phone number and I wanted to have my phone number permanently but no one can take my phone number.
Then I purchased the voIP unlock key, now I don't know how to use it.
Can I use it with Fongo app?

I'm guessing you mean a Fongo Mobile number.
and I wanted to have my phone number permanently
For Fongo Mobile, visit and read the content from these two web pages fully:

1) https://support.fongo.com/hc/articles/3 ... unt-policy

and

2) https://support.fongo.com/hc/articles/2 ... or-deleted

but no one can take my phone number
I don't understand what you mean by that.

You use a VoIP unlock key with a SIP client, such as an ATA, IP Phone, or a SIP application.
If you want to use an ATA or IP Phone, you need to buy one.

Visit viewforum.php?f=15 for configuration guides.

There's a 911 monthly fee for VoIP unlock keys. Visit https://www.fongo.com/freephoneline-911 ... rvice-fee/ for more information.

Can I use it with Fongo app?
No; you can't use a VoIP unlock key with Fongo Mobile.

No you can not use it with Fongo app.

You would need a softphone. Here are 2 free softphones with no adds on android ( maybe on apple store too but I don't know for sure ) : sipnetic and linphone.
