Long Distance calls end after a few minutes

Post by curt »

I bought world credits for Fongo Mobile.

After talking to someone in the Bahamas for a few minutes, the call ended and showed an ad.

On a second call to the Bahamas, after a few minutes, the other person went silent. I ended the call and it showed an ad.

Why is this happening? Why is an ad showing when I paid for these minutes? Why is the call ending?

Ad Removal is independent of World Calling Credits: https://support.fongo.com/hc/articles/2 ... s-and-More.
Ads can appear even if you buy World Calling Credits and after calls end.

Regardless, with respect to calls ending early, troubleshooting right now is pointless: viewtopic.php?t=20855

Visit https://status.fongo.com/ regularly.

Once everything appears to be normal at https://status.fongo.com/, you can try again. Ensure your smartphone has a strong Wi-Fi signal while testing. Also ensure the person at the other end is either using a landline or has a strong cellular signal.

If calls continue to drop after the maintenance period is over and after https://status.fongo.com/ appears normal, submit a ticket: https://support.fongo.com/hc/requests/new. In the ticket, provide the brand and model of the phone used, the OS version, Fongo Mobile app version, and the phone number that you're calling. It could be a carrier issue.
