Question about WIND Pay Your Way and Fongo

Post by xmizer »

I'm interested in using WIND Pay Your Way. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Pay Your Way, it has unlimited incoming call/text but costs money for outgoing calls/text and data. Call forwarding counts as outgoing calls and voicemail also costs extra.

My question is whether Fongo works well with Pay Your Way. I am interested in the free voicemail feature that Fongo has but I was wondering how it works. If calls go to voicemail, does WIND forward them to Fongo which counts as an outgoing call, which would mean it would incur costs.

Also, I'm just curious if there are any Pay Your Way users out there. I want to hear your experiences. Thanks.

You can probably use Fongo's "Follow Me" call forwarding feature which lets you forward your Fongo calls to your Wind number (so incoming to your Wind phone). If you don't answer it'll go to your Fongo voicemail after a specified number of rings. You can configure Fongo's voicemail to forward new messages to an email address or you can retrieve it by calling your Fongo number. You should not sign up for Wind's voicemail feature if you want to use Fongo's voicemail.
