SMS capabilities

Post by Azutrum »

Hi,

I know this must have been asked before, but I haven't been able to get a clear answer, Please point me to the post which has the answer to my questions or simply state it.

I know I can't use sms on Fongo desktop application.

Is it possible to use freephoneline sms service on an android phone without having to pay $50 to unlock sip settings whatever that is...

If yes... please explain as if speaking to a novice.

thanks.

FPL does not offer SMS in any way. The only way to use SMS is through Fongo and on their mobile app.

So can I use Fongo application on mobile with FPL account? or I have to create a new account?

You will have to set up a new Fongo account. FPL accounts will not work.
