Porting out & SMS forwarding

[Sami]

Hello,

I am thinking of getting a new Fongo number in another city, but am afraid of having that number locked in to Fongo in case for whatever reason I decide to go to a regular phone plan. Is it possible to port numbers out of Fongo and will this always be the case?

On another note, a new account also means that I would now have 2 Fongo accounts but only one mobile device to use them from. Is it possible to forward received SMS messages from the first account (whether to a different number or to email)? I don't want to have to log out and log back every day to check if I have any messages.

Thanks!

You will always be able to port your number out. Because Fibernetics (Fongo's parent) is a CLEC they have to let you port your number out.

And no, you can't forward your text messages, just the actual calls.

Thanks Jake! Can I at least check the SMS messages from the web interface or desktop app? Or is logging out and in on my mobile device the only way?

Mobile app only I am afraid.

hi jake,
is it possible to use mightytext to access the text messages from an android on a desktop? i think mightytext would access the android message box so guess fongo would have to be able to link into the android message system.

thanks

I have no idea Tonyn, you would have to either try it or send the team a support question. Sorry.
