Amazing for US <-> Canada Calling
I have tried so many other “phone” apps for US <-> Canadian calling and Fongo blows them all away. Very simple interface, very low cost, worth buying the ad free for life version for $7. Excellent support, I had a minor issue and they got back to me ASAP with a fix. I highly recommend you give it a try.

Not worth the cost
I had read reviews saying you could buy a lifetime ad free version but that’s not true, you have to purchase the app, and then you can choose a phone number, you can’t even text message without buying a text subscription plan, it’s all monthly plans to unlock the basic features of having an app like this, if I wanted to pay for these features I’d get a regular cellular plan. Maybe this app used to be good but it is not worth it any longer.. if it was a one time fee for lifetime text and calling in North America or at least a certain amount of minutes or texts per month or have me click a couple of ads or something to get and send texts then sure, but as it stands for a wifi based calling, you may as well just get google voice and forget about this.

App Just Stopped Functioning
Please is any one else getting a message to reinstall the latest version in order to be able to login? I go to AppStore and find there is no new release and yet I keep getting this message. I deleted my app and re-downloaded; only to get the same notification. At first, I thought I am forgetting my Password and go ahead to change password successfully, but still can’t log in. What is going on Fongo? This is not cool! Update: I sent a complaint email and got support. Apparently, my account was suspended cause I had recently called a particular number multiple times. Now I will be aware of that. Thankfully, my account has been reinstated. I’m glad Fongo has been responsive through this.
