Setting Up Call Forwarding
Call forwarding allows you to send your calls to other phone numbers when someone calls your Fongo Mobile number. You can forward your calls to up to 3 separate phone numbers – giving you the chance to answer the call on your most convenient device.
Here’s how to set it up:
- Open your Fongo Mobile App
- Under the side menu, select Account
- Once you are in the account tab, select “Settings
- Under Phone Service, select Call Forwarding
- Choose your preferred forwarding mode
- Enter the phone numbers you want calls to be forwarded to and the number of rings before your calls are forwarded to this number.
Forwarding Mode
-
Simultaneous – All Follow Me numbers, including your Fongo Mobile number that was dialed by the caller, will ring at the same time, allowing you to pick up the call wherever it is convenient. You cannot have more than 2 numbers for Simultaneous mode.
-
Sequential – Incoming calls will be forwarded to the first listed Follow Me number. If the call isn’t answered at the first Follow Me number, it will continue on to the next Follow Me number and so on. If none of your Follow Me numbers have voicemail, the call will be directed back to your voicemail system.
-
Never – To turn off call forwarding select this option.
What Phone Numbers Can You Forward To
