Texting
You can send and receive unlimited texts between Fongo phone numbers.
You can receive unlimited text messages from non-Fongo phone numbers. Short-code (premium) text messages from services like WhatsApp, Facebook, Microsoft, and other services have limited support at this time and require an Unlimited Texting Add-on in order to receive them.
To send texts to non-Fongo phone numbers, an Unlimited Texting Add-on is required. Learn more here.
Picture Messaging
Picture messaging is unlimited and free between Fongo Mobile users.
You can enhance picture messaging with either Fongo Plus or Unlimited Texting Add-ons.
With Fongo Plus Only
You will be able to receive unlimited picture messages from non-Fongo phone numbers when subscribed to an Unlimited Texting.
With Unlimited Texting Only
Picture messages sent to non-Fongo numbers will be sent as a Fongo Media Link, where the receiver will open the link in their device's browser to view the image.
With Fongo Plus and Unlimited Texting
With both add-ons, picture messages will be sent as an MMS instead of a Fongo Media Link.
Limitations: Only picture messages are currently supported for MMS messages. Sending or receiving documents, videos, or other file types are not supported at this time.
Group Messaging
Enjoy Fongo group messaging with up to 10 friends at once.
To start a group conversation, compose a message to multiple Fongo contacts. All members of the group will be able to easily respond and see others’ responses in one conversation.
To view group members, tap the group button. Tap any of the individual names for options to call, message, or view the contact’s profile.
All members must be connected using Fongo. If any member is connected via a non-Fongo number, the group message will not be created and you will be having individual conversations with each group member. Responses will be sent back to you only.
