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
You can send and receive unlimited picture messages between Fongo phone numbers.
With the purchase of an unlimited texting add-on, you will also be able to send and receive Picture Messages (MMS) to/from non-Fongo numbers.
MMS Limitations:
- When you send picture messages to non-Fongo numbers, the recipient will receive a clickable link to the image that can be viewed in a browser. Alternatively, picture messages to non-Fongo numbers can be sent as an MMS message by enabling "Send Picture Messages as MMS" in the app's settings.
- 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.
