Call Display (incoming calls)
Call Display is included in Fongo Mobile. The name and phone number will appear on your smartphone when there is an incoming call.
Caller ID (outgoing calls)
Fongo Mobile sends both your phone number and name to the recipient. The name sent by default is the name on your account (input during sign up).
*Not all providers support name display, even if they advertise caller ID/call display.
To hide your outgoing caller ID, open the main menu in the app, tap Account, tap Settings, then toggle "Show My Caller ID" off.
