Call Display and Caller ID

  • Updated

Call Display (incoming calls)

Call Display is included in Fongo Mobile. The name and phone number of the person calling you will appear on your smartphone when there is an incoming call (if their plan/provider includes it).

Caller ID (outgoing calls)

Fongo Mobile sends your phone number to the person you're calling as your caller ID.

Changing or Hiding Your Outgoing Caller ID

You must have an active Fongo Plus or Fongo Ultimate subscription.

  1. Within the app, navigate to the main menu

    • "Caller ID" - Tap this and type the name you want displayed when you call people
      • Your outgoing caller ID will show the name you input along with your Fongo phone number
