★★★★★J J· Aug 6, 2026
Awesome! All you need is data (Wi-Fi or 4G) and you can call any phone number in the world, with great call quality. 5*
★★★★☆Rachel· Jul 4, 2026
All positive except it doesn't ring unless I have recently used and opened the app on my phone. I checked my settings and I do have my phone set to allow fongo to display over other apps, but it doesn't ring. So bummer, but it has worked in the past better than text now and until fongo that was the best alternate texting free calling second number app
★★★★★Wayne Benson· Jul 1, 2026
Fongo is Canada's free phone and texting app. Pick your number call n text FREE.
★★★★☆Denis Rozhnev· Aug 1, 2026
3* for application but 5* for very useful service. There's no billing. You just buy credits and use them. No details on where your credits were spent or how much each call cost.
★★★★★R C· Jul 1, 2026
The sms world edition works well for receiving verification codes overseas.
★☆☆☆☆Ziad Boutanios· Sep 16, 2026
Keeps connecting forever, and pretty cumbersome to use, especially when receiving a call. Also found out that even though calls to the US are 1 cent per minute, fongo still charges you a connection fee of 4 cents 👎
★☆☆☆☆Celine M· Aug 27, 2026
Extremely intrusive adds. Even if you pay for unlimited texting, they want you to pay extra to remove it.
★☆☆☆☆Beckie Kuefler· Aug 31, 2026
Beyond Frustrating! I use fongo for my work number and It's no longer reliable enough. I keep getting error messages when texting local numbers (numbers that I contact regularly) that my package doesn't support that number. If I ask them to text me first it will usually work. I did an update, and it helped for a while but it's doing it again and there are no new updates. Forget their "support" as it is 3rd party, and you need to pay for it.
