Comments on Fongo - Call & Text Freely for Android
★★★★☆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.
★★★★★Wayne Benson· Jul 1, 2026
Fongo is Canada's free phone and texting app. Pick your number call n text FREE.
★★★★☆Mary Carroll· Jun 13, 2026
Works pretty good for making calls. I hear the people on the other end good, but they hear me as if I am underwater and if I speak slowly they have a better chance of understanding me. It drains your batter really fast.
★☆☆☆☆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 👎
★☆☆☆☆Nikhil K· Sep 2, 2026
Worst calling and texting app. Incoming texts have been down for over 19 hours and support and technical team are not taking it as priority to fix or resolve. Unable to receive incoming texts, and they just say keep checking the status page and give copy and paste troubleshoot steps even though issue is on their end. It also happened during their small business hours of 9-4 still no fix or replies from support or technical. Don't use this service.
