The CEO of Fongo, sponsored by DELL, has decided to change the terms of service of their "LIFETIME AD REMOVAL" license, taking it away from the people who purchased it and replacing it with a monthly subscription model.[1][2][3]
Background
In the first quarter of 2024, Fongo Mobile started removing the Lifetime Ad Removal licenses people purchased in exchange for 24 months of their new Ad Removal monthly subscription.
They also gave 2 months of their "Fongo Plus Upgrade" which included SMS Texting (Which didn't even work and was plagued with problems the entire time) and a $1.00 World Calling credit.
Incidents
On June 02 2024 I received these texts informing me they are changing the terms of sale.
They seem to have also removed any and all reference to the original "Lifetime Ad Removal License from the internet Archive and Google search.
