Skype, MSN, Gtalk, Voip on your phone with Fring.

15 Comments 14 February 2007

IM and VoIP on your phone with fringfingâ„¢ is, as taken from their website, which best describes it, a mobile application that allows you to make mobile calls and send instant messages (chat) to other fring users and PC-based VoIP services such as Skype, Google Talk and MSN Messenger at no extra cost beyond your existing data plan. fring calls cost nothing extra because they utilize GPRS, 3G and Wi-Fi mobile internet connections.

I’m loving it. It’s just one those applications you must have on your phone, and it’s easy to use, which is a bonus.

After downloading the fring application to your phone via an sms, just open up the fring application, enter your skype, Google Talk and/or MSN Messenger login details in the settings and fring will automatically login you in and get your contacts for those accounts.

You can minimize the application to run in the background on the phone and continue regular phone operations. When someone wants to chat to or call you via Skype, GTalk or MSN, fring automatically comes to the forefront to alert you.

Only problem is, fring is only available on the newer smart phones, so if you got an older phone, you probably won’t be able to use it, but check it out anyways.
To find out more go check out their site at http://www.fring.com/.

    Hey! Nokia Rocks!
    Oops, well if VoIP is illegal they shouldn’t have sold me my Nokia E70.
    It’s like banning the use of guns, but selling them in the supermarket. You can buy it, but not use it.

    Ok, oops. Rafiq just reminded me, I need to read the small print on my cell phone contract.
    Hey, I swear if the cops come knocking on my door, I only used it to chat so far.

    Hi and thank you for your review of fring! We appreciate the positive feedback.

    If I may, I would like to make a correction to your statement above about how “fring is only available on the newer smart phones”. Actually, we do support all Symbian 8 phones, including Nokia 6630, 6680, 6681, 6682, N70, N72 & N90.

    Again thanks and we hope you continue to use (and love) fring!

    Screw them – how will they know youre using VOIP? The networks are only protecting thier beloved cash cows! Give value, better service and better rates and people wont need to use VOIP!

    Hi there Jono,
    I got my E90 from Virgin Mobile, you can check out their website http://www.virginmobile.co.za or just go into one of their stores.
    I also got my old vodacom prepaid number ported, which is pretty cool.
