Fring

Fring is a cool little ap that lets you keep connected in many different ways. Extending it’s reach to msn, yahoo, skype, mobile calls, sip, facebook and much more! Fring seems to be a cool little ap that is pretty useful.

Didn’t take long to setup at all & works fine on Wifi. Haven’t yet tried it on GPRS but I can’t imagine it chewing through to much data. Might have to give it a go later on.

It looks good, is stable & works fine. You do need to register- but that process is quick & painless. Also a point ot make- the more of your friends on Fring, the easier it is to connect with them. I suppose this is the (good) reason that Fring is free- to distribute & try to make it #1. I’m willing to help them out.

This also comes with a today-screen plugin which lets you know if it is running or not. I think this is cool, because as more & more people are using it on your list, then you’ll know if they can connect to you or not.

One of the best things about Fring is that I have been able to set up my Nodephone account on it- which means that I can make calls for free (that is, only pay for the data usage… i only recommend this when connected to a wifi network- Fring uses approx 8meg per hour on a call so may not be the best on GPRS).

Note: One of the good things about Fring is there is TONS of support forums out there. You won’t be in trouble if you use it

Edit: The more I use this application the more I’m liking it. I know its probabyly an obvious thing to millions who potentialy read this- but when I set up Fring to make calls via my Nodephone account, it also receives incoming calls. This I REALLY like because it means that if I am expecting a call to my nodephone account (which i use for my business) then I can simply carry my mobile around with me. No more diverting calls here and there, or even voicemail. The call comes directly through to my mobile. It also rings at home, so if i’m there I can simply answer that. Either way- SIP on Fring is awesome
