fring — you need this on your iPhone

Posted by greg

This app is fringing awesome, for real… I just finished testing’er out and she works quite well; no doubt a must-have for your iPhone. My Icelandic explorer buddy, Leif Erikson, will say the same.

What is it?

fring™ is a mobile internet service & community that enables you to access & interact with your social networks on-the-go, make free calls and live chat with all your fring, Skype®, MSN® Messenger, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®* friends using your handset’s internet connection rather than costly cellular airtime minutes.

Bringing PC-benefits to the mobile, fring will empower you with mobility and availability as never before, integrating all contacts in to one, searchable buddy list, allowing you to see who’s online before dialing with contact availability indicators, engage in multiple conversations simultaneously, send & receive files and more.

Couldn’t have said it better myself…

    yeh did that too me a couple times too, but im guessing it should be all fixed in the REAL version, since this is a pre-Release.

    the text chat on the MSN network works fine, just adding a Skype account is a bit ‘buggy’ - but that will hopefully be fixed later on as you say…

    I have an iPod Touch… can I still use this to send (text) IMs to my buddies using AIM and Google Talk though?

    yes. you can’t call anyone since the touch doesn’t have a mic.
