Fring = iPhone + VOIP = WOW!
Fring is out and available as a free download in the App Store. (It currently does not appear when searching but is there if you go to "Apps" and then "Social Networking".
What is Fring??
"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. "
Translation- Fring brings VOIP to the iPhone in a HUGE way. We've already loaded it and are making some test calls. So far- so good.
We'll be back with more information on the experience soon.
In the meantime, you can get it HERE.
But doesn't allow you to make & receive voip calls, so what's the use.
So ... how long until Apple bans this one? I mean come on - this is way too cool or functional for it to be allowed on the app store!
I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING but didn't want to say it and jinx the situation. I'm kinda shocked it got through but maybe the fact that VOIP is restricted to wifi was enough to play nice with Ma AT&T...
