Mr. Blog On Fring

Once again, David and I are aligned almost like twins. I think Fring is cool, but I question its utility, especially in GPRS and even EDGE markets where the audio sounds so muddy that its not what you would want to use for a business call.

David also experienced the same SMS issue that I did on a USA SIM. I swapped to my French SIM while in San Diego, did the SMS thing and voila, I had Fring running so I contend it may have been a carrier blocking issue.

So give David's post a read as it is like most of what he rights, right on the money.

Fring is so great on GPRS!

You have to see that it is not only a VoIP client and that you don't need an extra VoIP client on new Wifi / GSM phones.

Fring is more a multi chat client for MSN messenger, Google Talk and Skype. It is the only way to bring Skype on a Symbian phone and the Skype calls sound great on Wifi.

Isn't this marvelous?

I use Fring to chat with my buddies. We now send text messages instead of SMS. One SMS costs me 15 Euro Cent. For the same price I can send thousands of chat text messages, since 1 MB costs me only 24 Euro Cent.

Thanks to Fring.
