Fring – Peer-to-Peer VoIP on iPhones & other Mobile Phones

free app for iphones to make free calls & instant messages 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.

Fring is PC-independent and does not require any dedicated hardware or airtime – all you need to use Fring is a supported handset (most mobile phone services will have models that support Fring) with internet connectivity and an internet data package or a WiFi account.

Here is a short video showing how to make a free call with Fring.

The Fring website demonstrates the technical facts behind how this utility works. The Fring™ mobile VoIP solution maximizes use of the internet capabilities embedded within a subscriber’s handset. The Fring solution establishes a peer-to-peer VoIP connection between calling parties, enabling true VoIP sessions between fring enabled handsets and also between handsets and PCs.

Fring is based on a unique thin-client technology that for the first time enables true VoIP over 3G, GPRS and WiFi networks. Fring dynamically adapts itself to the optimal network and handset characteristics while enabling seamless roaming VoIP on multiple networks. The dedicated three-sided P2P network architecture has been developed to support near telco-grade voice quality and network efficiency.

Fring leverages the internet connectivity traditionally used for mobile email retrieval and web browsing to provide mobile VoIP communications so you can talk and instant message for free!
