A new product is doing the rounds of internet which promises to provide access to Skype and Google Talk accounts over 3G or Wi-Fi networks for mobile users.
Fring is a free to download internet software which uses the mobile VoIP technology to allow any user who owns a compatible Symbian handset to call and chat with other fring users and Skype and GoogleTalk contacts for free. The software can be used to integrate into the mobile, so it is quite different from other VoIP services such as Skype.
The developer of the technology added that users can fring over 3G mobile networks without being charged for the airtime by the service providers and use the data provided for the existing subscription agreement. Avi Shechter, co-founder and CEO of fring, believes that fring could change the way people communicate, giving them freedom from being tied to a single provider.
"We can already see the effect through our users feedback; fring is changing the way people interact on a daily basis bringing choices to consumers & allowing them to declare their mobile independence through continuous availability over 3G, GPRS and Wi-Fi, with no PC-dependency, no call-backs, no air-time charges and no need for special handsets", Shechter added.
