Fring

VoIP is the rage these days and I have to say, even my mom is using it! She's subscribed to this service my aunt suggested to her. Anyways, if you don't know what Fring is, fring is a mobile application for Windows and Symbian phones that uses VOIP to make inexpensive/free mobile calls and instant message. Unlike Jajah, but like Truphone, Fring sends calls and chats over Wi-Fi internet access or your 3G or GPRS Internet data plan. Like Skype, users are charged a nominal fee to call standard phone lines. However, calls made to other internet phones are free. Fring connects to standard phones, other SIP based VOIP clients, and chat applications (Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk, and even Twitter).

Now, this is also very similar to the other service I mentioned before from Palringo except with fring, you make an actual call (which you would have to give out your number) whereas with Palringo, it's PTT (Push To Talk). Both uses data. I prefer Palringo since I don't make any international calls but I'm sure fring has its uses...just not me...
