Voice over IP (VoIP) based mobile calling and aren’t new. But a new free iPhone app called Fring lets you import contacts and buddy lists from all of the most popular IM services-including MSN Messenger, ICQ, AIM, Google Talk and Yahoo-and then place free calls to other Fring users, or Fringsters, as well as make calls via Skype, Skype-Out or the SIP provider of their choice.
Mobile VoIP software such as Fring can be particularly valuable to folks who travel internationally, or who often place calls between countries, due to the potential cost savings. Placing international calls to other Fring users or via Skype can eliminate or significantly reduce the costs associated with such communications.
Fring is also an IM application, so iPhone owners can use it to chat with their various contacts from all of the above mentioned services. And Fring also incorporates the base features of Twitter, so you can monitor your feeds while using the app.
