Introduction
About fring
fring™ is a mobile internet service & community that enables you to access & interact
with your social networks on-the-go, including make free calls, video calls, live chat and
seeing your contacts online presence with all your fring, MSN® Messenger, Google
Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®* friends using your handset’s internet
connection rather than costly cellular airtime minutes.
Once you've installed fring, fring's main screen displays your contacts and their presence
status (e.g. online, offline). This list shows the names of your fringster- friends, your
Google-Talk/MSN/ICQ/Yahoo/AIM contacts.
Figure 1 – buddy list
From the main Buddy list you can navigate between your contacts, find their presence
status and initiate a communication session with them. You may initiate a voice call,
a video call, start a chat session and move between all open sessions using the
'Goto' tab. You can also make SIP calls directly from
your fring Buddy list.
To sum it up, you'll not only make your iPhone more useful, you can also save
money.
This guide will help you get started.
