fring 1st to bring 3G video & voice calls to iPhone!

LONDON, January 28, 2010, fring, the multi-award winning mobile application that lets users communicate and share web-based experienced from their mobile devices, today announces that fring on iPhone is now available over 3G networks. This announcement immediately follows iPhone’s long awaited decision to allow third party VoIP applications running over 3G networks onto its iPhone App Store.

fring, the first and one of the most popular iPhone applications enabling Voice and Video over Internet, has been available over WiFi internet connection since launching on the iPhone App Store back in April 2008. This announcement means iPhone fring users can now make free voice and video calls over 3G or Wi-Fi internet access, and, depending on their access and preferences at any given time, easily switching between the two to stay connected any time, anywhere.

In addition to enabling voice and video calls over the internet over 3G and Wi-Fi to other fring users, fring users can call their friends on Skype, GoogleTalk and MSN and all their friends on regular phone lines via Skype-Out and hundreds of popular SIP services.

fring is a mobile communication hub that lets users make free calls, video calls, live chat, update profiles, share files and talk with fring friends and friends from several Instant Messaging services like MSN, AIM, GoogleTalk and Skype, in addition to interacting with popular online social networks including Twitter, Facebook and more, all from one integrated fring contact list.

"fring users and our team alike are very excited that Apple Inc. have allowed independent iPhone VoIP applications over 3G networks, letting users make voice and video calls over whichever internet access suits their needs at any given place and time.” Avi Shechter, Co-Founder & CEO of fring continued, “This decision reflects the trend we have enjoyed over the past four years, as incredible devices and fring's rapidly developing technologies let our users communicate and share social internet experiences over their preferred internet access points wherever they are."

In addition to the iPhone/iPod touch, fring supports thousands of devices on multiple platforms including Symbian S60, Android, Windows Mobile, J2ME, Linux and Intel’s Moblin devices.

Please check your cellular operator's terms of agreement to make sure they allow VoIP calls on their network before using fring.
