Make free calls from your mobile phone - Says Fring

Alright people, here’s yet another way to cut down your mobile bill. Fring, a start-up, has come up with what could be called the mobile version of Skype. This way, you can make phone calls and send text messages free of cost from your mobile phone.

Fring is based on peer-to-peer internet technology, just like Skype. It uses peer-to-peer internet technology to activate a call from a mobile phone to another over the internet. Both the caller and the receiver need to have the Fring application in their mobile phone in order to be able to use this service. You can also chat with your friends right on your mobile phone via text messages just like you do with instant messengers. And all this, is free of cost.

You will not be charged for the air time and you will not be charged for the text messages you send via Fringe. You will just have to pay the normal data charges every month. Fring supports online communities like Yahoo, AIM, Skype, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, Twitter, and ICQ. The service is also available in six different languages apart from English, making it accessible for non-English speakers.

The only downside is, not everyone can download and use Fring. You need to have a Symbian 8 or 9 or Windows Mobile 5 or 6 to be able to use this. So far, Fring enjoys success with users from over 160 countries.
