*Fring, Fring* VoIP is calling on your iPhone

By Zach Flauaus ⋅ October 6, 2008 ⋅ One comment

The iPhone 2.0 software brought the idea of VoIP to your iPhone and now Fring has made that idea a reality. Working only on WiFi, Fring allows you to use your Skype account (or a separate SIP service) and lets you call people in your contact list for free as if you were using your [...]
