Just downloaded Fring for Iphone.What do you guys think of it? how to use it in Malaysia?
Is it any good.?
Your comments are welcome

Ok, as i am currently using voip to call oversea...Will share here..
The cheapest rate + free 90 free call around the world upon each top up on www.voipcheap.com makes me loyal to them for few years..
U need to purchase credit of EUROS 10 & register an account.. Two ways to make a voip call

1. By downloading & install their softphone software & start making calls (landlines or hp worldwide)
2. SIP call- software such as Fring support SIP. Configure the SIP setting to point to www.voipcheap.com SIP server. Then, with WIFI turn on. U can use your iphone to make calls without a need of a PCs..

Hope this help

the only disadvantage is the wifi thingy

sugen, the euros 10 pay once and free forever?

@ rx330


your answer lies in the underlined word.

@nokia bro,

I see the website, if i register pay 10euro , and the destination is free call, means it not charge me any credits, am i correct?

I didn't check the site unfortunately. I was jus interpreting from sugen's post

ayo must pay meh? i thought free.So i guess its only free if you phone to another pc using skypela?is that correct?

Yes,each time u top up 10euro u will get free call for 90 days.And one good thing is the credit will NEVER expire.Unlike skype,credit will expire n the charge is much more cheaper then skype.Visit www.voipcheap.com for more infor.

Great to c Fring is finally in app store.Had installed n enjoy using it.This ver had disable call via 3G/EDGE.Still I approciate the SIP call via WiFi

It's free for pc to pc skype call. I called my UK and Australia friends from my comp. As long you have the equipments (mics and headphones) with skype, you're set. Can cakap lama lama. Sometimes the connection abit kayu but ok.

@CooLeRthings

You're welcome mate.

Cheers

Fring call to skype PC to PC of course is free leh...or another Fring user is also Free la.. something like u call using yahoo or msn PC to PC call...

Added on October 6, 2008, 5:36 pmU can download via Wifi/3G/EDGE on your iphone itself. Just launch your app store software in your iphone. Then search "Fring".. That is all...

wat i mean was form the iphone
cos the last time i wann use IM skype, but need to pay wen i tried to call pc skype

Ok Cool.What about codes when dialing?Do we just key in area codes or some other codes.?
If i wanna call an iphone using fring do i just type 019/012/016 or +019/+012/+016??? followed by the number?

iinm fring only can be used on wifi only?

i am using skype to make call from iPhone to PC and there is no problem with it.

yup, for the official appstore version, yes...

but if ur iphone is JBroken, there is a hack version of Fring that can be used on 3G

psyeo

Any comments regarding the stability of the JB and app store ones?

@sugen

Got something to ask u..
So if i register an acc in voipcheap..i can make free calls to msia?
I'm in russia now..
And i see malaysia is listed as free..

As long as it is listed FREE. Then u can call, pay attention to whether it is FREE for LAND LINE or mobile phone. Some country is only land line & some is both..

I saw fring is on Free Apps section of iTune's Store ealier ..

So is it free to use or what? Is there any catch?

Fring its self is free
Tested yesterday, if im not mistaken, once u push the home button, u will sign out, therefore i run it on wifi, with the program running . 2 am+ in the morning it rang, a different tone
my wife called me through skype

only thing is it need wifi to work (officially)

Mmm.. Wanna test this application..
Seem good..

When push on HOME Button is will exit the application really a big disadvantage.. u have to keep to program working & can't do others thing...

yea sugen
tis is where beejive comes in handy
even wen u exit, its still ada one, works best with push email

JB it and use backgrounding then

JB can use as background? no wonder a lot of ppl JB......

JB = jailbreak or jailbroken

Note that leaving Fring in the background is a good way to eat up your battery life

I've tried Fring on wifi with my Skypeout account. Sound quality is ok but delay is high calling the US even very late at night (after 1-2am) when the bandwidth is clear. Also it's missing some functionality eg. speaker phone and keypad, I can't call my credit card company in the US, put the call on speakerphone and punch in the card number...

I'm also annoyed that it displays all users whether they're online or not. I have several hundred users and only 10+ people are online at any one time...

Overall it shows promise, but I'm waiting for version 2

yeah, delay, kenot put speaker also

speaking abt makan battery, my wife complain to me her iphone very makan battery, 7pm charge full, no usage, 12 am aredi left half only...

i ask her to send to shop and check, only until tat day she complain again... only i know why... wifi tarak off

how about voipcheap via fring? I had no problem calling oversea hp + land line

Love fring..
In Moscow studying..
Just got off a half hour call to my gf hp in msia..
Cost me like..1.344 euros...about RM6.35..
I buy idd cards here freaking expensive ler...
And the quality of the call is so so so much better..
This is a must for overseas students or businessman!

u use voipcheap on Fring?

Yup.. =)
So clear and perfect call to msia mobile and landlines..

Wanted to use Fring to run MSN.

After registered and log on, the add-ons section in Fring seems to stuck there while loading forever.

Screen shows nothing, no list but kept loading...

my internet connection is fine. Anyone has a solution for this?

Thanks.

try to reboot your iPhone first. if it's still not working try to sync it to itunes. if the problem still persist then there is a bug in fring.

I am using gmail for MSN. But when i log in my gmail for MSN through fring they say got error. Anyone encounter this problem before?
