LONDON -- fring[TM] today further underlined its leading position as the only true end-to-end mVoIP (mobile VoIP) application provider certified by Symbian 'Signed for Nokia Program'. Operating on all Nokia S60 3rd edition handsets, fringsters can now talk and chat over Skype, Google Talk and MSN Messenger in addition to other fring users, for free.
fring[TM] is a free, PC-independent, downloadable mobile phone application that enables anyone with a compatible handset1 to talk and chat for free. fring users calling over 3G mobile networks use only the data within their existing subscription agreement and are not charged for air time. fring can also be used over Wi-Fi at home, in the office or at the many "hot spot" cafes making mobile calls completely free. fring is mobile-operator independent and is available by SMS invitation from a fring[TM] user or by registering at www.fring.com.
"fring[TM] was the first true peer-to-peer mVoIP application for S60 2nd edition (Symbian 8) handsets, and is now the first 3rd party mVoIP application to be certified by Symbian for use with all Nokia S60 3rd edition (Symbian 9) handsets," commented Avi Shechter, co-founder and CEO. "fring[TM] is a break for freedom for users who demand real mobile independence and who want to leverage the power and freedom of the Internet from their mobile phones, roaming freely between wireless network operators (GPRS, 3G, Wi-Fi) and enjoying the benefits of multiple IM providers (Skype, Google Talk and MSN Messenger)."
As a testament to its leadership position, fring[TM] will be awarded the Nokia "application of the week," presented on Nokia's S60 and Developer websites on Tuesday February 13 at http://www.s60.com/life/application/ and http://www.nokia.com/A4126195.
