Fring is a mobile application that provides free VoIP calling & instant messenger on cell phones. The recent release of fring is now available for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 series devices. This preview release truly brings VoIP experience to Windows based Smart phones and Pocket PCs allowing you to make calls over any 3G, GPRS or Wi-Fi Internet connection.

Fring has came a long way since our previous coverage and has continued to expand its offerings. It supports a wide range of mobile devices powered by Symbian or Windows mobile platform. It is also an instant messenger which supports multiple IM service providers and protocols including MSN, Skype, Gtalk, Twitter & SIP.

It supports chat and voice conversation with your friends on MSN, Skype, GTalk or fring’s network. You can make calls long distance PSTN or Mobile calls with SkypeOut or use a SIP provider like GizmoProject, SIPNET, VoipCheap, VoipStunt or FWD.

I use fring + VoipStunt on my Nokia and HTC Wizard phone over GPRS to make long distance VoIP Calls. It works flawlessly, the sound quality is good (if not best) and it does not consumes too much of phone’s resources or battery.

Give it a try… it’s fringing free!
