Mobile application fring allows you to make free VoIP calls through Skype & GTalk. It is basically an integrated mobile client for Skype & GTalk which uses Skype API. It works on GPRS & 3G network and does not require to connect to your computer or Wi-Fi network. The application also allows to make calls between other fring users and SkypeOut as well. It is an only application/service of its kind and have a patent pending for P2P Mobile VoIP technology. Both, the mobile application & service is totally free. The service is currently in closed Beta and you can download the application for free.

The fring website says that it will work on Nokia’s 3G enabled Symbian handsets and you would require a 3G service provider. Also, they have only few 3G enabled Nokia devices listed in compatibility list. But, I’ve been using it on my Nokia N70 handset with GPRS (EDGE) network and it works great. I don’t see a reason why it should not work with other handsets with GPRS network. However, I recommend EDGE enable handset & network for good connectivity. I suggest you to go ahead and try out with your Symbian handset on GPRS or 3G.
