fring VoIP client for Apple iPhone

fring has become the latest group to launch a VoIP application for the Apple iPhone.

The application is currently in beta stage.

fring VoIP client requires a jailbroken iPhone (obviously!) and it enables the user to make calls using the device’s Wi-Fi internet connectivity.

The developers behind the project worked with Holon Institute of Technology academic research labs in Israel to develop this product.

They aim to release the first stable edition of the technology by the end of the year.

fring spoke about this new product: “The special pre-release version will enable iPhone users to get an early taste of fring and discover the freedom of being able to take their fring contacts and buddies from their other favorite online communities mobile on their iPhones. They will also have the ability to make free and low cost mobile calls over Wi-Fi & enjoy rich, IM-style live chat with their online contacts, regardless of whether they are on their mobiles, PC’s or other internet devices.”
