I guess this might be the next big thing for VoIP. I am at least mighty impressed! I have for some time been looking for a new mobilephone, and today I bought a Nokia E60 for 1 NOK, simply cause it has built in wifi. Why? I wanted to start using Fring. Fring is for now at least free, and is a multi IM client supporting Google Talk, Skype and MSN. Fring is making use of a patent pending P2P Mobile VoIP technology. The requirements are a Nokia Symbian-based phone with GPRS, UMTS and wifi. As […] Continue reading →

The service is still in a beta, but my first experiences with the solution is great. The service is free for excisting Telio […] Continue reading →

I have been a Telio user, no a satisfied Telio user, for more then a year, and their services become more and more impressive. It started with free calls to all house phones in Norway, and later also to Sweden. Then unlimited free calls to Western-Europe, United States and Canada, and a 100 free minutes per month to another 15 countries (Eastern-Europe, Japan, China, New Zealand and Australia). From August 1st they are revolutioning the telecom market in Scandinvia once again. From that […] Continue reading →
