There is no denying the fact that mobile web is probably the most happening place these days. With scores of startups putting their heads together to solve knotty problems faced by the industry, and coming up with money saving schemes or devising eye popping applications, it’s a whole new world of discoveries. Here is a new service that should help you pack away your laptop for good and get truly mobile.
Talk is cheap
My first pick is fring (www.fring.com), a service that should save you a lot of money, specially if you make a lot of ISD calls. This service promises to exploit the data subscriptions that the carriers offer, and help you save on air time as well as sending SMS from your phone. Fring is a service that lets you use Peer-to-peer technology to send calls from mobile phones over the web free of cost. Fring needs both sender and receiver to have the application on their phones for the calls to be free.
How this works is simple. You initiate the call from your cell phone and connect to web using GPRS service. So instead of paying for airtime, you would used up GPRS minutes. To use services like these, it’s a wise idea to use eat as much as you can plans which charge a fixed monthly rate for GPRS.
Fring is a free download and free to use. However you would need a smart phone that uses symbian 8 or 9, windows mobile 5 or 6 or UIQ operating systems to start using the service. This service also allows you to log in to MSN, Gtalk and yahoo, to send instant message text chats through your mobile.
