Fring: VOIP software released for iPod Touch
Posted on April 15th, 2008 in VOIP, jailbreak, third-party software |
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch and you like to make calls for free over a Wi-Fi connection and need a fresh new look and some simplicity, try out Fring. It allows you to use skype to connect with any other Skype member and does so in an attractive manor.
However, it does not only do Skype, it also does MSN Messenger, ICQ, GTalk, SIP, Twitter, AIM, and Yahoo! This is great for anyonr who would like a simple way to connect with friends over a wireless connection.
You can get the application for free by loading up the Installer on a jailbroken device with the company’s repo. Check out YouTube for a demonstration video.

How can the ipod touch make wifi calls if it does not have a microphone? This should work for the iphone but not the ipod touch.
Ummm…You buy one and plug it into the bottom of it…how else?
You always go off the deepend before investigating your claims. It does NOT work with the ipod Touch. NO ONE has made it work. With a hacked ivoice III mic and a jailbroke touch it just crashes when you try to use skype. Spend 5 minutes investigating before you throw up bogus info.
Yeh, says ipod touch/ iphone not supported. Looks like someone’s looking for easy views
LOOK mac rumors said the same thing….

So i guess you can use the MSN and such
it actually does work on an ipod. not completely though. i can receive chats, but don’t write. an for calls…i’ll just wait one or two days….
I tried to install it on my Touch but it keeps on failling…
Wont install.
It does not work with touch. I got it installed, I can text, make and receive calls via skype&sip. BUT cannot receive or transmit audio since the software wants to use an tnternal mike & speaker that don’t exist in the touch.
I got it for my iPod touch and the chat works, but after someone sends me a text it will only work if they call me after. It sends it, but I wont receive anything until after I get a call. trpicalguy you say that u can make and receive calls via Fring and Skype, but it wont work for me. How did u get yours to work? Also there is the iVoice which connects to the USB port on the bottom of the iPod touch that allows you to talk, with some minor adjustments.
