Introducing: fring for Android!

[hooligans54]

i dont get it so if i add this app it gives me free calling?

[fringland]

@hooligans54 free calls to other users of fring.

[anitarodriguez0102]

Voip is a great concept. Even I am currently using fring on my fone & voip service that I purchased from vontrump.com. It is really cool.

[iceboyhalk]

Can I make video calls with out a front Facing camera?

Can I make video calls with Skype or oovoo or Yahoo?

Thanks

[fringland]

@iceboyhalk It depends which handset type you are using.

[iceboyhalk]

@fringland I have HTC tmobile G2. donno if I can make video calls with my girlfriend on the other side of the world! (I live in Canada, she is in Turkey) so she cannot have an smart phone like we have here.

[iceboyhalk]

@iceboyhalk That's why I want to make video calls to a Computer from my fring account on my HTC G2

[MueraTelevisa]

Being a Jew is your personal life, you don't have to make videos wearing that thing on your head, unless you want to PROMOTE your religion.

I'm atheist but I use to be a catholic Christian, and I never did what you do in this video...

Android is freee!

[claro1217]

how come u took out skype that was the best feature of the app and the only reason i got it

[gustavatwork]

I do not get it - how do I connect to Skype????

"You can make Skype calls..."

[BossLady339]

i have audio problems with video chat i have android

[fringland]

@BossLady339 Can you elaborate ? Please contact our support team.

[jefferson9294]

hey was wondering can we video chat from phone to computer? if someone on their laptop has a webcam?

[photovoltage]

I've got Fring on my Nokia E71 and it works like a charm, can do skype-skype video calls no problem via fring.

[gregoryburrows]

lame vid, nothing proven. Show the calls on speaker phone facing the camera if you want to show it's working.

[welle417]

This app is amazing, i have friends that use skype and Gtalk and my parents use neither, so my $30 a year unlimted skype plan allows me to video chat, filetransfer, internet game with friends and i use my Droid on wifi to call anybody, anywhere... Im in Japan and talk to NJ phones like im in the same zip code-- AWESOME, cant beat it... the video chatting with the droid is somewhat slow but that has a lot to do with the time of day, as the internet slows down at night (when i mostly call home)

[capitalismforever]

I can't figure out how to do video conferencing using Fring. It sucks!!! Qik is so much easier.

[fringland]

@capitalismforever please contact our support team, they will instruct you.

[Luiseota]

@capitalismforever It is so easy, you must have a video capable phone like the evo, if not it isn't gonna work.

[capitalismforever]

@Luiseota I have an EVO. I've owned a computer since the 5th grade. I started programming in Pascal back in the 80's. I'm, without question, computer literate. It took me 4 days to figure out that I needed to sign up for a Skype account in order to make the video conferencing work; and even then, I haven't been able to test it because I don't know anybody who uses Skype.

[TrueVisionSouth]

how do you make a video call using fring to hotmail, aim, yahoo and all these other platforms that they say they support. this is bullshit. Fuk an EVO.

[fringland]

@TrueVisionSouth Video calls in fring are not supported for these services.

[nimrodlevy]

we want video call support for android

[elvergon13]

@nimrodlevy There is video call available for android you just need to enable the option in the fring application.

[KrauZ92]

Do you plan to introduce video calling platform Android operating system?

[flowerfire7]

its not supporting in earphone and ear speaker in android samsung galaxy only works with loud speaker of phone and thats why it repeats the sound on otherside and also low sound in speaker

[Kemalist36]

woav

[daynvattah]

this is not working for motorola milestone, the european version of motorola droid, due to the android 2.0 system.

[ampersandtay]

If you are in a starbucks with free wifi, great, but if you are using "unlimited" 3g roaming, I suggest you check and see exactly how unlimited your unlimited really is. Skype, for instance uses a hell of a lot of data in a single call. It has a use and is a great app, but beware of 3g data costs once you reach your limit.

[jaceves84]

so unlimited data is really not unlimited??

[ampersandtay]

Good Lord no, nothing mobile companies offer as unlimited in the UK, and I suspect elsewhere, is unlimited.

I wrote to O2 and said, we both know you are lying through your teeth when you say "Unlimited" so now, before I sign on, please tell me the truth. They still haven't replied and I went elsewhere.

[annons123]

They will fix that too very soon... :D

[Carsten890]

great :D

[LosOutlandos]

Wonderful, I've been waiting for this!

[mcgenetics]

Leave it to a guy in a yarmulke to show us how to save money on our cell phone bills. *ba dum bump*

[mcgenetics]

no seriously though... can this be configured to sit active all the time so it can be a practical means to "receive" calls when they come in? Also, it uses the data connection only, so it doesn't count toward cell min... and 3) since it uses a sip, you can configure multiple phone numbers and routing right? Thanks!

[jonathan1stewart]

Confusing and overly trite review of what could be a killer app for the Android. He made a call from one friend to another, but can it be used to call international or domestic telephone lines over wi-fi?

[vincevoxbox]

been using it for over a year..its great.

[haaaaaaaaaaanoo]

my phone is 2G i can't use it right? :(

[annons123]

I like Nimbuzz

Nimbuzz is better and faster. You can hide offline users in Nimbuzz.

[uktech]

You guys are great! Thank you so much for this! I just hope it works in the UK.

[vdogg89]

I know you support SIP, but please add Gizmo as one of the "add-ons" in the menu

[hpaulmoon]

The guy in this video says, not very smartly, that he's making a "Wi-Fi 3G" call. There's no such thing, and in fact, the difference between the two is the 90% reason why this is significant for Android phones -- especially since Skype's own Android application fails to place calls over Wi-Fi only connections.

Naturally the major value of Wi-Fi calling is for traveling abroad without having to pay grossly inflated roaming charges.

[ekeefe41]

i think he meant wifi or 3g

i downloaded it and just made a VOIP call over edge, it was awful... but it worked.

i bet over 3g/wifi quality is much better

[Charbax]

This sounds really good. First real Skype on Android, is it better than SIPdroid for SIP calls? I hope so. But could you provide a direct download link on your site to the .apk file so Android tablets, Laptops whatever which may not have Marketplace yet can also get this app..

[jslbrt]

Great idea.
