does this work with backgrounder well?

EDIT: answered my own question... works great and its free... my fav new app! Let's see how the battery does!

[jandrad]

I'll try and see what happens!

I tried it at least with MSN for chating and works great with backgrounder!

Did this get released early or something? I just noticed the release date reads 10/9/08 lol

[Dragonx]

I think they did. I looked for it on the app store through my phone and it doesn't show. I have to wait to get home and try the itunes link since I am still at work. I did a search for voip and for fring and no results. I also looked under social networking catagory and nothing.

it's NOT in the UK app store, I guess we are not allowed to use it?????John

yeah I was only able to get it on itunes and then sync it to my phone, was not able to load the appstore on my phone and download straight from there. great app though

I cannot find Fring on iTunes or on the App Store (iphone)

Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: I found it under social networking......It seems to not like the search feature......weird

Fring + Backgrounder + GrandCentral + Gizmo = No AT&T

OK I get the fring and Backgrounder but how do you use grand central and gizmo to compliment it. I have both. From what I can see with gizmo you still have to pay for outgoing calls to landlines and it still costs for an incoming number, that is unless you give people the access number to dial your sip number. So as I see things it may cheaper in some regard but not free. That is unless I am overlooking something...

FINALLY, working skype IM on the iPhone, and VOIP to boot, for free! I love this app!

[mad_llib]

What's the cheapest/best SIP or VOIP solution? I want to be able to call into and out of land lines... and have a way people can call me too... I was thinking SKYPE, and I've used skype before, but if there's a cheaper better option... what do you guys recommend?
