I received an e-mail from Jon at Fring this morning. He informed me that Fring’s integration with Google Talk, MSN Messenger and Skype includes voice. This means you can call your contacts on any of these networks, of course only paying for the data usage. Jon also told me that Fring now supports SIP even if your phone is not SIP enabled.
Tim from barablu left a comment on my previous post. He said that we may see something regarding MSN within the coming weeks and that they are planning to roll out new features within the next 2 to 3 weeks. There is also a post on their blog which highlights a few of their features. The most interesting to me was My Number:
Our My Number facility is very attractive to those of you who would like a number in a certain country, for business or personal reasons. Some of you have also told us that you use our My Number facility to avoid roaming charges, so people can call you on this number when you are abroad.
It looks like the competition between the different services is starting to increase. I think it’s great, nothing like some competition to stir up innovation. You can read my mobile VOIP round-up here.
