Very BIG bug in FRING,

It will not accept mail adress like name.lastname@gmail.com , i mean that it will not accept the dot ".".
Very annoying for those who have this kind of mail.
Skype voice is good but with a delay.

broken link?

Im at work and hoping for it to show up on app store
does this fring work using 3g too or just wifi?

Niiro13 · Oct 3, 2008, 04:04 PM

Fring was the first IM client for the iPhone which was less than 1 MB (MobileChat was 3 MB and Apollo was like 4).

Now it's the only one above 1.5 MB (1.6 if you count WM).

kwjohns · Oct 3, 2008, 04:05 PM

So how long does this keep you signed in when it isn't running?

Shuts off right when you hit the home button. Doesn't keep you on.

bypass · Oct 3, 2008, 04:36 PM

Does that mean the phone could be used for free international calls when using VoIP through Fring?

alphaod · Oct 3, 2008, 04:38 PM

Quick! Before AT&T has Apple pull this down!

C00rDiNaT0r · Oct 3, 2008, 04:38 PM

I was actually thinking about buying an ipod touch, will fring work on it?

arn · Oct 3, 2008, 04:40 PM

funny... the screenshot shows the fring call working while 3G is active.

Wait so you mean to tell me it is against TOS to tether your laptop to your iPhone but it is not against TOS to provide other ways to use the phone for voice calls? If this stays in place I see AT&T complaining about this....

specialbuddy · Oct 3, 2008, 04:41 PM

I just bought a blackberry yesterday because I figured this would never make the app store. This was the only app I was excited about because I use skype but hate being tied to my computer.

Steve Jobs said VoIP over Wifi was ok when the SDK first launched.

GOOD DEAL, I might just go buy the iphone. I wonder if it will work if i do not tie it to an AT&T account.

I could care less about the wireless plan I just want the phone without a contract and be able to do VOIP

What arn said. Don't forget. SMS texting is unlimited through the IM applications.

This is about the same.

CADer · Oct 3, 2008, 04:44 PM

Hey is there a way to test out the voice quality without having to buy like VoIP Minuets? I am a total Noob to VoIP but would like to know?
