Fring app now supports 2 way video call over 3G

[bruceleroy]

Don't know it works with computer as well haven't tried it yet just giving a heads up...no were near the quality of FaceTime tho

About to test it now.

 

[maddux2005]

Cool. Just downloaded it. Apparently apple has no problems with other developers using video calling programs

 

[Zaft]

just tested it with a friend, its ok certainly not facetime quality but at least you can do it over 3g. I'm very surprised apple approved this.

Are you guys doing this with other iphone 4 users?

 

[SDNikki]

[trayanscragg]

All I have is Cellular, SkypeOut and SIP....no video calling.

if i'm logged into my skype account and i click on one of my contacts, there are 3 options/icons: one looks like chat, one is a phone, and one is a video camera icon. i chose the video cam icon.

I just had a video chat with a friend on his laptop. It took around 45 seconds for the video to come through and then after that it worked just fine. A tad choppy but it was still cool to do.

Has anyone tryed a video call with someone with an evo?

Yep. Fring (iPhone) to Fring (Evo) works fine.

 

[SDNikki]

does anyone know if this works with other messaging accounts that support video (i.e. google, yahoo)?

 

[California King]

Really laggy...I think it's the app. I've seen fring video calling done with 2 Evo's and saw the same thing...wait for Skype?

[RC83]

Skype has some exclusive mobile deal w/ Verizon last I heard...I may be wrong but I don't think so.

click on a skype contact and what icons do you see?

 

[SiskoKid]

Ya, the app's not very user friendly. And it's ugly as all *******.

I already deleted it after figuring it out but my friend didn't wanna register with his phone number on his end, so I didn't test it. And from peoples' reaction to the app on these forums, it sounds like I'm not missing much.

Here's hoping Skype gets theirs up and running soon

i'm i an idiot? I can't get it to register a new account on fring. It doesn't work for me. any ideas? I get a message saying, this user ID already exists. I'm sure the 20 I have tried are not taken. A couple times i have typed in random numbers and letters.
