Introduction
About fring
fring™ is a mobile internet service & community that enables you to access & interact
with your social networks on-the-go, including make free calls, live chat and seeing your
contacts online presence with all your fring, MSN® Messenger, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP,
Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®* friends using your handset’s internet connection rather
than costly cellular airtime minutes.
Once you've installed fring, fring's main screen displays your contacts and their presence
status (e.g. online, offline). This list shows the names of your fringster- friends, your
Google-Talk/MSN/ICQ/Yahoo/AIM contacts.

From the main Buddy list you can navigate between your contacts, find their presence
status and initiate a communication session with them. You may initiate a voice call,
start a chat session and move between all open sessions using the Switch' feature.
You can also make SIP calls directly from your fring Buddy list.
To sum it up, you'll not only make your handset more useful, you can also save
money.
This guide will help you get started.
