Does Fring IM/VOIP Work With The E71? Their Support Team Says Yes



I haven't checked yet but I'm wondering if the popular and free VOIP/IM application called Fring is compatible with the Nokia E71. Over at the Fring Forums one of the support team members says they haven't fully tested it with the E71, but if you download the Nokia N95 version Fring will work fine. I suspect they are right since the E71 runs on Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, just like the N95 does. Update: In another thread, it looks like a user is have some problems with Fring. They really need to get this fixed as the E71 is almost ready to be released for the mass market. I'll keep you updated.

If you haven't already tried out Fring for S60 you really need to give it a shot. It allows you to connect to all your favorite IM chat services and also lets you make internet calls using Skype and many more VOIP services.

Fring says,

fring™ is a mobile internet service & community that enables you to access & interact with your social networks on-the-go, make free calls and live chat with all your fring, Skype®, MSN® Messenger, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®* friends using your handset’s internet connection rather than costly cellular airtime minutes.

Bringing PC-benefits to the mobile, fring leverages your handset’s internet connection to empower you with mobility and availability as never before, integrating all contacts into one searchable buddy list and all your online applications into one ever-growing catalog of services. fring lets you see who’s online before dialing with contact availability indicators, engage in multiple conversations simultaneously via fring’s chat, send & receive files with our file transfer capabilities and enjoy an ever-growing selection of ‘always on’ fringAdd-ons like facebook, Gmail Notifier, Vtap Video Streaming, Orkut Social Network, Yandex Push Email and many more created by any developers worldwide who want to take their service mobile using fringAPI™.

Beyond fring’s social appeal, it also saves money letting you make affordable local and international calls to landline and regular cellular numbers using your SkypeOut/SkypeIn account or almost any internet voice service (SIP) such as SIPNET, EuteliaVoIP, VoIPVoIP and VoIPTalk, even from non-SIP enabled handsets.

What’s more, fring does all the work for you, automatically logging you into your favorite WiFi hotspots so you save time and hassle without having to configure your WiFi access points each time.

  2. I downloaded also the N95 version, the program starts without issues, however, once you open a chat window the program closes and restarts.
