fring now supports auto-roaming between any Wi-Fi and traditional cellular networks. Making full use of the dual-mode power of Wi-Fi/3G devices.

fring auto-roaming enables all dual-mode fring users to automatically connect to recognised Wi-Fi or 3G networks without any manual involvement. If Wi-Fi is not available, fring accesses 3G/GPRS respectively. Unlike current standards, fring auto-roaming operates independent of network type and provider, and on any fring-supported handsets. This flexibility gives users the freedom and optimal experience to automatically roam between any available Wi-Fi and 3G networks.

While active, the auto-roaming for fring will constantly monitor the available wireless channels (3G and GPRS/CDMA and Wi-Fi that the user has previously logged into) and switch between them automatically based on their reception availability. Priority will always be given to the free Wi-Fi connections unless otherwise configured by the user.

For example on entering their home, fring will identify the Wi-Fi zone and switch to it. All VoIP calls and chat will be made over this Wi-Fi connection within its reception area. If the user is on the move, the system will automatically switch the connection to 3G and maintain the user’s on-line availability. When the user enters their preconfigured office, favourite coffee shop or public Wi-Fi hotspot, fring will automatically switch again to the Wi-Fi connection.

fring is a free, downloadable mobile phone application enabling free mVoIP (mobile VoIP) calls, real-time presence and live chat with multiple IM providers. fring users or “fringsters” mVoIP communicate with other fring users, landline or cellular phones using SkypeOut and SIP providers as well as PC contacts through Skype, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, Twitter and ICQ, all through one integrated contact list.
