  • I dunno whats with the Israel but they always come up with very innovative programs. Remember ICQ back when instant messaging is still in infancy? They created ICQ and easily toppled AOL's AIM.

    Now it's Fring where it is compatible with all OS...well except for Blackberry I guess which I think it is because Blackberry doesn't want Fring on their phones.

    I've been using Fring on my HTC Diamond for a few months now on my Onesuite voip account and it works everytime. My only complain is starting up the program takes about a minute before you can make any calls. Having said that, Fring is the best free all around software you can download and install in your mobile phone.
