I installed this software and now it requires me to use a fring login/password before doing anything else. In other words fring has access to my login/password on other services.

Give this a thumbs down and uninstalling it.

Anyone who is using this for Skype out…
My Skype out did not work tell i fixed a few things, don’t know if you need to do this but trying will not harm.
1: Set the number you want to phone on a normal Skype contact (using your computer and windows Skype account)
2: Use the international number +1AAABBBCCCC (make sure to have the other country code in if calling to another country and don’t forget the “+”)
3: There is a bug with the sound; you need to set the volume ALL VOLUME to at least 1 up. (This includes ringer/system/alert volume) WHY? I don’t know but it does not seam to use the normal volume setting for the app.

This software is utter pile of unowhat… It makes my HTC Dream reboot while I use Browser, and it re-launches itself at the boot time. Though I’d appreciate ability to skype from my phone, I’m sending this app to the trash bin.

@AJ: You need to set up your Skype account first. Hit Menu, Add-ons and select Skype. Enter Skype login credentials and in your main screen you should see your Skype contacts appear.

skype out worked on my Droid

So, I thought my idea out a little more and I have never used a MiFi BUT IF I were to carry around a MiFi at all times with my Droid couldn’t I cancel my cell plan and have people call my Google Voice number, forward my calls to my Gizmo5 SIP number, and answer all of my calls using Fring on my Droid? This way I would ONLY have to pay for a MiFi data package but use it for BOTH data and voice? Is this Google’s plan with buying Gizmo5? Will they come out with a similar program more integrated? Wasn’t there an article/rumor that Motorola had a device passed by the FCC that had MiFi integrated? Any comments or is my analysis way off?

This is kinda cool because I was able to have someone call my Google Voice Number(which I setup to forward to my Gizmo5 SIP number) and it would would ring my android phone. I’m not sure if it was connected with 3G or WiFi but if I were able to connect with WiFi I could theoretically cancel my cell service and use my Droid as just a home phone. Not entirely practical for me… but interesting.

Pulled this app down and I don’t see any way to make skype to skype calls… Also looks like the Android Skype app dosn’t do skype to skype ether. Anyone know if this is possible?

great to see the SIP integration too, awesome!
one request I have for Fring: how do I enter a phone number to call when the number is not in my contact list? there’s no field to enter numbers, you can only call your existing contacts.

Any reason there are nearly no settings to customize this thing? I was so looking forward to fring, but I can’t even set it to not show offline people. How about a different icon for a different IM, sorting by IM program? Maybe I missed where to set those. Anyone?
