Back when the iPhone SDK was first announced, one of the most wanted apps was a VOIP client, so we could free ourselves from the tyranny of AT&T’s per-minute calling plans. While Apple nixed that idea very early on, saying that VOIP over AT&T’s Edge or 3-G networks would be against the terms of service, it did say that a VOIP app that only ran over wi-fi would be just fine. That’s exactly what the new application, Fring, allows you to do — make VOIP calls whenever your iPhone/iPod Touch is connected to wi-fi. Fring works with Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk, Twitter, AIM and Yahoo buddy lists. (via Fring Turns Your iPhone into a Free Skype Phone - Webmonkey )
