Recognized mobile VoIP provider, fring has unveiled the fring mobile VoIP (mVoIP) client, which will be specially optimized for The Cloud, a European wireless broadband provider.

 

The joint service will provide fring mVoIP communication for all The Cloud users, who will be able to call and chat for free with other fring users and with Skype, Google (News - Alert) Talk, Windows Live Messenger (MSN) and SIP contacts over The Cloud's Wi-Fi networks and other Wi-Fi, 3G and GPRS networks.

 

"As a leading provider of Wi-Fi access across Europe, we are constantly expanding the range of innovative services we offer. Partnering with fring enables our users to easily access The Cloud from their regular GSM handsets to make free mobile Internet calls and real-time chat," said Owen Geddes, Director of Business Development at The Cloud.

 

fring enabled phones recognize, login and register on The Cloud network automatically. This means that users will find their fring and Cloud credentials automatically activated and synchronized.

 

"Auto-connection to The Cloud's Wi-Fi network, which covers the City of London as well as 7,500 locations across the UK, will give fring users easier freedom of movement to mVoIP talk and chat with unaided Internet access from their mobile handsets," said Roy Timor-Rousso, VP Product Marketing, fring. "This Wi-Fi offering further helps users declare their mobile independence by letting them choose the preferred mobile communication network and provider for each phone call, be it their traditional cellular operator or Skype (News - Alert), Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger (MSN) or SIP providers over their Cloud or alternative Wi-Fi connections, 3G or GPRS."

 

Last month, The Cloud unleashed Europe's most hi-tech Wi-Fi network, spanning the entire City of London.
