How to make Skype calls using Fring
While waiting for Nokia to integrate Skype hopefully by Q3, there are some alternative ways to use your Skype account. You can either create a Skype-To-Go number but that would mean you have to use your mobile minutes instead you can use third party applications such as Nimbuzz or Fring which allows you can make VOIP calls over wifi/3G. Fring is my prefered choice since I have been using it for a long time, but Nimbuzz has Skype capabilities as well. Both of these applications can also make calls to other SIP network and googletalk.
To get started you’ll need to install Fring by going to m.fring.com on your mobile. After installing create a fring account and log in.
After logged in, select Skype and add the service.
Input your Skype id and password.
Once subscribed to Skype you can make a Skype test call to check your speaker and microphone.
Test Skype by selecting the call icon and then Skype Call and follow the voice prompt.
Select Skype Call out to make calls anywhere. Remember you will need Skype credits or Skype Subscription.
You can also add googletalk account to make voice calls to googletalk users. Let me know if you have any questions.
