Sit back, take out the popcorn and enjoy

fringsters are you being harassed, threatened, intimidated or blackmailed by an unidentified person calling from private / withheld / blocked / restricted / unknown number?

intertel.co.za now offers a cool call unmasking service that can provide you with the calling person’s telephone number (plus whatever other subscriber information is available). The service works for both mobile and landlines and “costs R250 per day, and R750 per week”. Via News24

I took the service for a test spin recently using my landline, cellphone and even my FNBConnect account running via fring and I must say I found it the service works brilliantly.

Why take my word for it though take the service for a test run using the free live online support centre.

After fring launched the world’s 1st video calling over Internet on Nokia touch devices, 2 months ago, we heard lots of requests for video on more phones, thus we are adding today video support to most of Nokia’s popular 9.2 series phones, including the ever-popular E71, E51, E66 and more.

Other Nokia device owners, worry not- fring will add video support for even more Nokia devices operating on Symbian 9.3 OS in a week or so…so keep following our blogs for the latest news!

The fringTEAM

Hello fringsters,

We have some great news for all the users out there who’ve been waiting for a video supported version for the E71.

Since fring is all about sharing, we have a limited number of invitations for you to try out the new video supported version for the E71 and other Symbian 9.2 handsets.

The new pre-release version supports Skype and fring video calls over both 3G and WiFi.

If you’d like to be a part of the early access group all you need to do is fill out this form: http://bit.ly/fringE71

I’d like to emphasize the fact that this is a pre-release Alpha version. If you do not feel like being a part of the testing group you can wait a couple of weeks for the official version.

I’ll update the post once we run out of invitations.

Thanks,

SimonB
