So, how do you give fringing freedom to as many fringsters as possible?

This is a question we’re always asking ourselves at fring, and one of the answers we’ve just come up with is the fring Affiliate Program (just rolls off the tongue, huh? It basically gives other players such as SIP, Broadband VoIP ISPs & WiFi providers, a way to offer their services easily to mobile phone users. And here’s the cool part - all the fiddly bits such as user name and password, login details, account settings etc are pre-configured, so it’s hassle free set-up for the user and the account is ready to go mobile immediately after downloading fring.

It’s another example of fring’s openness and freedom. Anyone can come and play and offer fring’s freedom of choice to their customers. Very cool we hope you’ll agree!

If you’re clever enough to have your own SIP, Broadband VoIP ISP or WiFi accounts, go and see if your provider has signed up to fring – if not, send them our way – it’s free of charge for you and for them!

We’ve been hard at work at fring trying to make the fringME! web widget even better and available to even more fringsters. So, our clever developer guys have just come up with a new version for you to put onto web pages that support Flash like MySpace among others.

We’re also now supporting UIQ handsets as well as Symbian with the cool web-to-mobile chat feature, so you can be contacted by all of your online buddies wherever and whenever you want (Find Me not yet available for UIQ handsets).
Stay connected with your internet communities,
have them communicate with you directly from your favorite internet pages via fring.

fringME! enables your entire community of online buddies to reach and find you on your fring-enabled mobile from anywhere on the web, whether they’re fringsters or not. Visitors to any of your own web pages, blogs and pretty much anywhere you have a bit of internet of your own will be able to see instantly whether you’re online, offline, or busy in a call and also chat with you.

To start using fringME! you will need the latest version of fring.
Then simply visit the fringME! web page to choose a cool new fringME! widget design, then copy and paste a small bit of html code onto your chosen web pages, switch on and configure fringME! on your mobile handset, and away you go.
PLUS …(are you reading this sitting down?) if you’re a Symbian user (and one of those lucky b@#&%$ with a GPS equipped handset), your visitors can view your location in real time via Google Maps as well.

Important! (now stand up and pay attention) fring’s privacy settings on your handset require you to switch the fringME! location feature on or off (you know, like ‘Opt in and out’… perfect for those occasions when you don’t want to be found!)
The features included in the fringME! widget will be expanding, with more very cool stuff coming soon.
