fring had announced its latest expansion of the newest mVoIP (mobile Voice over Internet Protocol) technology by adding all of Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 series devices to the compatible list of handsets that can run this free service. Now all fringsters (users that uses fring's services) can choose to communicate for free between fring, Skype®, Google Talk™, MSN® Messenger, twitter™ and hundreds of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) providers on any of the 300 Windows Mobile phones and PDAs in addition to more than 20 Nokia devices over any 3G, GPRS or Wi-Fi Internet connection.
This new technology by fring has brought many of the current Wi-Fi enabled but SIM-less Windows Mobile PDAs from the dead and they now can function as open VoIP phones. Internet access is needed to make VoIP phone calls, hold multiple live chat sessions and also make VoIP enabled PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) phone calls.
This service by fring is totally free and it could be downloaded as a mobile phone application that offers real mobile independence to roam freely between 3 kinds of wireless networks (GPRS, 3G, Wi-Fi) and enjoy the benefits of multiple IM (Instant Messaging) from one single contact list. It will save mobile phone users a big sum of money by utilizing free Wi-Fi Internet access that is almost available everywhere and also help users to utilize their usage for those who subscribes to unlimited 3G Internet access data plans, instead of costly mobile phone calls.
This application is currently in BETA testing stage and compatible with the following handset models:
Nokia 60 series, N70 series, N80 series, N90 series, E60 series, E70 series and all Windows Mobile Series 5.0 and 6.0 handsets.

What do you think the mobile operators will do to combat this? They may lose millions or even billions if users start to use this technology fully. Discuss it in my ChatterBox or even my comments area :)
