Most of my friends here in Saudi arabia uses fring with skype in connecting with their family, so this news is not good for all of us. I just copied the e-mail sent to users by fring.com as follows. and I hope skype to reconsider.
Hello fringsters,
As you may have noticed, Skype has blocked fring. We are very sorry for any convenience this Skype policy has unfairly caused you.As loyal fring users, you deserve an explanation: Last week, following the surge in fring video calling traffic, fring service to Skype was temporarily reduced . Unfortunately, Skype and their legal team demanded not to restore your connectivity to Skype via fring.
Needless to say, we are very disappointed that Skype is now trying to muzzle competition, even at the expense of its own users.
While we regret Skype’s decision to block fring, we are committed to continuing to provide you with market-leading innovation, to keep you in touch with your friends, wherever they are.
On fring you can freely use the best mobile over internet communication like video calling, calls and chat anywhere (3G/4G/WiFi) on any advanced Smartphone.
So, if you are frustrated like us with communication barriers, and are just looking for a fun and easy way to stay in touch with your friends on the go, tell them about fring and
invite your friends to join fring hereWe appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with great mobile innovations.
Let freedom fring!
the fringTEAM.
Hope skype and fring resolves any issues they may have.
