Fring integrates users buddy lists from various chat and communications platforms into one interface. Currently, Fring supports accounts on Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Twitter, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, AIM, while offering SIP support for a variety of VoIP providers as well. Setup is easy. Users simply choose which networks they have accounts in, enter their username and password, and Fring will automatically log the user in and add their buddies to its list. Once their platform logins are up, all of their contacts will show up in a unified buddy list.

If you’re on a Fring call and another call comes in over the air, Fring will drop the first call as Apple doesn’t allow background processing.
