fring allows you to organize all your IM and phone contacts in one place and rather than using SMS, you can chat freely using Messenger. For $30 per year you can use your SkypeOut account to make free calls to any phone in North America and low cost international calls. If you have a lot of IM contacts, you can not only see when your friends are online, you can also see if they’re typing or not.

The advantage of the chat feature as compared to SMS, is that you can view your entire chat conversation in real-time on your handset and reduce the high accumulated costs of SMS.
