It’s already a given that I’ll sell my soul for the first iPhone application to allow me to make SkypeOut calls from my iPhone. I make a lot of long distance calls and I have to run home to a landline because cellphone long-distance plans in Canada are so insanely expensive (if you wonder why I have a landline in the first places, it’s a long story involving my building’s buzzer).
Well, the day has come 
fring now has an iPhone app that includes Skype integration. It’s definitely Beta, so only try it if you have a strong geek stomach, but it works!
Some quick tips if you’re making SkypeOut calls like me. Make sure to prepend “001″ to all the numbers you call e.g. 001-416-555-1234. Also, there’s no way to make touch-tone sounds during a call, so you can’t use any touch-tone phone service (damn, no ordering pizzas). But give these guys a few more weeks and I’m sure they’ll get it.
Anyhow, another amazing app for the iPhone. Huzzah!
(Thanks fuzzz)
Holding down the 0 key for a couple seconds will insert the + so you don’t have to put the 001… +1 416 555 1234 will work as well.
Call quality is good but a little echo-y in this version.
Only other thing I found is that in order to authenticate with Skype you need to be running off of wifi as VoiP services are blocked when on 3G.
I knew it was too good to be true. The fring servers are overloaded and I can’t make any SkypeOut calls today. Blast!
