Skype VoIP Compatible Phones in India

For the broadband-enabled, the perfect accessory is a phone or Wi-Fi enabled device that can let you run VoIP apps like Skype, either directly or through a third party app like Fring or Nimbuzz. It’s a big money saver when calling relatives or friends abroad. The old way to run these apps would be to use a desktop PC, laptop, or netbook, but being tethered to all that hardware is painful. With a Wi-Fi capable phone, you can run errands around the house, or make a cup of tea while having a voice chat on Skype on your hands-free.

If Skype doesn’t support your phone, there are workarounds – Fring, which supports voice over Skype, Windows Live Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk, Yahoo! and AIM, has a wider compatibility list. I’ve used Fring both on my iPod Touch; it’s a bit slow and unreliable at times, but can get the job done. Fring supports free video calls as well over Skype on Symbian phones, though I haven’t tried it out, it sounds like the coolest thing.

Fring is compatible with Symbian, Windows, Android, Linux and iOS devices, a list of Fring enabled smart-phones can let you make free VoIP calls would be quite exhaustive if we tried to compile one, so we’re going to use table of compatible smartphones as a reference point.
