Fring just one-upped their biggest competitor Skype by offering a new Video calling feature for Android and iOS users. Users who have the app can initiate video conferences over WiFi or 3G that accepts up to four participants. However, it’s not quite available to the public just yet. The video call feature is part of Fring Beta, and you can only get the app if you request it. The iPhone Beta request is over, but Android users can still ask for their Beta invite here. Enjoy!

Israel-based mobile call and chat provider Fring just received $13M of funding from its investors. The $13M was actually part of their third round of financing and while nobody knows the exact amount Fring received from investors since their inception in 2006, people are guessing it’s at around $23M now.

This is great news for Fring users because it means that Fring will be made compatible to more environments like the Android, introduce more new features, support more web-based community services, and make a lot of usability improvements.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with what Fring does, it s is a mobile VoIP service that allows free mobile calling among Fring users. Fring is available through WiFi, 3G, EDGE, or GPRS on the iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Symbian. Download Fring for your mobile phone by visiting Fring.Com.
