By | August 26, 2010

For the first time ever, here is an app which will let you make VoIP calls from your BlackBerry phone over WiFi. This app will not use your voice minutes. Tring Me is an Indian based communications company and has come up with the Tring Me app for BlackBerry phones.

Apps such as this were already present for the Symbian, iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile. But BlackBerry users never had such a chance. A lot of the existing VoIP apps make use of your voice minutes. But Tring Me needs only WiFi, and you get WiFi at almost all public places these days. So no matter if you are at an airport, restaurant, coffee shop or anywhere else, you can connect to the local WiFi and start making calls. Easy!!

So if you think you want such an app for your BlackBerry, head over to the official website here and sign up. Singing up is easy, you just need to provide your name and email to them. As usual, you will get an email with no delay with the sign up  link. Once you are done, you have to authorize your phone. Provide your phone number on the website and they will call you with instructions and a security code. Enter that code and you are good to go. You can choose to be reached on your phone or GTalk or be offline or a few more options. You even get your own phone number, so that people can reach you with that.

Good features. Try it out today. Get Tring Me on your BlackBerry now. The official website is here.

    You know the old saying: “If it sounds too good to be true…”.

    Well, it is NOT true that Tringme will allow a Blackberry Bold 9000 on the AT&T network to make WIFI calls!

    Not only are WIFI calls not possible; it is also impossible to get Tringme to stand behind their claims! When you find out you CAN NOT MAKE WIFI CALLS and try to get your money back, Tringme will simply tell you to be happy with “other functionality” and use the product as-is “until they come up with a version that works”!!

    Save your time and money… DON’T purchase this product if you expect to make WIFI calls; it does NOT work!!
