We were one of the firsts to announce the availability of the Skype Mobile Beta almost 2 years ago, and it has continued to be one of our most popular posts, even to this day. Today, however, the Skype team finally announced the availability of a native Symbian application, specially designed for touchscreen smartphones like [...]
Truphone is one of the leading MOIP (Mobile VOIP) services for Symbian-powered phones, and they’ve recently expanded to support other platforms, as well. However, they’re not quick to forget that it all started with Symbian, and so they’ve recently updated to support the newest Symbian-powered smartphones. Truphone is now available on 11 additional models, including [...]
Fring has released a new version of their popular IM client, v3.4. New features include the ability to combine various profiles of your friends to create a dynamic profile that lists all of a person’s entities together. This way, if you have Jonathan Greene’s Skype, Gtalk, Last.FM, and Twitter account added, you can lump those [...]
I’m not a Fring user, personally, but I know many of you swear by it, particularly for the Skype integration. If that’s you, and you’re the proud owner of a bouncing Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (or one of those few Nokians who read Symbian-Guru sitting there smugly with an N97 on your desk) then I’ve got [...]

You pay per minute, which means that while international calls are much cheaper than using your mobile operator, domestic calls typically are not [...]
VoIP must be the feature each and everyone of us is looking forward to use more extensively in the future. With the advent of Skype, and recently Skype for Mobile, I have been looking more and more into the different offerings, and trying them. It is of high personal interest for me, as I know [...]
Wow, this is hotness. Right on the back of the Skype Unlimited plans recently announced, I’ve been alerted to a beta version of Skype for Nokia’s S60v3 handsets. You can snag the download at http://www.skype.com/m, and it’s definitely a native version just a java app. The application isn’t 100% ‘VoIP’, as it still requires a [...]
Gizmo Project, for those not aware, is a VOIP client that uses SIP. Frankly I have no clue what SIP means, but I know that Gizmo allows you to make phone calls over the internet for much cheaper than you normally could (specifically internationally) and allows free calls between Gizmo users. I have Gizmo installed [...]
