Hi Carl, I tried Fring a few months ago with my WM6 device. I was dissappointed to find out that it isn't really a VOIP softphone in the usual sense. The software you load on your phone is a client to the Fring network, not Asterisk (or skype or anything else). That is, your Fring client connects to the Fring servers then their servers use your credentials to log in to Skype, or the SIP server or whatever. I'm not sure if this is what you were trying but one implication of this is that you can't use Fring to connect directly to an Asterisk server on your LAN. You would have to open up ports on your firewall and let the Fring servers reach your Asterisk box from the outside. Taking into consideration the recent thread on SIP security, there is reason to be cautious about making your Asterisk boxes open to the outside. I'm not sure what your level of experience is with Asterisk, Firewalls etc so I'll put this another way (and please don't take offense if I've oversimplified). When you put in the IP address for Fring to connect to, you can't supply a 192.168.x.y or 172.x.y.z address. These are LAN addresses and Fring is looking for a public IP. In my case, I did get Fring to connect to Unlimitel over 3G and the sound quality was OK but there was some pretty severe delay which I attributed to propagation time on the 3G network. I'm using a Tytn II (Tilt) on Rogers.
