Where are you James? I am nervous now about the next thing to do as per your e-mail. I have the text message as you know. Just afraid of doing something wrong. I have internet connection set up OK.

Hi Eleanor,
Fring is great, I use it all the time here.

James I think some people say Fring is OK. You have obviously used it. Is
it satisfactory before I go to the bother of installing it?  Steve told me
it is free.  I would not trust Vodafone though they will ppobably want to
charge me.Smile.

Hi Eleanor,
My e-mail re pricing was talking about IMPlus, not IMPlus for Skype. I
have tried IMPlus for Skype, the quality was relatively similar to the
quality of Fring, and I was not impressed with the way they have setup
Skype calling. Basically, you call someone, and your phone sends a message
to Skype telling it to call your phone number. Then, your phone number is
forwarded to the Skype ID of the person you want to call. Thus, for one
thing the cost is quite high as a consequence, and the audio is transcoded
a couple of times before it reaches you. Add this to the fact that you've
already paid for the product, and you get a pretty shoddy software
sollution!

Fring with Vodafone.

Hi Eleanor,
IMPlus is about £15, depending on exchange rates. I believe it is $29.95
USD

Do I have to pay for it Erica?  I think £15.00 but not sure.

I've not used fring but it is apparently quite low quality.
I've not tried it but IM plus for skype is available from shape services www.shapeservices.com. I use the IM plus program on there already, its a multi-messaging client and it is utterly wonderful! Only thing you can't
do on there is change your screenname unfortunately.
Give that one a shot though, you never know.
