I cannot find a thread on it but my mate just linked me to it.

Download tringme install it. Obviously the other BB users needs to have it installed as well.

Sorry if this is the wrong section or if this is really old news and i am late on the scene :D.

False alarm on the free bit but still cheaper than our call rates.

So, its free if both users have the app installed and if u dial a landline, u get charged? So it sounds like Skype for phones?
 
I just heard about this earlier today too - a message is doing the rounds on BBM.
I tried to download it - went to the link but nothing happened. Wouldn't download.

Will try again later.
 
I installed it on both my wifes and my phones.
I tried making a call, but it tells me I dont have enough credits, which you need to buy. :(
 
Hi All,

Please note that to make FREE calls you and your family/friends MUST be on WiFi or 3G and MUST be using the TringMe application (the application can be downloaded from bb.tringme.com).

To use FREE WiFi-to-WiFi or 3G calling, you MUST be using our latest version (1.3.x) and should be connected to WiFi or 3G. You will see a green dot on the top right corner if you are ready to receive calls using the application. If you see a red dot, that means you aren't ready to receive incoming calls which generally happens if the network connectivity is lost.

Your number (876xxxxxx) can be viewed from the Options screen (go to menu and click on Options). When your friends or family dial this number using TringMe application, you will get an incoming call on the application and then you can talk FREE.

You do not need any credits to make a free call. You will need credits only if you are dialing someone who is not using this application or not on WiFi/3G. TringMe application will indicate whether it's a free or paid call.

You can contact us at tringmesupport.com if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
TringMe Support

How I understand it is that you pay for Data usage Like Skype or am I wrong. You make a usual VoIP call... which uses DATA... and ie.. is not free...?
 
I cannot get it to call even though I have 3G connection.
 
Ok, my wifes BB had a red dot and mine was green because I was on wifi.
I'll put both on wifi and try again.
 
Doesn't work! No green dot on 3G. And when I tried making a call using wifi/3G it caused my phone to reboot.
