The first company to capitalize on this change was href="http://mashable.com/2010/01/27/voip-3g/">iCall, and now another popular instant messaging/chat client, Fring, has enabled href="http://www.fring.com/blog/?p=1983" target="_blank">video and voice chat over a 3G connection.

To be able to use this new feature, just fire up (or restart) Fring, and the restriction for 3G VoIP calls will be gone. Some users may still be getting the message that “voip calls are not allowed…” If this happens, click on “More”, then “Go offline” and then reopen Fring.

Check out a video showcasing these new features below.
