Yes, I'm having this same problem too. I have a name.lastname@gmail.com address, and it just won't accept. "Error: Please enter a valid email address"
Oh well, looks like I'll have to use my old H0tm@!l........
Please fix it, Fring!

Oh. Hmm. Back when I used Fring in jailbreak days, I had an account with my name.lastname@gmail.com address, and it worked.
Just tried logging in with my old username. It works! Looks like they ported the database over! Yay!

I am also experiencing this problem. Formatting the number as +15554443333 does not solve the problem. However, formatting it as +115554443333 allows approximately 20% of the calls to go through. Anyone have any solution or thoughts on this?
After using the text chat feature for a while, I have noticed it's VERY slow and laggy.....
And all those beeps with new messages!! ARGH!!!! It drove me mental!!!!

For less than $30 per YEAR, you can have unlimited calls to landlines and cells within the US (or your country of choice) via a Skype unlimited plan. Sounds pretty sweet to *me* !!!
It seems you have to dial the country code...bummer. A number in the US would be 00 1 310-555-5555
Hope this helps...
**EDIT**: What I wrote above is no longer working for me. Well, it works 1 out of 10 attempts. I have no idea what the fix is....bummed
From what I've seen (the video demo), iCall is a more seemless experience. Significantly better imo. Fring, combined with a Skype subscription, is nice for now though!
you probably know this, but I'm fairly certain that Gmail now allows you to remove or add a period in an email address and the addresses are treated the same.
Still an annoying bug if in fact it exists (i haven't checked to confirm) but in case you didn't know this, it's a work around..
Yes, it is an annoying bug but you are absolutely correct about the periods in gmail addresses. You can remove them or move them around (ie. you can make a filter that keys to a period in a different place).
I also discovered this fring bug so I just removed the period and went on my way.
voipbuster ipkall voxalot
I managed to get voipbuster working on my ipod touch 2g. My advise is to use voipbuster since after an initial 10 Euro payment it's 0 cent to most western countries. Get a free voip in phone number at ipkall (Washington number), link it to voipbuster (which is cheaper than skype and 0 cent to most western countries) via voxalot (free too). In fring on iphone or ipod touch choose SIP --> other and fill out your voxalot username, voxalot password and for proxy us.voxalot.com. Works like a charm. I can both make and receive phone calls. In case you want a local and not a Washinton (360) number you can try to get a local number via Grandcentral and hook that up to your free ipkall 360 number.
You can find details on how Alpineman hooked up his Trio in a similar way in post #55 in following blog:

Cheers and good luck.

Well thats just it, its not free for wifi calls... icall is.
I guess this would be good if you are already a subscribed skype member.
Yes it works great on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch I'm using my Samsung Instinct headphones with a mic.
still a bit confused
i am a bit confused still with this program.. do i have to have sip/or skype to make outgoing calls?
my ultimate goal is to make calls in my home, cause i dont have service. i dont care if it uses up my minutes i have from att. so if i enter someone phone number (+15168885282) would it make the call through the wifi and use up my minutes with att?

Past 9pm would be "nights and weekends," which here in the United States
is either "unlimited" or "5000 minutes" depending on your voice plan.
Okay, I've seen this question asked like ten times on this thread now, and zero answers. I guess no one here really knows.
Ok so i went to the SIP section and hooked myself up to a provider(FWD) which can be found here:

Now i tried to call one of my friends but it keeps saying call terminated.
