I’ve installed fring and have successfully hooked up MSN and Skype. Here are some of my “tips”. When adding my Skype credentials to Communities, it was hanging for a long time. Eventually my “auto lock” shut the screen off and cancelled the login. So I set it to 5 mins and after 2-3 mins it finally logged in. After that, I tried the SkypeOut via the Dialer and it worked like a charm! Just remember to add “+1” before the area code and number when dialing (thanks JP!). MSN calls worked flawlessly. This app rocks the house!!!
