Ever wonder how much data fring consumes when making a VoIP call or even when idle? Personally, I really like fring which I like to call “the Swiss army knife of mobile VoIP and IM”, since it works with Skype, SIP, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, and AIM.

Well, I found the answer to this question on fring’s blog which was posted today.

When idle, fring also consumes an additional 10kb per hour of connectivity to communicate with fring’s servers. This is needed to get/push presence and other info.
