Fring, the IM client that’s on Android and iOS is citing it’s the first to do free mobile group video calls, after announcing that it’s testing out the service in private beta.

The fring-feature lets four friends video call each other simultaneously, making it a mobile video calling party of sorts.

Those opting to make a four-way call will see their screen cut into quarters with videos in each section.

Users can sign up to the Fring beta via the company’s blog, Pocket-lint's already on the private beta and we will bring you our thoughts once we’ve had a better chance to play with it.
