Fring, an Israeli startup, has launched their native iPhone application that allows iPhone owners to make Skype and other VoIP calls over Wi-Fi, as well as supporting Instant Messaging for Google, ICQ, MSN, Twitter, AIM, and Yahoo contacts.

Of note, this application requires a jailbroken iPhone, but should be available for all iPhones through the online store once iPhone firmware 2.0 is released.

For international iPhone travelers, this is great news, as it will allow for voice calls and IM without a local voice/data plan.
