I have MGtalk for GTalk but the idea of have a common application supporting both these popular chat apps (and specially so if the Voice part for BOTH works well as MGtalk seems to be only able to handle the text chat part of GTALK but not the voice chat) I has installed iSkoot for this purpose and it seems alright.

My office gets no cell coverage at all, so I prefer an app like fring, which I can use over wi-fi.

Funnily my office also has got little cell coverage but for the life of me, I cant get my E61 to connect to wifi on office (as they use some crazy security logic tied to our Windows domain using 3rd party tool Odyssey). It would be Supercool if that were to work... Well, not really. iSkoot also asks for an access point so it can too work over edge, 3g or wi-fi.

But when you actually call one of your contacts, it routes this call through a phone number. So the actual call you make is not through a data connection. iSkoot connects to their server and retrieves your contacts using data access points.
