TringMe has been blocked in China (the Chinese govt. earlier blocked Skype as well) – it’s extremely popular in China owing to their partnership with a Chinese social network (which has 3 million users).
In another development, TringMe is getting great traction over the recent discussion around the ability to do VoIP when flying in the clouds.
Aircell launched inflight Wi-Fi service and blocked VoIP calls and it seems the only way to make VoIP calls was to use TringMe’s widgets, over Phweet!.
TringMe uses TCP and it was a conscious decision. We developed a sophisticated congestion control and packet handling algorithms which allowed us to achieve the advantage of UDP over a reliable TCP connection at good extent. As Dan and others would have noticed, we send traffic in varying small and larger blocks depending on network conditions which is way different from a typical VoIP traffic patterns. This kind of pattern was not meant to break any VoIP blockages, however the goal was to get the best quality even on slower or congested links & we were able to meet the design goal successfully.

I would say Tringme is one of those interesting startup, which is making interesting execution, I am not aware who all are in team , but its really cool to see “Always be in News in all 4-5 month”.
Maybe that is interesting learning for startup [and non-startup as well] to, keep your product updating, rocking, get integrating and more !

Thanks Ashish for covering this. We are disappointed by Chinese governements action to specifically target TringMe while other US based VOIP companies are allowed to pass through Golden Firewall of China.
Chinese products have found in-ways into all markets of the world. While India continues to promote Chinese products everywhere, either it is a local market, electronics store or even a government organization like BSNL that introduces Chinese Telecom products into every home (as DSL modems), China apparently has no qualms in blocking an Indian company entering their market.
