> Have you tried a Video Call?
Bookmark topic
The network took a revelation in past year or so and we have introduced the notion of video calling, but do we really use it?
I tired it for the first time from my P990i on the orange network where I get an allowance of 30min and it's great, except the audio lag but the whole idea was a real thrill to me. I would like to know how everyone else felt about it... have you tired a video call before? Do you even have a 3G video calling phone?

Good Evening.
Yep been using Video Calling for the last 2 years or so.
I used to be on Orange and the only problems i would find is that yes there is a lag on voice to the pictures and it didnt matter what network i contacted. it was the same.
Im now on o2 and get free video calling as it comes out of my 3000min allowence.
ok 3g network on o2 is no where near as massive as orange, but what i can confirm is that there is no lag. the video and voice are in real time.
I have called people on 3, t-mobile, o2 and voda and no lag. I call my friends on Orange and the lag comes back, so its a orange thing
But yes i do like the feature and do use it when ever i can. Im of on my hols soon an i know there is 3g coverage where im going and currenlty o2 does allow 3g from this country so i will video call home. And whats even better i only have to pay the normal standard network cost when abroad so im even happier
Hope this helps. anything else just ask

thanks for a great reply! Perhaps I'll investigate more into the lag, unfortunately I've yet another 17months to go before I can upgrade or migrate to different network.

I tried it when I still had my K600/K608i/K618i/N70 back then . . . yes, the VIDEO lags, specially when the person on the other side is moving - sideways or is - dancing . . .

Never. UMTS is a waste of $$$ and battery.

@alex - At my end, the cost of a LIVE-call is just the same with that of a video-call, so why make a CALL when you can call your friend - JACK (in video)

Not on Vodafone Prepay.
If it was the same, of course I'd be doing it

I can't seem to get mine workiing, I just get the message 'video calling unavailable. I have checked with t-mo and it has been set up and the 3G signal is strong too.
Strange.
