Video calls

When you make a video call, you can see a real-time, two-way video
between you and the recipient of the call. The live video image or video
image captured by the camera in your device is shown to the video call
recipient.

To be able to make a video call, you must be in the coverage of a UMTS
network. You may need to use a USIM card to make video calls. For
availability of and subscription to video call services, contact your
service provider. A video call can only be made between two parties. The
video call can be made to a compatible mobile phone or an ISDN client.
Video calls cannot be made while there is another voice, video, or data
call active.
