Making a video call
When you make a video call (network service), you can see a real-time, two-way
video between you and the call recipient. The live video image or video image
captured by the camera in your device is shown to the video call recipient
To make a video call, you must have a USIM card and be in the coverage area of a
UMTS network. For availability of and subscription to video call services, contact your
network service provider.
Video calls can only be made between two parties. They can be made to compatible
mobile devices or ISDN clients. Video calls cannot be made while another voice,
video, or data call is active.
