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 the selected still 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 have a USIM card
and be in the coverage of a UMTS network. For availability
of and subscription to video call services, contact your
network operator or 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.

Warning! You cannot make emergency calls in the

Imaging mode because the keypad is not active. To make
an emergency call, activate the Fold open mode.

Icons:

You are not receiving video (the recipient is not

sending video or the network is not transmitting it).

You have denied video sending from your device. To

send a still image instead, see ‘Call settings’, p. 106.

Starting a video call may take a while.

Waiting for image

is shown. If the call is not successful (for example, video
calls are not supported by the network, or the receiving
device is not compatible) you are asked if you want to try
a normal call or send a message instead.

The video call is active when you see two video images,
and hear the sound through the loudspeaker. The call
recipient may deny video sending (

), in which case you

hear the sound and may see a still image or a grey
background graphic.
