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 have a USIM card
and be in the coverage of a UMTS network. For availability
of and subscription to video call services, contact your
wireless service provider.

A video call can only be made between two parties. The
video call can be made to a compatible mobile device or an
ISDN client. Video calls cannot be made while another
voice, video, or data call is active.

video (the recipient is not
sending video or the

The secondary camera on the front is used by default for
video calls. If the lens cover is open, the main camera is
used instead. Starting a video call may take a while.

Waiting for video 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 text or
multimedia 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 only hear

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