exploring voice/video calls on 900 over internet.
 

what services can be used for video calling on n900 ?
skype in india has stopped calls over pstn within the country similarly my operators voip service is doing the same
i want seamless video/audio calls on n900 as n900 is unable to make use of normal video calls so what options are left on n900 that can call outside of their network like skype i.e i want to be able to voice/video phones that reside in a 3g network and are capable of reciving normal video calls .

What's a "normal video call"?

Re: exploring voice/video calls on 900 over internet.
 

normal video calls = you just select video call and it happens = no fuss
anyway i dont know what it is called but you can find it in all symbians some androids i.e traditional cellular video calls where no voip sip is needed as its a service provided by the operators ;

So please elaborate. As I have no clue what you are talking about :confused:

"Normal" video calls introduced with UMTS?
Never used it here in DE as it was terribly expensive and I guess it has the end of life before it was used by masses?

So no idea if N900 supports that all.

on my old S60V5, it call 3G video call. and natively not supported on n900. replaced by skype or SIP.

so if you cannot using skype or SIP. you have no choices i think. "hope i'm wrong"

yeah umts video call as you say it ;

Re: exploring voice/video calls on 900 over internet.
 

I don't know what the problem is with 3G video call. Can anybody clarify it?

I am currently trying to use GTalk. It was rumoured to have audio and video calls, so could be a good Skype alternative for those who do not like Microsoft's ownership of Skype.

For the future, I would think about XMPP-Jabber whatever. But these times, everybody has to have a GMail account - even if it is not actively used - so GTalk is easier to switch to.

Thank you. Best wishes.

Interesting, I was looking for something today and found nothing. Even for a normal VOIP call.

I tried to add google talk account but it keeps coming up wrong password. Same with qvdial which I think is similar that, doesn't allow connection. So if som1 finds something, post it here.

Thanks.
