Nokia N95 Video Calling

Call up friends and chat away face-to-face with video calling on the N95

The Nokia N95 features a secondary camera just above the screen for video calling, however, to use this application you must first invest in a USIM card (an advanced SIM used in 3G mobile phones) and be in the coverage of a UMTS (3G) network.

If you have all of the above requirements then making a Video Call to someone else also with all of the above technology is simple.

From the start-up screen:

* Select the Main Menu button to the left of the directional keys
* Select Contacts
* Choose the contact you wish to participate in your Video Call
* Select Options then scroll down and select Video Call

The Video Call may take a little time to you will see the message “Waiting for a video call” when the call is successful you will see two video images and hear sound through the loudspeaker.

You can then chat away. All video calls are charged at a video call rate. For more information of this contact your network provider. Not all network providers allow for video calls, but with the growth of in-built 3G this is slowly changing. If you want video calling as a main feature of your phone then check with the manufacturer and your provider that it is possible.

3G

3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology, superseding 2.5G, and preceding 4G. It is based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) family of standards under the International Mobile Telecommunications programme, IMT-2000.

3G networks enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony, video calls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment. Additional features also include HSPA(High Speed Packet Access) data transmission capabilities able to deliver speeds up to 14.4Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8Mbit/s on the uplink.

Unlike IEEE 802.11 (common names Wi-Fi or WLAN) networks, 3G networks are wide area cellular telephone networks which evolved to incorporate high-speed internet access and video telephony. IEEE 802.11 networks are short range, high-bandwidth networks primarily developed for data.
