Does anyone know what networks work with each other for video calling?
From memory, I once was able to use my T-Mobile MDA Pro to make a video call to my friend Jo’s Vodafone (and vice versa). So that would indicate Vodafone — T-Mobile connectivity.
Can Orange users call T-Mobile users? Or Three users call Vodafone?
Anyone know?

I’ve made video calls from Orange to Three from UK to Italy without any problem.
Posted by luca on February 5th, 2007 at 5:19 pm.As far as I know, all the UK 3G mobile networks (and indeed most international ones) interoperate fine for peer-to-peer video calls. As long as the initial data connection can be placed, the rest of the call is handled using a protocol called 3G-324M which offloads all the actual video encoding/decoding to the handsets rather than the network.
Posted by Matthew on February 5th, 2007 at 6:11 pm.That’s an arse; my N93 on Three didn’t work with Vodafone. I wonder if that’s because it’s an ‘unbranded’ N93 — not a Three handset…
Posted by ewan on February 5th, 2007 at 6:13 pm.Odd - I can video call 3 handsets from my vodafone…
Posted by James Whatley on February 5th, 2007 at 8:04 pm.Orange UK to O2 UK and vice versa works fine, but take both phones roaming onto the same 3G network in Finland and it doesn’t want to work. Now quite whether it’s supposed to work while roaming is a question that I don’t know the answer to
Posted by Alex on February 5th, 2007 at 8:18 pm.Ah it must just be the fact I got the handset unbranded James — thanks for posting!
… or maybe there was no service? Odd… odd…
Posted by ewan on February 5th, 2007 at 8:18 pm.I can confirm that the following work;
02 UK to Three (and vice versa)
02 UK to Orange (and vice versa)
Three to Orange (and vice versa)
Those are the only combinations I have tried, personally.
