Make Video Calls on your iPhone with Fring

[confucious]

I got my first phone capable of making video calls over 6 years ago. Since then I think I have made 2, maybe 3 video calls. It really isn't something that appeals to me.

But if you are in the UK and most other countries I would assume, VOIP on your phone will almost certainly be specifically excluded from your data plan. They don't seem very sophisticated in the USA but in the UK using VOIP more than very ocasionally (in which case you might get away with it) will almost certainly be picked up and if you get either a very large bill or have your phone cut off and a very large bill then you really don't have much of a leg to stand on.

I would be very careful using 3GUnrestrictor for this - just because it can be done doesn't mean you should do it.

This will be cool with the next iPhone. For now it's pretty much useless. It's almost like taking a video and then posting sending it in an MMS... its only one way and there is no front facing cam anyway.

doesnt work for me, displays a no video sign.

Not working Skype to my 3G.

If you mean on 3G, you need to install 3G Unrestrictor from Cydia.

You would think these things would be a no-brainer.

I am not sure if what I am going to post is illegal or wrong, but, I must share it, in Cydia, just look for VoIPOver3G, install it and let you use the 3G network in skype, as well the fring, sooo, you can test it

I just test it using the 3g network, my 3gs 32 gb Iphone, accepts video, but I am still not able to send, does it is supposed to send video as well to receive???

[Melech518]

Not illegal or wrong, we all use it. You can also use 3GUnrestrictor

VoIP is specifically prohibited by my data plan so I certainly won't use it. But I'm on T-Mobile.

Heres what it looks like in Action!!

actually pretty cool. Works well with 3G unrestrictor.
