    Is it possible to make a video call on the O2 network?

    I've tried it but I keep getting a message saying Video Call Not Supported by Network!

    I've seen it working on a Meteor phone and that just pisses me off!!!!

    Correct. :D.
    To be honest though, Vodafone sort of over-hyped video calls and they've lost alot of the commercial value they could have had. If you're really desperate you can port to 3, Meteor or Vodafone. :D

    They decided to ignore it in favour of pursuing other more worthwhile projects. Initially I was peed off but is Video calling that great anyway?
    The first time I saw it demoed by a friend was on Vodafone, recently I saw it demoed on Meteor by same two peole years later.

    Wouldn't be bothers with it now....

    02 do support video calls, you will need to be provisioned for this service, the name of the SOC escapes me at the moment, but it is possible and I made many many video calls during their network swapout.

    I wasn't getting signal in places I needed it!! And then O2 came out first with the free texts to all networks, so I jumped ship!!

    Don't remember seeing a SOC for it, maybe there's one there from when video calling first came out and they were testing it, but no they don't support it.

    My own opinion but don't really see the point of them, afterall it;s a tine display.

    Yep it does work, Its whether o2 will allow you to make the call.

    Give customer care a shout.
