I'm using mine on att and I noticed the video call feature but there's no reviews on it, dose anyone no what video call service is best used with this feature and I'd the stock one just gs2 to gs2
The phone supports native 3G video call on networks that support it.
Basically it works from any damn phone with this feature if both phones are subscribed to 3G and video calling.
In EU and most of asia, this means you can place direct phone to phone video calls without need of any special 3rd party service.
I can place call from SGS2 to SGS1 , N8 of my sis, E72 of my father without any problems. All phones are on different service providers as well.
I am not sure whether ATT supports this in US yet or not.
ATT doesn't support this feature.
I was poking around and they did starting in 2007. It was called Video Share, and, wait for it, it was 35 cents a minute. No wonder it disappeared.

Hi,
I am thinking about buying the Galaxy S II, which is a fine piece of phone. However, I was checking that Skype can be used but without video, except for HTC. So, does that leave us with options like fring only?
Is there a video app from phone to phone and from phone to PC? Is there a skype app with video out there? Or what are the options? As I don't really see the front 2MP camera if there is not even skype video.
Thanks.
Skype will add videocall for most of new android devices next months.
The HTC exclusive will be limited, they are not going to throw their business to the garbage by going only to one brand and one device, at the moment only thunderbold works.
wait a bit and we will have videocall on sii
Samsung is not only to be considered for Skype.
Skype as an organization has added Video calling to their iOS devices, and as we know, Apple is quite stern about Facetime and so on.
Skype will be implementing the Video calling facility that has been added to the iOS devices soon enough. More so, Skype has a different position due to their exclusivity with Verizon, hence they cannot just add Skype with Video Calling and have the US devices utilizing that service and undermine Verizon's rates.
any estimated timeframe when Skype video call is coming to Android?
Hi,
I am from Sri Lanka. I have received a used Dell Streak 7 from my sis which is locked for T Mobile. I tried to get the unlock code from both Dell and T Mobile but they are asking either the purchase documents or details of a data plan, both my sis does not have as she has stopped using the tablet some time back. Currently the tab is in Sri Lanka.
Can anybody give some clue as to what should I do to get this tab unlocked?
Thanks in advance,
Manjula
You'd have better luck asking this in the Dell Streak 7 forum. This is the Dell Streak 5 forum.
However, if your sister doesn't have the proper information, you'll have to pay someone for an unlock code.
To get an unlock code from dell or t-mobile you have to be/show that you are the legitimate owner. And if not your only option is to buy the code from a reputed seller.
There are some web sites as well as ebay sellers that exclusively offer the s7 unlock code. it range from $30 at ebay to $55-$80 in web sites. Yet success rate is not known. Web sites like look more promising than ebay as usual look more promising (as well as the price) than ebay as usual

Hi,
I bought 4 dell steak 7 from USA & import it to UAE , my problem is that , the phone not work , there isn't any call app in this system , when i put 2 G simcard , the sim card register & receive SMS , but can't make call !
when call to the simcard with other phone , only receive free line & tablet not show any or ring .
Please assist , how can fix it .
Normally I cut noobs some slack on their first post, but this post is just ridiculous. My recommendation is to sell your units, since you clearly don't have a clue what you're doing. After all, you managed to figure out how to quote what I posted, yet not actually read what I posted.
I'd have to agree, for the fact that the S7 CANNOT MAKE CALLS,
it's been asked dozens of times on the S7 forum.
The hardware is (likely) physically incapable of making calls.

the hardware is not likely .. it is physically incapable of making calls because thats the way it is being designed ...
however, there is this bluetooth hardware that allows you to make call using s7 ... i have seen that and even ipad or ipod can also make calls using it...
By make calls I mean cellular calls, the modem is incapable of making the connection.
I'm not talking about voip calls as it can do it natively.
It has a mic and speakers

yeah.. what i said earlier is for cellular calls... i dont even said bout voip ...
I need to do business calls frequently but the cost involved is daunting. can someone give ideas, thanks
They say Skype sucks up your battery life.
I'd recommend Voip Buster. They have an apk for android and their calling rates are really low.
If you buy like 10 Euros/year, it will let you call unlimited mobiles and fix phones for free in USA, Canada, China and other countries.
So, if you have a good internet connection, you could use this application instead of you phone's regular dialer flawlessly.
I hope I have helped.
Been doing international for 25 years, it's piece of cake now with the fast Internet speeds and VOIP, which all major corporations run now and not only for international but nationally as well.
If you're looking to use VOIP, most features offered and cheapest rates I know are callcentric. Localphone is good too but a bit different in its use : it'll save money if you need international local numbers in a bunch of countries.
If you want to stick to POTS, then that's going to be a bit harder and more expensive, and largely depends on which countries you need to reach.

thanks MrCabana and e-motion. callcentric and the others looks good but has subscription plan however I do not want to subscribe I just want a per minute rate calls.
try this new voip app called Global Call, it works on both android and iOS. The international call rate is good, here is the main page you can check it yourself uglobaldotcom at google

Maybe it will be better for you to see the video from youtube here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-kP3ocwS90
I've seen the video and it's really good. Thanks for giving the link, I also found some other videos of Global Call. I guess I'll have to watch some more to better understand the app.
I heard some guy at work bragging about using this Global Call, what is it?

Seems like this app is getting popular on here.
Ill break it down 101 style for you.
It's a voip app for your phone similar to skype except that you can charge money on your phone kind of like chargeable calling cards except that its an app. The rates vary from country to country but it seems like they made most of their rates slightly cheaper than skype's for direct competition. Personally I been using it for about a week and it seems to have cut down my long distance calling bills by about 30% so far. I previously used skype for about 30-50 bucks a month.
Has anybody here have heard of Global Call?
phownage that's a substantial amount of savings for international calls, I'm impressed. so it's somewhat similar to skype only cheaper I get it but how cheap is it? where can I see their rates?

You need to install the app to see the rates or you can check on their website here. Global Call International Rates

There are a few apps with similar names on both Google play and iTunes. I've tried the one with a pink pin logo. You can check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lguplus.GCAClient*

I love my new S9Plus, but I am getting increasingly frustrated in the number of dropped calls I am having.
It doesn't seem to matter if I have several bars or only one or two - I am dropping calls at least 8 or 9 times a day. Even when I have 4 bars.
TOday at work I had four bars (download speeds of 26MB down on lte) and I dropped two calls while talking to my wife. Problem enough that I dropped the calls but my wife thinks I hung up on her.
I live in the US and am on ATT if that matters. I have used International Variants on my last four phones and never had this call drop problem before. NEVER.
I first wonder if there is something I can do about this? Is this caused by software or hardware in the phone? is there a way to test t his? (it is hard to anticpate when I will drop calls. I have had some calls last over 10 minutes without dropping and other times in the same location - call drop out after 1 minute.
Anyone else having this problem? Your help and input is greatly appreciated.
Am I the only one experiencing dropped calls? Signal Strength seems ok - but while talking calls just drop off - I watched the signal strength meter go away and instead saw a circle with a link thru it - no signal I guess - (I think my call would have dropped had I been on a call) for no apparent reason -
Anyone else having an issue with dropped calls or am I the only one?
I'm also having drop outs on Vodafone UK. Only happens when I've been on the phone for more then 5 mins
I had bad quality in calls, hardly understood what the other person said; changed the sim card, all ok now.

I have the samsung unlocked version and using Verizon on it, have not dropped any calls yet but it seems very static sounding. I love the phone, and only talk to my wife on the phone, everyone else I just text so not a huge issue with me.
To OP, this used to happen to me on S4/S7 when the phone would switch between LTE/WCDMA when suddenly I would get no network with signal disappearing and dropping calls. A new firmware fixed that issue in one case and in other case had to replace the phone itself. Can you try changing to "GSM only" to see if this is related to VOLTE at all or bands changing between LTS<=>WCDMA?
As for the static in call, it could be due to lack of VoLTE support.
I went to the ATT Store and they mentioned that ATT has been doing someting with enhanced calling stuff - said it might effect me - but I am not sure I get enhanced calling because I am not on a branded phone. I went ahead and got a new sim card thinking maybe that might help. Will see what happens over the next few days.
I do appreciate the comments - hope this is not a phone issue
I'm on T-Mobile and I am experiencing it as well, and no it's not the service as my One plus 5t doesn't drop any calls in the same area, same sim, same service. Even the Wifi was weak.
I did a support call with Samsung and they advised me to return it.. I ordered another one to see if that one is any better... I'm hoping... If not that will go back as well.

I just got my s9 with att today and am in the states. I'm having the same issue. I have also noticed it is super delayed in sending images via text as well.
I have the issues on my s9 on Vodafone UK there is also a post in the s9 forums about it
It's seems to be affecting a few people and it seems global
So let's hope a FW update fixes it and that the update come soon ar I will return the handset
First the finger print sensor issues. Now this!
My one week old s9+ gave me trouble with the fingerprint error that got fixed with the update. But now my device is dropping almost every other call. Short or long it doesn't matter. I could make calls with no drops in the same spot using the same sim card on my s7 edge. Heading to Samsung tomorrow. Not quiet happy! Device is unlocked. Bought directly from Samsung and I live in Bahrain.

Returning mine today one thing I expect a phone todo is make calls. Most other things I can wait to be fixed.
Going back to my oneplus 5t which I actually think is a better phone
Unless you are using an AT&T S9+ (or one running AT&T firmware), you will drop calls on AT&T because they won't let your phone use VoLTE and it will try and drop to HSPA , which is being reduced network wise every day.
Getting the phone replaced with a new one.
I was delayed a couple of days because of work but I went to samsung today and they did extensive system tests that did not show anything more than a simple log that says "call drop due to weak network" which is not the case. However, I asked them to manually check it by making calls and keeping in on speaker and 2 out of 3 calls dropped and they got it recorded on camera. Now I'm waiting for my replacement. Hopefully this was a flaw in the first batch or something as my device was one if the first here in the country. Also I almost missed my 15 days replacement time frame. Otherwise they would've fixed it instead. Pheww what a relief. If you are experiencing this issue run to your closest Samsung service center and get it replaced.

Seriously!! What a disappointment after being excited about being one of the first people to own the device. I had 2 serious issues from the day I purchased it. Fingerprint sensor then dropped calls. My replacement device will be ready for pickup on Saturday. If it works perfectly I'm willing to forgive them. If not I'm going to demand my money back ! I did not pay around 1000$ for the device so I can drive to service center 3 times in 13 days and end up using my S7 edge again!

In the UK they offered to allow me to return it for replacement but would take about 20 days to get another handset so I have returned it for refund
I strongly suspect your replacement maybe the same.. I think it's a software issue that will need a FW update
Still I will be getting my cash back have decided to buy a new rifle instead

20 days!?! That's a long long time. I'd take the money like u did. They promised to give me a new device by Saturday so let's see. Otherwise I will take my money back and hold the purchase. Maybe I'll buy a different device altogether. Which sucks cuz I wanted the s9+ since it was rumored last year! Good luck with the rifle. Don't be shooting no Samsung employees lol
