Video Share question.

[[email protected]]

So do I need to purchase a add-on to get the video share working on my phone? Or is it now, by a pay-per-use basis?

I remember they were offering like 4.99 for 25 minutes or something like that.

But now, there are no options to add it on, and when I go to my account, and I find a link to add it on, there are no options, its just blank.


So whats going on...?

Because of all the conditions required to make it work, it is not worth the extra cost. There are only four compatible phones. Both the sender and recipient must be in a 3G area with a compatible phone. It would seem that the two parties would have to make a regular call to make sure everything was working right before the sender started the video stream. It might be simpler to send a video by MMS, which has fewer preconditions and does not cost extra if one has a messaging package.

You didn't answer my question. I know what you have just said, but all I am asking is do I have to buy a plan to make it work or is it by a pay per sure basis?

On the following website, pay per use is listed along with the prepaid options near the bottom of the page:
Get Started - Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular

Since there is no Add to Cart link for that, I would think that it requires no action in advance to use it.

Ugh, so today my friend just got the Samsung a707, just like mine. and we were both in a 3G area, but the video share option on both handsets were grey..

wtf....?


Anyone even have a sucessful video share experience?

In the Settings/Connectivity/Connections, there is IMS Settings. The Service must be turned On. Then follow the steps in the link below:

I have no one to call, not that I would try, for the reasons I stated above.

I was looking in the User Guide and they talked about red marks to the right of the 3G symbol. Do you and your friend see those marks while you are in a call? The Video Share should then be a softkey on the right. All connections in a 3G area might not be 3G. You have to look for the 3G symbol with sufficient signal strength that it will not switch to EDGE or GPRS during your call. If the connection drops back to EDGE, you cannot have simultaneous voice and data.
