Android to Android Video Chat

[Ice]

the whole video chat thing is a complete debacle on Android's behalf. I have a front facing camera, but I can't use the OS to make video calls to anybody else, I need to download a program and then buy credits to use the video chat feature, even though it is covered on my Telstra plan for the phone.

BTW Pete, I though the Samsung could do video chat natively with the Samsung software.....

your saying it will only work android to Android ? and not android to Nokia for eg ?

well basically its to talk to I1 before he goes to bed, since that will be my lunch time effectively with the new job

so i will install fring on my phone and my tablet, the tablet of course staying at home. both have front facing cameras that can be used for it

it's what I want to do as well - except with my parents who live a lot further than my inlaws and don't see the kids that often. For you, Skype would work just as well.

No, it will work, but I have to buy seperate skype/fring credits to make a video call - it's just annoying, especially since the phone comes with a front facing camera anyway.
