Nokia symbian mobiles though have lost the top position in the smartphone category however they haven’t lost their charm completely. A lot of people still use Nokia Symbian S40/S60 series based phones. Infact Nokia recently launched Pureview phone (with 41MP Camera) which is also based on Symbian. So if so many people are using Nokia phones, then they certainly need all the capabilities and features available to people using android or iOS. One such feature about which many people have asked is Video Calling. Essentially the only requirement of video calling is internet on mobile, video calling application and a phone with front facing camera. If your phone is having all of these then you can enjoy video calls on your mobile.
- Calls from one smartphone to other smartphone using same application is always free – If you are using app “X” on your Nokia phone and your friend is using same app “X” on his android, then you two can video chat each other for free.
- Need for high speed internet on mobile: Video call quality will be poor with gprs connection. It will be good either with 3G or Wifi connection.
- Your phone should be having front facing camera. You can also use rear camera of your phone for video calling.
