Video Termination (Call termination) Over the past years the number of 3G phones and 3G subscribers has increases rapidly. In many mobile networks the number of 3G users is still growing, typically upgrading 2G only subscribers. Many 3G users enjoy the high speed internet connection provided by the UMTS / HSPA networks. The growth of usage of this over the last year has been enormous. For a successful video call, both parties need 3G service and coverage and 3G phones (most have video calling functionality). Making a video call is relatively easy on most phones, it is just a matter of clicking on a different button when starting the call. Receiving a video call is exactly the same as receiving a voice call. After accepting the call, many phones will ask if it is okay to send video information back. It is not possible to switch from voice to a video call when the call has been set up. It is also not possible to switch from video to voice after the call is initiated. When someone makes a video call to another user and the call is not successful, many reasons can be the cause.
To name the issues with the receiving party: When a video call is made to another user, and one of the reasons above is valid, the call will be disconnected. Normally the phone does not provide a reason for the disconnection, and the network does not provide an alternative. |
