@coolapostle: Videocall with my wife? that would be the day! She's on Zain, the eternally-slow-to-implement-anything-data network. But I have made at least three videocalls to colleagues at work (MobiNaija.com) as part of our testing activities, and it was strictly on the MTN network. Inter-network videocalling is yet to be implemented (that's the official stand), and I haven't bothered. Videocalling is like MMS - exciting but with very little everyday value. I'm not sure if and when I'll ever do a videocall out of a real need.

I have made a video call to wife (on her birthday) and one or two colleagues (more of demonstration).
Video call was expected to be the killer feature of 3g, but it hasn't worked out anywhere. I think mainly due to cost. When you talk, you accomplice an important objective, but what do you gain seeing poor quality video of your wife gazing into her phone while paying N1 for every seconds of it?
Nowadays 3g is focused on data.

@all, I've never successfully made a video call any time, so is the quality of the video as bad as adursa described it?

I'm satisfied with the quality of the 3G call I made.I think the picture quality of phone in use also has role to play.

@all I managed to config my ubuntu 8.04 for both dial up via MTN and Starcomms evdo express card. The whole process na like rocket science, well it was worth it sha. I'm slowly weaning meself from the cluthches of microsoft. The only draw back is my fav DJ program )Virtual DJ) is not open source yet. In the meanwhile i will still be dual booting.
Tried the video call in abj a couple of times and i didnt see the person i was calling. Will try it again someday soon.
@fdigital, abeg PM the arrangement too. I be corper and NYSC allowy no cover data charges.
Has anybody purchased anything from the BUYRIGHT online shop before. I want to get an external HD and they are pinging the price @ =N=21,300 for 360gigs with the housing plus shipping to Nasarawa where i'm serving. I hope this aint too steep.
@ all God bless

@area: I can confirm now that MTN's system has been robbing subscribers in this very same way. Huge megabytes of data simply disappear spontaneously and subscribers are cut-off. This has been a steady issue for about 2 weeks now.
The only set of data subscribers who SEEM to have been unaffected by this are those on the 30-day all-night plan.
Literally speaking, its sheer daylight robbery.

My inability to configure Ubuntu for dial up via MTN is a major reason i am still stuck with my vista PC. Can u share tips on how u went abt it?
