Are video calls out with your call time and data allowance generally?

I just mean straight video call from your contacts rather than with things like Skype.
Im on android with o2.

'Straight' video calls through the network will be chargeable, no network includes them in your free allowances any more (Three did a few years back but I'm 99% certain they don't any more).

Video calls through Skype or similar will just use your data allowance, assuming the network doesn't block such services.

It seems O2 still include them. See my link above.

I was actually just searching and going to post back that I found that result Roush.

So seems I do then get included video calls as part of package.

Going by Steps post, O2 maybe are the only ones in that case.


thanks all.

My apologies, last I was aware that wasn't the case.

I guess with the rise of smartphones and competing services that don't cost anything, the networks are having to react.

At least we both found out Step

In the case of realising this I just tried it (yes, I fear getting charged of things) and I'm out of 3G range apparently, so cant test it now.
