Why do T-Mobile not allow them on Pay As You Go? I have a K770i on Vodafone while my dad has a K850i on T-Mobile. I can make video calls while any from his phone fail because its not supported by the network? Why is this when all the other networks allow it?

Probably because so few video calls are made that it isn't worth their while.

makes you laugh that networks thought video calling was going to be a must have product.

That's because network execs know about calls and were (some still are) resistant/unimaginative to other uses of phones. When 3G was planned, the first thing they thought of was other ways to make a call.

It didn't seem to cross their mind that many circumstances when you use your mobile are innapropriate for video calls. and holding your phone in front of your face is hardly practical in many circumstances.
