Hi all,
Is it possible to make a video call to a PC with broadband and a web cam?

i've tried with AOL 9.0, Yahoo, and BT Communicator.

I think it does'nt work due to the network signals or something. it might be possible in the future.....

That's a shame since i think it would be a big help for 3G usage to get people using video phones with friends around the world on pc's.

3 Australia used to allow its customers to make video-calls to computers when they first launched, although I don't think this service is still available...

This would indeed be a killer app. Compatibility with iChat AV or Skype would certainly accelerate take up of 3G phones in my opinion.

I've had mine for a month now and still not made a video call because quite simply noone else has got one.
