The Ojo video phone is by far the best out there. I won't bore you will all the technical details as those can be found at www.ojophone.com. The Ojo video phone purely and simply works! DSL or broadband needed, dial a virtual phone number, party answers and has the option to presnt themselves on camera or not and the video streams at TV quality. If the party isn't home, leave a video message. No messy web cams to setup and operate, no need to pre-arrange calls, no computer needed which is great for grandparents. New model coming which will faciliatate multi user calling / conferencing. If you want reliable quality then it's worth paying for a standalone device and the monthly service. If you can't afford it, stay with the troubled Skype. You get what you pay for! I just wanted to address the non-mobile side of video telephony. The Ojo video phone is by far the best out there.

If you have a contract its expensive but imagine if your on Pay as you go? These things are always priced out of reach of the people who would use it most, 16-26 year olds. MMS is the same but its becoming cheaper. If it was the same as a voice call it would be massively popular. In the UK its just too expensive, the price point is a massive deterrent simple as that.
