Many people don't even know that you can call other people using video data. Video calling on MegaFon is the very service that allows people to see each other on the screens of their mobile phones. Let's take a look at how a video call works and why it is needed.

At the end of 2008, third generation 3G cellular networks began to actively develop in Russia. MegaFon opened its first network in the North-West. Over time, they appeared in other Russian regions, including Moscow and the Moscow region. From their very beginning, third-generation networks were aimed at providing high-speed Internet services; minimal attention was paid to the possibility of conducting video communication sessions.

The 3G format really provides high-speed Internet access. At the same time, it allows you to make video calls using mobile phones that can work in third generation networks. A typical difference between such handsets is the presence of a front camera that allows you to broadcast the face of the talking subscriber. At the same time, installing any additional software not required.

A video call on MegaFon is only available if the phones of both subscribers support it. Unlike Skype, where you need to install a separate program, there is no need to install anything here - you can easily make a video call if your mobile phone there is a corresponding function (look for the line “Video call” or “Video call” in the call list).

The main advantages of video calls from MegaFon:

  • Works on all phones that support 3G and video calls;

Let's see how much a video call on MegaFon costs. A double tariff scheme is used here - When making a video call, the outgoing call in this direction and the traffic used are paid for. Therefore, it is most profitable to use video calls for those who are served on package plans. tariff plans– both minutes and Internet access are provided here.
