MTN 3.5G Video Calling

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MTN video calling is an exciting service which gives you clear visual communication on your 3G enabled handsets which are enablers for video telephony.
The Video Calling plans include Family & Friends video calling on XtraConnect, and pay per second video call rates on all other plans.

One on one Video calling is a service that allows you enjoy face to face calls with family and friends even when you are miles apart. Video calling is as simple as voice calling. However, the only difference is that you will press the video call button instead of the voice call button. Then, hold the phone in front of you to watch the screen. It is possible for you to turn off the camera if you prefer not to be seen.
Family & Friends Video calling is a simple value added feature that brings you to 3G and offers discounted calling rates (15% discount) for video calls you make to MTN numbers of four (4) loved ones, business partners or friends you have registered for this service.

To enjoy Family & Friends Video calling, you need to join the MTN XtraConnect prepaid plan. You can register up to four numbers by dialing *562*1*MTN Number# SEND/OK. To deregister, dial *562*2*MTN Number# SEND/OK. To view the numbers you have registered in your Video family & Friends list, dial *562# SEND/OK

Note: If you are not already on XtraConnect plan, send 700 in a text message to 131 to migrate.
