3 launches international video calling

September 17, 2003

3 UK, the video mobile network, launched Britain's first international video calling service. This means customers will now be able to video call friends, relatives and colleagues in Italy, Sweden, Austria, Australia and Japan.

Customers can already make national video calls - where you can see the person as well as hear them - within the UK. Today's announcement extends this service internationally across the countries where 3 is offering video mobile services. Calls to and from Japan are now also possible with video handsets thanks to an agreement with NTT DoCoMo, a 20% shareholder in 3 UK.

3 customers abroad will also be able to make video calls back to the UK when they are in 3 video mobile coverage area. All customers video calling from the UK will pay a flat fee of £1.50 per minute to make an international video call, and £2.00 per minute to make a video call when roaming overseas.

Gareth Jones, Chief Operating Officer, 3 UK said "International video calling is here. What seemed like science fiction only a few years ago is now within the reach of everyone in the UK. Making a video call is as easy as making a normal phone call from your mobile, but they have much more impact, as you see the person you’re speaking to. You'll never forget making your first international video call, even if it's just to see what the weather is like in Rome.

"As a means of keeping in touch, international video calling allows you to see how friends and family abroad are doing. Or it maybe that you have work contacts that you've never met, an international video call will allow you to meet them for the first time. It is very exciting for us to launch this service, as we know how much fun our customers can have with this service. Seeing, really is believing."

3 customers will soon be able to make international video call to other countries, including Hong Kong, Denmark and Israel.
