Skype Refusing to Make a Video Call

I have $9.80 credit, but Skype tells me I "need to get Skype Credit" to call a number I've called many times in the past. What's the deal with that?

You cannot make 3G video calls via your wireless carrier on iPhone.
You can only make Internet Video Calls.
For some reason Apple Doesn't has that feature.

You'd need an app like Skype to video call with other phones.
Data transfer is not supported via bluetooth and iphone to iphone is not supported at all.

How to Make A Video Call (without FaceTime) from iPhone 4?

I would like to make a video call from my iPhone 4 just like the way all the 3G devices nowadays do (not using the FaceTime, Fring, Tango or Skype).
I want to make video calls to other smartphones using the below facility provided by my telecom service provider :
http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/3G/HTML/VideoCalling.html
The above feature charges a nominal amount for the video calls, and does not require any data to make the call, and they are also quite good in quality.
Also, when my friend calls me using this feature from his Nokia C7, he gets the error "The mobile phone you are trying to make a video call to, does not support it"
For the record, I'm using iOS 4.2.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After the skype 5 headache which many users are experiencing, I just found "" vtok "" in apples app store.
It supports VIDEO and CALL over wifi AND 3G !! It does work fantastic and is FREE.
BUT you would have to set up a free "Google mail" address to get it to work.
It's painless and is a great option.
Amen

How to Make a Video Call Using iChat to Someone Using MS Live Call

What do I need to do to make/receive video calls using iChat to someone who uses Microsoft Live Call (using Windows Live Messenger to register me as a contact)?
When I initially set up iChat, I selected AIM (AOL Instant Messenging) as my default messenger program. But I can't remember where I set that up. Where in iChat can I make that change from AIM to Windows Live Messenger?

If its anything like MSN you cant video chat with ichat.
The only way on MSN is.

Since i made the upgrade to mountain lion i¡m unable to make facebook video calls , i can,t see other's people webcam

since i made the upgrade to mountain lion i¡m unable to make facebook video calls , i can,t see other's people webcam

I am having this same issue on my Macbook Pro Early 2011 running Mountain Lion. I try and use Facebook video chatting as I usually would, and although the other person can see me, what I see on my end is a still picture from their webcam that is often flickering between what my own webcam is picking up, and it continuously flickers with static lines (picture an old TV getting bad signal).
Skype is also behaving strangely since I upgraded, although it's flip-flopped (Skype is not letting others see me but I can see them)
With both Skype and Facebook, audio is having no issues.

Skype Premium after Free Group Video Calls

The short version of it: Either
Good Decision, now refund your loyal paying customers; or
Poor Decision, it should remain a pay-only product.
Which one is it going to be?
The long version of it:
Okay, Skype, I think there will be a flood of people coming in here and also people flooding the e-mails and live chats of the support team. So since it looks like nobody is going to put it up for talks, I guess I'm going to do it - what's going to happen to us who paid for a month... a few months... or even, like myself, a year of Skype Premium? Are we getting pro-rated refunds?
I know there will be someone from the Skype team that will redirect everyone to the "Refunds are eligible for those who haven't used the service yet" support article, but what about those who already paid and are now publicly notified that the core feature of Skype Premium, Group Video Calling, is now free? I've shelled out on almost $500 of Skype Premium gifts to my friends (over $100 of it to myself), each for a year of Skype Premium. What does that mean for us? What does that mean for you if you did something similar... or just had a year of service for one?
Be advised, folks, I see nothing that says that when Skype Premium is discontinued, no refunds will be offered. This means the Skype team can do as they will. If they do the wrong thing, however, then maybe their competitor (and I'm talking about the big, blue G) might have more worth in the end.
Don't disappoint your customers, Skype.
Are you affected by this change? How muc hdid you pay for Skype Premium and what's your length of subscription? Is it still going to be active the next month and probably the month after? Let's all let the Skype team know what's going on and how we feel about it.

Summary: Skype eventually refunded my money into my bank account, after an ordeal though!
Initially, Skype had given me pro-rated Skype credit on 9-May from 1-May to the year on. But I don't use Skype credit at all, so there wasn't much I could have done with it. The only reason I had premium was to make group video calls.
I contacted Skype and the Customer Service Executive (CSE) told me that since it has been more than 14 days from the transaction date, a refund could not be made. I had to explain that that credit was useless to me, I had not received a notification of such a transfer and if I should onsider my £20 donated to Skype. I was told that, "... because you are a loyal customer, we'll refund the money into your bank account and it will reach you within 3 - 5 business days"
I left a really nice feedback for that CSE, since I was satisfied. But, then I received an email saying that as the amount of $20 (note the currency mixup), had already been added to my Skype credit, there was no monetory refund needed. My head blew up!! This was not only deceiving but also a company backing out on its word.
Following that, I contacted Skype again. Re-iterated the entire scenario and mentioned how the first CSE had lied to me. After almost 30 mins of debating, I got the same "loyal customer" dialog and a confirmation of refund (again). But this time I was skeptic and the feedback wasn't equally good.
After 3 days I got the money in my account.

TS3367 I already try these steps but I still got the problem I can't make a video call at all or receive .

I already try these steps but I still got the problem I can't make a video call at all or receive .

Here som other steps you can try;
Make sure that you have an internet connection
Make sure that you have a valid Apple ID (check here: myinfo.apple.com). Note that your Apple ID to register FaceTime on iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac must be an email address. You can create a new Apple ID or make changes by visiting myinfo.apple.com and using the “Manage your Account” part.
Tap Settings > FaceTime to see that your email address is verified. If your status is saying “verifying,”; then try toggling FaceTime off and on (Settings > FaceTime OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
Try turning FaceTime off and on again using the following (iOS: Settings > Phone OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
Make sure that FaceTime is enabled (Settings > FaceTime.)
Make sure that the camera for FaceTime is not restricted (Settings > General > Restrictions.)
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time to check date and time are set correctly.
Make sure that you are using the correct method for calling the person. iPhone user: Use the phone number; iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac user: Use the email address

When I try to make a video call using FaceTime it get a message saying "FaceTime failed

Hello,
I suggest you go back and see your wireless service provider...with a new device, you should not be having such problems and they need to resolve it.
Good luck!

Make a video call to normal phone, not apple device.

Can I make a call to a normal Phone that is not a smart phone ?
I need to make a call to my mom.
She has a normal phone. When I was using Samsun Galaxy S3, I could make a video call to her.
But, I don't know how to make a video call on iPhone 5.
Can you tell me that?

Facetious me won't do it. Both devices need to be apple. There must be an app that does it.

Why i can't make a video call in Facebook

why cant i make a video call on facebook?

Apparently TenFourFox 5.0 supports video chat on Facebook on PowerPC Macs. I found a post from someone who no longer contributes to Macrumors, a speculation page. But there is this Facebook page if that's what you have, where you might be able to find more info: http://www.facebook.com/macpowerpc
