Kidding aside, I assume you means Skype over 3G? That's odd because here, "3G video calls" cost an arm and a leg (which is why I think nobody ever used them), whereas flat-rate data packages are cheap, hence, for ME, even on 3G, skype video is free too.

MasterZap: we don't have wlan everywhere. Unless I'm at home or somewhere with wlan service on. If you are out of wlan coverage, then data service charges will need to kick in. And unlike your location, ours is currently rather expensive ~USD20 for 500Mb. On the other hand, our network service providers have 3G video call as same charge as a standard call. That's why I said I don't have other friends on Skype video call all the time. But almost everyone who has a phone will have 3G video call auto-enabled.
