you just call any mobile phone number and choose "video call" instead of "voice call" - the person you call needn't be on any internet chat service like skype or thelike, let alone be on the same network you're on or be online.
as long as they have their phone switched on and are on a 3G network (which is true for really anyone i know), it "just works". like phone calls "just work" while a skype voice call might not. (at least you'll never reach me on skype.)
Skype on the other hand "just works", and now everybody's got skype, and finally android got videocalls too.

Here in India 3G is new.Everybody is very enthusiastic to make a video call.Almost all N series phones have 3G video calling feature.I used N70,N96 and both have that.But there was no 3G then.Now i dont have them with me lol.It seems many threads are there requesting this feature.I too am ready to pay once the feature is enabled but somebody told me in these threads that the feature is closed source and no dev can do that unless Nokia release the code which is almost impossible.In India voice calling and video calling rates are one and the same,at least as a 3G promo offer.

I guess it's a pretty much standard answer since the maemo isn't such a big platform.
Skype works fine for me.

I have never been into the hole video calling scene, what is the advantages of 3G video calling.
I can get video calling on mine but this is with skype and G.Talk.
I also noticed that skype runs better then G.Talk, so how much better is the 3G then skype?
@qwazix
Before my N900 I had Nokia 6680 (I lived in Sweden at the time and 3G was free in my plan so I used it all the time with my brother, and it worked perfectly) and then I had Sony Ericsson K800i which also had 3G and I could use the front facing camera for video calls, so it does work, if only someone could/would make it happen for N900?

Csaba

Ok, bad carrier, but as you can see there are still non-3G sims, even on new contracts.
