Author 3 Video Calling

I read on O2 Online that 3G video calls are included within the voice
minutes and are charged identically (i.e if you get 100 free minutes you can
use them all on video)

I looked at the THREE website and you cannot do that but instead you are
charged 20p a minute for video calls

Bit of a rip off aint it?

i'm sure i saw it on o2's website a while back that this is a time
limited offer but i could be wrong.

Also, o2 3g coverage isn't exactly great...

even if they show it to you when taking out a new contract and with no time
limit shown at that point?

are all O2 Online contracts worable with 3G then i assume as long as you
have a 3G phone?

depends what way you look at it, but i think including the video calling in
the free allowance is a better idea.
