O2’s iPhone website details iPhone video calls

16 years ago

“O2 has made a small tweak to its iPhone tariffs over the weekend, updating them to include a cost for ‘video calls’ – which happens to be the same as for voice calls. The update lends weight to rumours that the next iPhone will come with a front camera and video calling capabilities,” Duncan Geere reports for Pocket-lint.

“It also tells us a few more things, too – it suggests that O2’s rather more confident about its data network, if it expects to provide enough bandwidth for its iPhone users to start video conferencing,” Geere reports. “It also poses a question – can Apple resurrect what was once a key feature for smartphones? A few years back, every handset came with a front-facing camera, but video calling never took off.”

“Update: O2 has got in touch with us, and said: ‘The iPhone section of our website states video calling is charged at the same price as voice calls. We can confirm that this was listed in error. We will be amending our website shortly to clarify this and would like to apologise for any confusion caused,'” Geere reports. “That’s interesting – the only denial in there is that video calling will be as cheap as voice calling. We thought it sounded a little generous. There’s no denial there that an iPhone 4, if it exists, will have voice calling.”
