Cingular to Offer Wireless Video Share Calls


 LG CU500Cingular Wireless, part of the new AT&T, will soon offer a service that allows wireless phone users to easily make a “live” video share call. The service allows users to send a live, one-way video to a recipient during a standard voice call. Beginning with a normal phone call, customers can hit one button to add a one way video stream, allowing them to share their world with friends and family. The service also allows customers to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call.

For example, a couple in Dallas would place a regular voice call to their parents in Miami, and once the call is connected, hit the camera button on the phone to start the video session. The parents receive an invitation asking if they want to view the live video stream, and once accepted, they begin seeing the video shot by the kids in Dallas. The speakerphone turns on and the proud new grandparents in Miami can see a live video of their granddaughter taking her first steps or saying her first words.

The grandparents also have the option of ending that video session, and while still connected, initiate a session so that their new granddaughter and her parents can see them.

Cingular expects to make the video service available in 2007. www.cingular.com
