Any test number for 3G Video Calls?

I'd like to test my video call facility, but don't know anyone else with a 3G phone yet. Is there some sort of test number that I can try it on, like Skype has the 'Skype Test Call Service' when you add username echo123 to your contacts?

just call to your operator help line in 3g mode, works with me in vodafone PT.

They all have videophones?

cdma call routing - cloned phones

Hi,
Could someone provide me pointers with how actually a incoming call is routed on the cdma network.
What I want to figure out is issue with cloned phones.
Now when I have my cloned phones connected to the same tower, they both ring when an incoming call comes in?
But when they are connected to different towers only one rings, what determines which one does?
Is it possible to have only one of them ring i.e. the other ignores any incoming calls?
Maybe have the secondary phone not show itself on the network, unless it needs to make a call (voice or data)?
What about call waiting? When another incoming calls comes in when one is in session, would prefrentially go the the phone which is active or could it go to either?
Has anyone any experience of extensive testing of having two (or more) phones on a network?

Strange Network Problem HD2

I bought unlocked, sim free HD2 inserted the sim of my usual Mobilink network the phone wizards automatically configured the setttings but to my strange I cannot dial or receive phone calls, I am receiving and sending sms perfectly the phone GPRS working alright tried different methods of changing band but nothing is working to dial or receive voice call. In order to check if there is problem itself with the phone I tried different network (Ufone) sim and the phone is working perfectly without any problem so I am stuck that I cannot use my network which I normally use and I dont want to switch network, if somebody can help to fix this problem.

Incoming Phone during data connection

With my older phone, if I have a GPRS data connection, incoming voice calls will be rejected (busy). I was told it is the same with all phones.
Can HD2 make or accept a voice phone call when it has a GRPS connection? Or an HSPA connect? With the My Location, Weather, and Direct Push, I can neve tell when my phone has a data connection. Does it mean I may be missing calls all the time?

I have no problems with my telco. They will "downgrade" my data connection whenever a call is coming thru.

Nope - works fine for me. Will be using MSN and then a phone call will over ride it

what phone would do that? You wouldn't happen to be with Verizon before, would you? My gf has a blackberry on verizon and whenever she's using the net incoming call would be rejected. I don't know any gsm phone would do that. I've had 5-6 GSM phones and they would allow incoming call and suspend your current web until the call ended.

Well, voice calls are made on a certain frequencies and data connections are made on others.
Ex: in my country the data connection is on the 1900/2100 freq, while the voice calls are on the rest.
So it should never be a problem. I believe its also the ability of the phone to use different freq for different tasks.

Thanks. I can now use the data connections without worry

Why not you try yourself. COnnect to data constantly and make a call to your number. What will happen...?

3G and GPRS/Edge won't block calls. But you can still use old fashion data-call. While I doubt any provider would provide data connectivity this way, I can't rule it out.

Work-Around Solutions to the T-Mobile Voice or 3g Data Problem

The T-mobile tab will allow you to use voice +EDGE or 3g/H data (US version, some report complete functionality in China and Isreal). The current work-around is the Roto Modem Switcher solution (brilliant!)
If you stay on the 3g/H modem, some have suggested google voice, voip, etc.
What can you do if using a voip service so someone receiving a call can see your cell number? What are your solutions so you don't have to reflash your tab, or switch sim cards between phone and tab?

I tried the skype app from the market, but no-go. Skype uses wifi in the US.
Fring works, but your caller won't see your number. They see 111 as your caller id, so they can't call back.
Google voice shows your google number not your cell number.
ooVoo wasn't any better.
What add on service will show your cell number, and allow people to return the call? And do this on 3g/h?

here's the file

Thank you. I will get after this and let you know how it works. I found something else in the market called Vopium. It works pretty good.

Something good to know..but this option is to get a new mobile number so not sure if you want to do so
