Samsung s3 video call

Hi, I just got a new samsung s3.

I can't find any information on charges to use the video call.

Would I be right in thinking .....it would eat up my data, but would be free to use if I connect to my home wi fi?

Any help much appreciated

    Video calling uses data, have a look at your tariff for call rates (O2 will charge me 6p per min if I use it).
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    To use WiFi you need something like Skype, I think a video call in the sense that you mean will use data regardless of WiFi access or not.

    I have to say though that I've never tried it, I have no need to see the people I'm talking to, so am not positive that my understanding is correct.

    EE charge me for video calls - IIRC at about 35p per minute. I only know because I pressed video call in error once and got charged for a call lasting seconds!

    Skype or similar may suit you better if you have a data package

    edit - T mobile 15.3ppm to other t-mobiles. 51.1p all others!
