I am trying to make a video call from my N95 and keep getting a message which says "number not in use". My wife is on 3 and I am on Vodafone. I tried to video call my number from my wife's phone and she gets the same message too!
Rang Vodafone and 3 - all they do is send a text with updated data settings but it still doesn't work 
Can anyone suggest a remedy (apart from saying Nokia sucks!  )

What phone is your wife's? and why exactly is this Nokia's fault as it seems more likely to be a Network related problem and if you really think Nokia suck why did you buy a N95 then.

First thing you need to find out is that you do have 3G coverage in your area for both of the networks.
Even thou it may say 3 on your handset, even when it swaps over to use Orange 2g service It will still say 3 on the handset.
It needs to say 3g underneath the network bar.
What handset has your wife got? If its a SE. You will needs to see a blue square next to the network bar. The blue and white square indicates you have 3g coverage.
Hope this helps

Marc - my comment on "Nokia sucks" was meant for forum posters to give me some constructive help rather than flaming Nokia phones. You read the post wrong - I was not "dissing" Nokia.
Batsie - Yes we are in full 3g area's as we both have full bars of 3g - both phones are Nokia N95's.
I have tried absolutely everything but can't make that Video call no matter where I am in the UK - 3g area or not.

Can you video call a 3 phone from vodafone? Three calling Vodafone worked today. |

It's a problem with cross network video calling. I cannot video call my friend's t-mobile 3g phone, but another friend with a different number prefix on t-mobile i can video call. It's dependent upon the prefix of the number. Call vodafone and get them to get it fixed, they don't seem to listen to me! |

By number prefix do you mean it depends on whether a number begins with 07984 or +447984?

From past experience, problems with cross net video calls usually occur if either person has portrd there number from another provider! The message your receiving is a network connection failure message-not faulty handset message-would collect examples and contact your respective providers.
