Video calls on the S II Skyrocket?

[jsarino]

Has anyone tried to do video calls on the Skyrocket? I wouldn't mind using this feature especially when traveling. If you have tried it with this phone (or another), what app did you use, and how was the experience? Thanks in advance!

I have used the SR while traveling to video call with my kids. We used the app Tango. It works cross platform for Android and iOS. It works either wifi or of course LTE. It was very clear and great quality on LTE.

Thanks for the tip! I downloaded it into both our phones and will try it out.

Yeah Tango is my preferred.

My wife and I used Google Talk to video chat between her SR and my Motorola Xoom - it worked fine.

dwboston--hadn't considered using Google Talk for that, could look into it.

My only wish with Tango is that it would also do free SMS. I use Viber for international calling and texting now, but it lacks video calling.

Hello, just picked up a Skyrocket this passed weekend. I used Qik to make a video call to my wife's iPhone 4S. Downside is the 'Lite' app requires WiFi.
