3. The UMTS network and video calls
UMTS
The UMTS network supports faster data transmission and takes speed and service
availability to a new level.
Swisscom Mobile is introducing a variety of new services specifically for the UMTS
network. As well as being able to make and receive video calls, with Vodafone live!
you can also enjoy Live TV and Replay TV (see page 17).

When the UMTS symbol appears next to the signal bars, you’ll be able to take advan-
tage of the faster, richer functions of the UMTS service. Of course, you’ll still be able to
use the existing network at other times.

for more information on where the service is available.
Video calls
When the UMTS symbol appears you can make and receive video calls with your
Nokia 6288. The person you are calling must have a mobile phone that is compatible
with video telephony and be in a UMTS area too.
