Setting the Call Rate for Video Calls

You can set the maximum call rate for all video calls. The maximum call rate specifies the maximum
bandwidth a video call can use.
Troubleshooting: Why Can't I Select the Call Rate I Want?
Your system administrator can set a maximum call rate for video calls. If your system
administrator sets a limit, you won't be able to select a call rate above this limit.
To set the maximum call rate to use for video calls:
1 Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Basic > Call Rate.
2 From the Call Rate screen, tap the maximum call rate you want to use for video calls. The default
setting is 512 kbps.

Placing Audio-Only Calls

If your administrator has enabled video on your phone, all calls you place are video calls. This means
that:
• The person you call will see you on their phone.
• If the person you call sends video, you'll see the person on your phone.
Your administrator can enable your phone to send audio calls only. This means that no video
information will be included in the call at all. Your phone screen won't display any video windows, and
you won't have the option to send video. If the person you call sends video, you won't see them.
Your system administrator can also set up your phone so that you can choose the call mode—either
video or audio-only—for the calls you place. If this is set up on your phone, you can choose the call
mode on a call-by-call basis, as well as choose a mode to apply to all the calls you place.
