Google making video calling easier

If you and the person you’re video calling are on a carrier that supports ViLTE video calling, your video calls will be routed through the carrier’s ViLTE service. If not, Google Duo will connect your video call to anyone with the app installed.

We don't have VoLTE on Telkom, MTN, Cell-C will be a while before we get ViLTE.

Is VoLTE and ViLTE charged the same as VoIP - R25/MB

VoIP warning – you may be charged R25 per MB

Like they made it harder in the first place when they split Chat and Video into two apps Allo and Duo...instead of just evolving the Hangouts app they already had.

Hangouts is a business app now. Pointless evolving it for normal customers and inconveniencing business users who don't want their mobile number tied to it but rather their email address.

Yet it’s still inside every consumer version of Gmail.

And it would be quite simple to open it up for Cellphone or Email address use.

Either would be simpler that releasing TWO Apps...and now technically a third to solve the same problem.

But it’s nice of them to catch up with Apple...

It's the same Gmail customers and businesses use and Gtalk video chat was available since ages ago already.

Which is exactly why I’m saying Hangouts is hardly a “business app now”.

It’s integrated into all their consumer stuff.

Skype they’ve fortunately hardly touched.

Lync / Skype for Business and soon Teams is an abomination.

And another example of something that should just be one app with multi-user logins instead of two different things.

Obviously you're not aware that the general business complaint is quite the opposite: They bought Skype and left it untouched for far too long. We waited in vain for years hoping it'd merge with Lync. All we got was a weak federation. Skype still works better than anything else out there. And it has users.
