If you have trouble making video calls:
❑ Make sure the number you dialed is correct, then try the call again. For
example, you may need to dial 9 for an outside line or include a long distance
access code or country code.
❑ To find out if the problem exists in your system, ask the person you were trying
to reach to call you instead.
❑ Find out if the system you are calling has its power turned on and is
functioning properly.
❑ If you can make calls but not receive them, make sure that your system is
configured with the correct number.
