Interactive 3G applications are just a phone call away ...

The video call feature built in to all 3G handsets is not just for person-to-person calls. You can also dial up interactive applications. Simply make a video call to the number and the content is there on your screen. Store the number in your address book and it's even easier.

There are well over five million 3G handsets in Australia, and that number is growing. They will all handle interactive video calls. No handset or carrier incompatibilities, guaranteed. Vivatel provides a platform that lets you tap in to this lucrative market.

Below are some featured applications. However, developing one of your own is not difficult, and when linked to a 1900 premium number it generates an immediate revenue stream. Full details of the development tools can be found here.
