Phones are meant for calling. But downloading Skype from the Google Play Store will allow the user to make free video calls to anyone located anywhere in the world. All you need is a Skype account.  This app is available across all operating systems.

The app allows the user to make low cost calls and send SMS to mobile anywhere from your Android smartphone.  It also allows the user to send pictures, videos and files to anyone on your contact list. If your phone is equipped with a rear as well as a front end camera it allows the user to talk face to face with family of friends.

Due to some restrictions in the operating system, Android 2.2 will only be able to use the rear camera while Skyping and devices that operate on Android 2.3 and above will be able to make use of both front and rear-facing cameras.
