A little while ago, an application appeared on the software store to conduct video chats on the iPhone called "Tango", and at a very important time, as this application expands the narrow limits of the FaceTime feature in the iPhone 4, it can make calls on the 3G network as well as Wi-Fi, Also, and it is the most important possibility to make calls between the iPhone 4 and any other device, whether it is an iPhone, Android or mobile phone that owns this application.

The application also has the ability to switch the conversation in video and audio, and you are limited to one of them, which is what Apple's FaceTime does not have so that the call in it does not turn into an audio at all.

Many readers wrote to us about this application (we thank them all) and their experience with it, especially since FaceTime official ban From the iPhone 4 in many Arab countries, after its launch, in which users are looking for a better and easier alternative to give them to FaceTime. So this was the application.

The truth is that we preferred to give ourselves some time to try the Tango application and test it well and make sure whether it, with its features, would be a good alternative to the lost FaceTime ?!

The Tango app is free and you can download it from the software store and it is 5.4MB in size.

After running the program for the first time, it will take a moment and then ask you to register in it by entering simple and fast information, which is the mobile phone number, name and email.

We note that the program does not allow many countries to choose the country key to enter your phone number.

Then, to confirm the subscription, an SMS message will be sent to your mobile phone with a confirmation link, and when you click on it, the application will open and confirm the subscription.

You can then add friends to the list in the application through invitations in two ways, either by email or SMS, as this application links to your address book on the iPhone to send those invitations through.

Note that the address list will remain empty until someone you invited to use Tango who owns it responds to you.

After those who were invited to use Tango respond, his name will appear in the address list in Tango, where you can, by clicking on his name, make the call with him.

Remember that you can make calls with any mobile device that has the Tango app, and the command is not limited to the iPhone as is FaceTime.

The audio and video quality is good even for 3G, as was the experience of many users, but through our experience of this application, we found that the quality in FaceTime is much higher than it. As we mentioned at the beginning, this application enables you to switch between audio and video and limit it to only one of them.

You can adjust the personal settings from your email address, phone number, or name.

You can also view an assistant guide for the program in English in the form of questions and answers. One of the important information in this guide is that the video call in this application via 3G takes about 2 GB of data, about 450 minutes, or about 4.4 MB per minute (which is more expensive than FaceTime!)

To some extent here, the application is a good alternative to FaceTime for those who have to lose it, but it suffers from many problems such as multiple crashes and a lot. And re-download it from the store.

Also, the communication is only made with difficulty and after many attempts to connect with the concerned person, in addition to that the application does not support multitasking and switching between programs.

How was your experience with the "Tango" application, and do you consider it an alternative to the FaceTime program?

Download the program for free from the software store

 

Note: FaceTime is not banned from the Arab world as countries. Rather, it has been closed, starting from the firmware 4.1, on devices purchased from the official agent in the Arab world. If your phone is from Britain, for example, FaceTime will work with you in any Arab or foreign country and on the latest version of firmware, and if your phone is from an agent in the Arab world, it will work with you as long as the firmware is less than 4.1. I hope that this matter has been clarified to everyone now.
