The Phonewebcam pricing system is simple. All the PC software is free - you only pay when you want to run the
Viewer on your handset or to restrict who can view your private camera. When you do so, you can choose to pay
annually or just top up whenever you need. If you take a break for a while, we won't remove your account and
make you set up all over again when you want to continue (unless you ask us to!). Just go right ahead and top
up again and you're back where you left off - there are no long contract tie-ins or other such nonsense.
There are more ways we keep your costs to a mimumum:
|
| |
• |
The price! The whole service costs just
£3.99/$7.92/€5.84 for 4 weeks or £39.99/$79.29/€58.49 per year (plus your standard data network charges).
|
|
• |
Runs on most phone models, so you don't need to pay more on a
special handset even if you don't have 3G or a camera phone.
|
|
• |
The Publisher serves snapshot images on demand. Most often, all you need is a
quick look at a scene rather than a more expensive streaming view.
|
|
|
|
• |
Image quality can be controlled from the handset. The quality of
an image is directly related to the amount of data used to show it, which in turn lowers data
transmission charges. You choose the quality with a simple setting on the handset.
|
| |
• |
Image sizes can also be controlled. For users with large screens on
their handsets, it's still perfectly acceptable to show half size images in the centre of the screen. Again,
this means less data is sent so running costs are reduced.
|
|
• |
Images can be set to full colour or greyscale, again reducing
the amount of data needed to show the image, and hence minimise network costs. The neat thing about all
these quality settings is that they are all independent!
|
|
• |
To keep user subscription to a minimum, one advertisement is
served at the beginning of your viewing session. Don't worry - its only one advert for each run of
Phonewebcam, so you could use it for an hour and still only see the one ad.
