Why are there no 3G modems with video call support???

It seems like an obvious feature of a 3G modem, yet I can't find any support for video calls on 3G modems. It should be as easy as AT DV to initiate a video call but it isn't. No wonder 3G is not being utilized, some of the obvious use cases seem to have been ignored.

Or maybe I'm just not Googling properly....

How to send a voicemail / voice mms with one simple call on MTN..

Prerequisite: In order to send the voice MMS, the person you're sending the message to must be registered for the not so well known or advertised imail.

Next, dial the following number appending the last 9 digits of your friends number: 08314
For example, if your friends number is 0831234567 then dial 08314831234567

Leave a message and he/she should get either a voice MMS (if registered on imail) or a voicemail notification.
