On August 22, 2024, Viettel Telecommunications Corporation - Viettel Telecom officially announced the launch of meCall service - the first video standby service in Vietnam in the 5G ecosystem provided by Viettel . This can be considered a breakthrough in the field of telecommunications, making the moments of waiting for calls more interesting and vivid than ever.
meCall is a service that allows customers to set up videos to play instead of the default call tone, or regular ringback tones, so that callers can watch while waiting for the listener to pick up the phone. With meCall, each call will become a unique and interesting visual experience, helping you express your personal style in each call.
Viettel Telecom representative said that during the initial launch period, meCall was offered a completely free trial for a small set of customers and will soon be rolled out across the network.
Eligible customers (owning a smartphone that supports VoLTE, 4G/5G SIM) will be invited to try meCall with a default video waiting time. To change the waiting video according to preferences, customers visit the website https://mecall.vn or the meCall application to select and follow the instructions. In addition to installing for themselves, customers can also gift waiting videos to relatives and friends through the gifting feature on the app.
It is known that meCall currently supports many phone models, including: Samsung A225F, Samsung A325F, Samsung A536E, Samsung A736B and is expected to have 10 more phone models by the end of September: Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Tab S9/ S9 Plus / S9 Ultra, Galaxy Flip 3, Galaxy Fold 3, Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24/ S24 Plus, Galaxy Flip 5, Galaxy Fold 5, Galaxy S23/ S23 Plus/ S23 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S9 FE/ S9 FE Plus can be used meCall.

Before announcing the trial provision of meCall video waiting service, on August 19, Viettel Telecom said it had pioneered research and successfully deployed the first independent 5G network in Vietnam (5G Standalone (SA). Unlike 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) which is developed on 4G network infrastructure, 5G SA is a more advanced and completely independent version that enhances flexibility, scalability and multi-service provision Customers will experience new 5G-based services such as meCall better on 5G waves as well as the 5G SA network that Viettel has just successfully developed.
