FaceTime alternative for ANDROID ?

[Araltd]

So, I'm coming from an iPhone 4 with FaceTime.. What is the widely accepted alternative for Android? On my Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-mobile

I've tried a few, and they were all terrible. And that was over WIFI... I couldn't even imagine over mobile data.

Skype video calls works well for me on my GS3.

Google Hangouts work pretty well over data and wifi

Skype or Tango.

unlike Facetime, they both work on 3G/LTE/Wifi and they are available on all Operating systems, from Android to PC/OSX.

I guess I should have mentioned, I need it to be compatible with iPhone's (an app ios can install I mean)

I've never heard of or seen Google hangout, I'll check that one.
QIK I completely forgot about - That used to be pretty good.
Skype I know is like the standard, and I think is pc->mobile device capable too??

THANKS - KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING PLEASE

plain old Google talk. There is no iPhone app from Google but it works well from www.Google.com/talk

I used gtalk on my sgs3 this weekend.with my wife using the aforementioned website on her iPhone just fine. It did not work as well when she used the vtalk ios app.

You're correct. I use Skype all the time on my phone to my girlfriend who uses her laptop.

Seconded. Google Talk is great. I was using it earlier today for video chat.

Tango

My wife and I have been using Tango with her iPhone and my Razr Maxx (S3 on Wed). Works great, it is as seamless and easy to use as FaceTime, which is important with my wife being as useless technically as she is.

Tango?

I'm shocked to see so many people suggest Tango. I know its easy, and seamless integration and all, but the quality of the video and audio is SOOO BAD. At least the couple times we tried it.

I'm not touching that with a 10 ft pole... LMAO

And if she should ever read that I would say that someone stole access to my account and posted lies. Lol.

Re: quality, its not much different than Facetime. The video and audio are fine to me. No its not HD, but it is clear and works well.

I'll have to try it again, maybe I missed a quality setting or something.. it was just terrible last time. And to be clear, I don't think FaceTime is that great either, but its exactly as you said.. its clear, the audio is plenty audible, there is little to no lag or delay. It does what its suppose to do.

My experience with Tango was very opposite.

GTalk works great for me. Anyone with Gmail is easy to communicate with.

skype seems to work the best but tango and qik were some of the first I used.

I really like tango. It has always worked well for me and you can use it on an iPhone as well.

I totally forgot that Google Talk has it built in... plus I'm sure it works as well (video qualitywise) as doing a hangout on Google+
