In an age where we talk of no less than 3G as we all love new technology and if you are the one whose operator has already rolled out the 3G Service then irrespective of you use it or not you tend to use the Network mode as Dual Mode (GSM/WCDMA), at this time what happens is that if there is 3G network available then it will search for the same, so to avoid this you can select the GSM Mode and then later you can choose WCDMA mode if you want to make any video calls.
