Calling internationally with Facetime on an iPhone

I just got an iPhone 4S on Saturday, so forgive me if this is a n00b question.  How much would it cost, if anything, to make an international call with Facetime?  I live in the US and a friend of mine lives in the UK.  We both have iPhones and we can text with iMessage, but I wasn't sure if it'd also be free to use Facetime to do it as well.

All FaceTime calls are done over WiFi, thus they are free(unless you're paying for the WiFi connection).

  • Issue when calling with Facetime video from iphone 6 to iphone 4

    Hello,
    I am trying to call with facetime video from my iphone 6 (ios 8.0.2) to an iphone 4 (ios 7.1.2) but it doesn't work. It works when I use facetime audio but not the video. I have tried to use my ipad 2 (ios 8.0.2) instead of the iphone 6 and I am experiencing the same problem. Can you please help me out here?
    Thnaks!

    The iPhone 4 would have to be on wifi for the video to come through, I think. Is the person with the iPhone 4 on wifi?
    Can that person receive calls from anyone else using Facetime?

  • Anyone having issues with facetime fail on iphone 4 or macbook pro?

    Is anyone having issues with facetime fail on macbook pro or iphone4?

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page.

  • How do I change the e-mail address associated with Facetime on my iPhone?

    On my iPhone, under Settings -> Facetime, if I switch this to "on", I am immediately prompted to provide a password assocaited to an old e-mail address. How do I change this e-mail address?
    My app store account is correct, and I don't think this old e-mail is lurking anywhere else on my phone.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, but I did not see this space to enter a new e-mail as Facetime was set to "off" and every time I turned it on it wanted me to provide a passowrd for my old, non-existent AppleID.
    I just noticed, however, that if you just let it fail to log in with the old e-mail three times, THEN it give you a chance to provide a new e-mail via a new prompt "SIgn in with your Apple ID?", which worked.
    So lesson learned: let if fail first, then you can fix it,but not before it fails. :-/

  • Problem to call international with Siri

    Dear,
    I tried to call a friend with Siri and Siri says that it cannot call the number.The number starts with "+ country code and phone number". When I do that normally (with the phone keyboard) it works. Do you have the solution?
    Thank you

    I have the exact same problem with some international calls, but only in one country...

  • Using a US iPad in Kuwait to talk with facetime

    I have an iPad I bought before deploying in the US and I can not connect with facetime.  My iPhone (VZN) works fine for this but the iPad does not.  Any idea why?

    Facetime is blocked in the UAE, so that is likely why your iPad won't work there with Facetime.......ANd it doesn't matter where you purchased it.  It's blocked there.

  • HT4245 i use a macbook pro which came with facetime i have an iphone 4S as well. whenever i use the wireless on my iphone i can facetime with ease however when i use the same wireless for my mac to facetime the call always gets disconnected.

    To use factime on your Mac, I believe you will need to use your email address to do so instead of your wireless number.  Since you can't make calls on the Mac.

  • I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update.  Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

    I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update.  Is there any feature or setting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to a FaceTime account without going to the carrier?

    After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
    I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
    I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
    I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

    First question where ae you located?  If you're in the Middle East or UAE, factime has been restricted by the government.
    If your not from there look here:

  • TS3367 Nowhere on my iPhone 4 can I activate FaceTime... I've tried using contacts, settings, and even when I call someone with an active FaceTime, the FaceTime icon is not lit up. Any suggestions?

    There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone.  Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON.  Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there.  Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

  • TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

    i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?

  • My iphone 4s turns off and restarts after a few seconds or minutes to establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    My iphone 4s turns off and restarts itself a few seconds or minutes after when I establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" from iTunes but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Also, if this only happens with one Wi-Fi network, power cycle that Wi-Fi router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order.

  • Traveling Internationally with the original iPhone

    I have friend who is about to embark on a international trip to Vietnam. She is bringing her iPhone with her, but does NOT want to have to pay the expensive roaming charges while there. So we're looking for a way to turn off the cell phone part so it won't/can't connect to whatever wireless network may be there, but still use it with Wi-Fi for the iPhone apps and for getting email where Wi-Fi is available.
    I'm guessing that turning OFF Enable Edge and turning OFF Data Roaming should do the trick, but want to be sure before I give her bad information.
    Any ideas?

    There is no option to turn off EDGE or GPRS access with the first generation iPhone. There is an option to turn off 3G network access with the iPhone 3G which doesn't turn off EDGE or GPRS access with the iPhone. Data Roaming is off by default with the iPhone.
    If she is running firmware version 2.0 or later on her iPhone, she can enable Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access. This will disable the cell and data access via the cellular network so no calls can be placed or received and the same for SMS, this disables data access via a cellular network, and disables bluetooth access. Wi-Fi access will be available turning her iPhone into an iPod Touch.

  • Why is it that when I call my MIL with FaceTime I end up calling another person?

    When I call my mother in law with FaceTime, I end up calling a total stranger. I use her number from my contacts and it is the right number, it works just fine if I make a regular phone call. Today, I called her and talked to her for some time and after a while we decided to switch to FaceTime. While on the phone with her, I pushed the FaceTime button on my screen, the call ended, FaceTime started and instead of my MIL it was a complete stranger that answered the call. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!
