Do facetime calls from a Macbook cost money? from my iPhone4 I do not pay
Do Facetime calls from a Macbook cost?
No cost for the call - it's using your internet bandwidth (similar to skype).
So it's able to make free FT calls to other FT users on any FT-enabled device as long as they have the app. It is not able to make FT calls to other devices.

People can't hear me on the other end when I make facetime calls from my Imac
People can't hear me on the other end when I make facetime calls from my IMAC
I had the same problem on my brand new iMac and Apple Care solved it for me. Very simple.
1. Restart your computer
2. As soon as you hear the chime, press the SHIFT button until you see the Apple logo, then release it. This will put your computer into safe mode. When your computer boots up to the home screen in safe mode, Facetime will NOT work. That's normal.
3. After your computer finishes booting up to your home screen, restart it normally. That solved the problem for me.
Apple Care said that putting the computer into safe mode results in a diagnostics check that can fix certain problems. I hope this helps someone else. -

I just want to know if the call gets registered on the bill when making a FaceTime call from iphone to iphone using the email.
No, it doesn't get registered as a call as it functions simply as data through Wi-Fi

Facetime call from a contact but connected to another random stanger.
Hi there, I'm using an iPhone 5S. Recently I received a few facetime calls from one of my contact, but it turned out to be the same random stranger from another part of the world! Anyone facing the same 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!

Why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad
why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad
Because you make a FaceTime call from FaceTime on the iPad.
On a Mac, you can start and iChat conversation from the Messages app and maybe that is what you are talking about. iChat can still be used in Mountain Lion in order to have a face to face conversation with other Mac users that are not running ML and therefore do not have FaceTime. -

FaceTime calls from strangers?
I'm getting FaceTime calls from strange numbers with the 239 area code. I just received my iPad a few days ago and it's happened 4 times from 2 numbers. Is anybody else seeing this?
I am not. Sounds cool/creepy. Did you answer them? The reason I ask is because I wonder if they are really facetime calls or are somehow getting mixed up with phone calls (assuming they also happen on an iphone). Since it's your iPad, someone very well may have just called up your email address (since that's what it uses to identify you) to see if you had facetime. (no idea why anyone would do that.)

Before ios8, facetime calls from my kids' ipods showed their names. Now when they call, it shows my name like I'm calling myself. Previously I had an issue where my texts were showing up on my family's ipods and ipads. That has been corrected...I'm wondering if this is similar.

Wifi calls from a phone that is not mine
We have two iPhones at home. Everyone has its own phone number and iCloud account.
I set up "family sharing" when updated to iOs8. Now, when the other one gets a facetime call, I also receive that call even if I don't know who is calling!
Is it a sharing family "feature" or an issue?i Have checked that and we have it differently. Now comes the weird part: my father came home today and he called via facetme to each phone and it worked perfect.
So I thought I might be getting crazy.
Later tonight we were on the subway going to eat dinner and the other phone got a facetime call and both our phones were called at the same time.
So it seems it only happens when she receives facetime calls from a specific number, the others work well!
I called Apple support and they told me to disable handoff in both phones as the final solution. But I want handoff to work. So not only they hsve no clue about what's happening but they are not going to investigate it. By the way, I have Applecare in both phones....
Any idea?
