Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to make a call

Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to place a call

Depends on what the receiver has set up on his or her device.
Also depends on the device. iPhone uses the number, iPad, iPod touch uses Email. But can be set up for phone number too if the person has an iPhone.
Hope this helps.

  • HT1688 How do I change my FaceTime from my email address to my phone number

    I need help with changing my face time email to my phone number on my iPhone 4gs

    If you are wishing to change your @me address, this cannot be done, however if you wish to change another address;
    You need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.

  • Does FaceTime send an automatic text message to the email address of the user trying to call me?

    I called my friend's cell phone, via FaceTime, on my macbook using my email address.
    The call said she was unavailable, and immediately after, I received a text message to my email address from her cell phone number saying "can't talk right now, what's up". I thought it was strange since she never texts my email from her phone, and I had never received a message like that from FaceTime before.
    She said she never sent the email. Is it possible FaceTime does it automatically, and why all of a sudden now? Or, was her cell hacked, or it was just her?

    Hi nquan1989,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post where you received a message indicating the person you were contacting was busy, indicates they elected to send a message and decline the call, thus sending the message to your email.
    Can’t take a call right now?  When a FaceTime call comes in, you can answer, decline, or choose another option.
    Make and answer calls
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID.  I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match.  Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions?  If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • Can you use multiple email addresses on the owa app?

    Can you use multiple email addresses on the Microsoft OWA App?

    You can do it but there is a delay from the bluetooth speaker.  You'll need an iphone or ipad using the Apple app "Control", airplay setup, bluetooth speaker, and an Apple laptop or desktop. 
    I used my laptop to connect to my bluetooth speaker so that sound streams to my bluetooth device. Then, on my iphone I opened Control and connect the music to my airplay and my laptop at the same time.  The music goes to your airplay speaker, and then to my laptop which then blue tooths it to my speaker.  But, as I said the bluetooth takes an extra step to stream it and so the music is not in sync.  Its like a second and a half delay....

  • Is there a way to find the email address of the user's from SCCM database.

    Hi All,
    I am using SCCM 2012 R2 and trying to find a query/report that can help in finding the email address of the user the machine is assigned to (Primary device). And if that is a machine which is being shared between different user, I need to gather the same
    information or the user who last logged on that machine.
    Can you please help?
    Thanks
    Manish

    My opinion: I think you'll need to define what, to you, means "primary user".  a primary user relationship can be defined manually by you one by one in the console, automatically by usage, imported via script, or the end user (if they know
    how and you've allowed this in settings) can indicate a machine is a primary machine for themselves.
    How is primary user relationship set, in your environment?  Depending upon how that relationship is determined in your environment, then you can track for that particular machine how or why the relationship you expect to be there, isn't the relationship
    the database acknowledges.
    Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

  • Hi, I forgot my email and password and my iphone need to activate i dont know what to do and i cant remember the email address or the password please help me I dont wanna lose my phone :(

    hi, I forgot my email and password and my iPhone need to activate i don't know what to do and i cant remember the email address or the password please help me I don't wanna lose my phone.

    IF you forget your email and password and you are stuck in the activation process, it usually gives you a clue on what is your email like w********[email protected] If you really own the phone, you already have a clue on what is that email add. Then go to appleid.apple.com, click on manage my device, enter what you think is your email addy (no harm in trying that it wont lock) then click on i forget password. This will give you an option to either sent the password to an alternate email. If you have several, then sad to say you have to open it one by one and check including your spam mails. Another option is to answer some security questions you made while creating an apple id. Your last option is to call apple support. If you know the email add and you can prove ownership, they can reset the password for you

  • HT2486 How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight?  This contact always appears as the email address for the group I want to send to.

    How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight?  This contact always appears as the email address for the address book group I want to send to.

    The group is "undisclosed" there are 6 contacts in the group. The contacts are listed in 2nd column entitled "name", one of these contacts remains highlighted or selected in grey. I can't remove the grey selection of the contact.   When you select the "undisclosed" group as the "to" address the contact highlighted in grey appears in the email address box.  The group name should appear in the email box, but it doesn't.  This began to happen after I upgraded to IOS 10.6.8.  However I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problem?  I do not have "show all member addresses selected."  Your help is appreciated.

  • Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

    I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

  • TS4268 My friend just got iPhone 5.  His texts now show up as his email address not his phone number.  Whats wrong?

    My Friend just got iPhone 5.  His texts to me now show up as an email address not his phone number.  Whats wrong?  when I text to him via his # they sent as a text not iMessage. Help I dont like to have two contacts.

    It has to do with his settings in iMessage. His iMessage has to be activated and it has to show his phone # as the "start conversation from".

  • I am unable to access songs that were bought using old email addresses.  The addresses no longer exist.   How can I fix this?

    I cannot listen to music that I purchased from I tunes years ago, using various email accounts, and various computers.  I no longer have those email accounts, so I cannot access the password retrieval from them.  I also tried the security questions, and I tunes won't let me access the music that way either.  What do I do?  All the account names I ever used have been with my name and personal information.  Is there someone I can call?

    Why are there multiple accounts? Simply change the email address associated with the account when changing email accounts for whatever reason.
    If you are no longer able to access the account and cannot log in using the Apple ID, contact iTunes Customer Support via Express Lane.

  • How to use FaceTime using an email address

    How can you use multiple email addresses for FaceTime purposes?

    Each device would have a separate email address.  The email address would be registered as THE facetime email address for that device.  Each device must be on Wifi in order to initiate a Facetime session.  It does now work via cellular (3G/4G).
