Can't Make FaceTime Calls But Can Receive Them? SOS!!! HELP

Hello,
Just had my iPad for a week now and for some strange reason i am unable to make FaceTime calls but i can receive them.
I connect through my Wi-Fi everything else seems to work great.
Also when i click on the FaceTime app and i try to make a call, i get prompt with "Mobile Data Account" which asks me to set up a data plan.
Doesn't Facetime work over Wi-Fi?
Do i have to sign up for mobile data plan just to make FaceTime calls?
iPad Info: The new iPad with Wi-Fi+Cellular
Any solution to fix this problem would be helpful

FaceTime only works using wifi.

Can't make any FaceTime calls, but can receive calls

Any advice on how to enable outgoing Facetime calls on an iPad 2.
I have set Facetime up with my Apple User ID and several people have been able to make Facetime calls to me and they work perfectly. However, if I try to initiate a Facetime call to any user, I always get the message that they are unavailable for Facetime. I have checked with each of them that I have the correct emails in my contacts that is associated with their Apple IDs and with their Facetime, but still I can't make any calls to them.
I have not found anything in the Apple support pages that is effective. I have also completely wiped the iPad back to the just out of the bax stage and set it up from scratch as a new iPad, but that didn't help at all. I have also reset all settings, tried changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8, but nothing seems to make any difference. It will not make any outgoing calls with facetime, but is happy to receive them.
Am I missing something obvious ?
It is an iPad 2 (wifi and 3G model), but doesn't have a 3G SIM installed yet. I understand Facetime doesn't use 3G, only wifi.

You might be right about the email thingy.
I have managed to overcome the problem somewhat by getting the contacts I couldn't call to Facetime me on my MacBook Pro. This leaves their contact details on the Recents list in the Facetime window. I was able to click on these contact details to make a reply call. I then added them to the Favourites list (click the > symbol next to the recent contact and click the Add to Favourites button). The email address appears the same as before, but the one in the Favourites list works.

Can't make calls but can receive them

i've had this problem now for a month,where when i try to make a phone call,it dials the number but then says the number you have dialed can not be recognised,i try it with and without the dialing code,even mobile numbers say the same,i thought at first it was my phone,so i bought a new phone and it's still the same message when i dial,i have done a line check and they say the line's ok,
has anyone else come across this problem before? thank you karen

Silly question is your account is up to date just thought you may have restricted service because of an unpaid or late bill

Can't initiate a facetime call on 4s, but can receive them. Anybody else have this problem? And what's wrong?

I can't initiate a Facetime call, but can receive them on my iphone 4s. What's my problem?

Settings>FaceTime...is it on? If so, try turning it off, wait ~30 seconds or so, then turn it back on.

On my iPod touch, I can receive FaceTime calls but can't initiate them. Thoughts?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

According to your profile you have IOS 2.x? Strange!
iPhone 4 came with IOS 4 in June 2010 not IOS 2.x
Call your carrier and ask them why.

I just got the iPhone 5. It's completely synced and working. All my contacts are loaded. However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text. Can anyone help me out with this?

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I,am unable to sent photos in messages but can receive them. Help

The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others. Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM. The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless. Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.

Why cant i send emails but can receive them fine? im running snow leopard 10.6.8??

im running Software 10.6.8 and recently i cant send emails but can receive them fine? bit annoying as need to send important things or reply to emails but cant via IMail ??

ginavee, as I stated in my earlier post, we've no idea what settings you need to enter in your Mail account preferences. You'll have to go to your service provider's web site and see if they provide it in a support section there. For example, if you use Comcast as your service provider, the Comcast web site will have information on how to set up Apple's Mail program. You'll need, of course, your email account name and password.
You may be able to determine your Mail settings by looking at your iPad's Mail settings if you're able to send and receive email from that device.

I received an email telling me that my icloud storage is almost full. I need to upgrade to the next level. Can someone help me out with this?

I received telling me that my icloud storage is almost full. I need to upgrade my storage. Can someone help me out with this. I understand that the 20 GB is only .99 per month. Just hoping this would be enough for me. I back up 2 ipads and my iphone on the same computer. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thank you.

Okay.
I responded as I did because you wrote, "I have 2 ipads and my iphone that I back up on one computer"
No worries here.
But hopefully you get/got it sorted.
Any issues, post back.
