IPhone Face Time upgrade?

I have been anticipating the arrival of iPhone 4 to replace my original aluminum case 4 gig iPhone. As a traditional white case mac guy, I am partial to the white but I am leaning toward the black one for the black edge for watching video and reading.
Aesthetics aside, I am a little disappointed in Face Time only working between 2 iPhone 4 sets. I had truly hoped to use to communicate with my family via iChat on Mac at home especially since it can all be on WiFi.
Does anyone think Apple can or will address this in a software update?

What anyone here "thinks" about this is no more than wild speculation or wishful thinking. None of us knows the technical reasons and restrictions why they designed it this way, so no one here has any idea.
Since the feature was only announced by Apple 12 hours ago, and won't be available for anyone to use for more than 2 weeks, you're getting way, way ahead of yourself complaining. What gave the idea you are entitled to have it the way you want?

  • IPod to iPhone Face Time - thank you for your help : )

    I have tried to use face time with someone who has an iPhone - both on IOS 5. We both have wi-fi and ended up having to switch to Skype instead. Can someone please help? Should we both be using e-mails to connect? I use her phone number to send text messages and they go through.
    Thank you so much for your help!

    For FT. for a iPhone, you call the phone's telephone number.
    For an iPod, you call the email address that is set for the iPod.

  • HT4993 about iphone face time to a other cell phone

    I have a iphone 5 and want to use face time to video talk to someone on there phone that is not a iphone.is there a app they need to get on there phone to use.and what app if there is one. thanks

    You can't do it. FaceTime is proprietary to Apple. You can not use FaceTime to communicate with them. You'll both have to download and use something like Skype, that's cross platform, instead.

  • Face Time uses wrong phone number

    I have two iphone 5Ss on a single apple id account.  my wife's iphone/face time uses her phone number and our primary email address, while my iphone uses a secondary email.  the problem is, my face time settings has a check mark by our secondary email, but no check marks by my wife's phone number and our primary email.  even though my iphone settings for phone/my number is correct, i can't get face time to list my phone number as an option.  Although my wife and i can facet time with each other, i'd very much like to associate the face time account on my iphone with my iphone's actual phone number. any ideas on fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.  thanks.

    Your post is unclear.  What is showing your work number?  Contacts?

  • The face time button on my iphone 4 is no longer there. It was there in the beginning, I think it went missing after I upgraded the software. I am on the latest version 4.3.5 now. Is there any solution for this?

    I am not sure which upgrade version caused this to happen. I have upgraded the phone several times since last year and not really a frequent user of face time. I just noticed when I want to test it with my son's macbook.

    There isn't a separate app icon for Facetime for the iPhone like there is for the iPad and iPod Touch.  Facetime is built into the iPhone's iOS.
    Here a refresher on how it works:

  • Face Time not working in iPhone or iPad since upgradation to vers. iOS 7.1.1

    I am in India and face time is not working since software upgradation to iOS 7.1.1 in my both iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
    Please help to restore this feature.

    It takes two to tango.
    To have FaceTime running all devices should have IOS 7.1.1 or IOS 6.1.6 for older devices.

  • How do I call a Mac computer with Face Time from my iPhone 4?

    I just upgraded my iMac to OS X Lion and I now have Face Time on my desktop computer. I figured out how to MAKE a call from my desktop to someone's iPhone. But, I can't figure out how to call my desktop computer FROM my iPhone 4? I tapped the phone icon. Then, selected my house from my contact list. When I selected my home e-mail address, it just loaded a blank e-mail. There was no option to call that e-mail address with Face Time. Help? Oh, and I'm running iOS 4.2.10 on my Verizon iPhone 4, so I know I have the required version on my phone.
    Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Oh, and by the way, I also just tried calling my iPhone 4 from my iMac with Face Time and my iPhone didn't even ring. Also, I've read through posts in other forums and everyone is talking about a Face Time camera icon that appears next to a contact's name. I don't have that at all. So, maybe I don't actually have the right versions of the software?

  • Help needed: iPhone 4 software upgrade failed many times

    Hello. I've bought an iPhone 4, which its operating system is 4.3, and was prompt by iTunes about this iPhone 4 software upgrade to iOS 4.3.5. I've downloaded the software and waiting for quite some time and after the dowloading has completed, the file will be processed. After processing, there is a popup saying that somehow the software upgrade failed and said something like make sure that your connection is correct etc. Do you have any idea on how to solve this issue?
    Help me, please. Thank you very much.

    This is asked and answered many times each day.  The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.

  • New iPhone 5s, cannot text or Face Time with my husband

    My husband and I finally got iPhones (now that T-Mobile began offering them – we were able to hold out that long, unbelievable). Needless to say, this is a life changing acquisition.
    The problem we just discovered with our days-old phones is that while I am able to text and receive messages from other people, and able to text my husband, he cannot text me – whether as a response to my text, or by starting a new conversation on his end. Sending a text to my phone (and yes, the number is correct) generates a "Delivery failed" alert. Even Siri coudn't pull it off.
    Neither of us can Face Time the other, though we can make voice calls to one another. Selecting "Face Time" from my husband's contact page will generate a "Victoria is not available for Face Time," and vice versa.
    Face Time, not a huge deal, though it ought to be available. Texting? That is important. And heck, these are brand new and everything should work!
    I see from poking into various forums elsewhere that this is not totally uncommon. Does anyone in our community have an idea (other than marriage counseling)?
    Thank you!

    First, iMessage and Facetime need to be activated in Settings. Check this support document regarding troubleshooting the activation process http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    It also sounds as if you are both sharing the same Apple ID. If that is the case, that can cause a problem as well. These additional support documents might help.

  • Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi.  Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact.  WiFi signal strong on both devices.  What gives?

    Face time fades out and then retries to connect (new Ipad Retina Display) on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from same location and same contact.  What gives?

    Is the router to small?
    Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
    Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

  • Face Time won't verify on either iPhone 4S or iPad 2

    Face time on either device will not verify my email address,which is the same MobileMe account I use for iTunes, email etc. I have see other people have problems with face time but none of the solutions have worked so far. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Have gone here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3510 but none of that applies - I only have one apple ID. I have tried to set up a new apple email address, and have tried to use my work email (non-apple).
    I have just discovered I can receive a Face Time call on my iPhone but not on iPad, and can dial out on facetime on iphone, but it still won't accept my email address. On my iPhone contacts I have the option to call using face time but not on iPad.
