I am getting ready to travel to another country (Turkey) and want to be able to Facetime with my daughter. Will I be using international roaming on the cell side in addition to the WiFi network or will it be WiFi only with no additional charges?
Â
Thanks
does facetime require wifi and cell minutes, FaceTime 3G signal, facetime cell phone minutes, facetime srilanka, facetime uses wifi or 3GI havent had much luck finding any info on this, and I’m sure I’m not the only one going through this. I’m in the military and am about to embark on a deployment. AT&T does offer a service suspene free of charge and while I’m going to take advantage of that, I’m trying to figure out if I can still use Wi-Fi and the FaceTime feature while on my deployment. We will have Wi-Fi available at my deployed location as well. Â AT&T tells me no, as they claim the entire phone will be bricked. They could not point to a reference anywhere where it says this. Â Apple support says yes, that I can use Wi-Fi when abroad and with no cell signal. So which is it? For kickers, here’s what my own tests have found out: Â FaceTime works with Airplane mode on, Cell Data Disabled, and Wi-Fi enabled. Â FaceTime does not work with SIM card out and Wi-Fi enabled, though all the other apps do. Â FaceTime does work with SIM card out, Airplane mode on, and Wi-Fi enabled. (Weird to me.) Â Â Â I refuse to pay for cell service while I’m abroad and am not going to use it. If it wasn’t for the FaceTime feature that I find invaluable to use when I’m gone, I’d be using my iPod Touch in a heart beat. Â Anybody with knowledge on this topic? Thanks!
I’ve been so excited about my iPhone4, I can’t even sleep. I ordered a 32G which worries me because I hear some of them are still not being recieved, but back to the topic. Â I’m really excited for FaceTime. It does seem like webcaming but with so many AT&T WiFi hot spots, you can basically FaceTIme anywhere. Â A feature we all should not under estimate is the gyroscope. The possibilities with that feature are LIMITLESS.
Has anyone found out what the connection is between texting and FaceTime? Apparently the FaceTime program won’t work if texting is unavailable on the iPhone. Is there any way around this? Thanks.
I understand Facetime will only be available over wi-fi to begin with, but Apple is working some issues with the Carriers to allow it over 3G. Â So, if and when Facetime is available over 3G, will it just use minutes or will it use some of the Data Plan limit? Â If it will use Data when it is available over 3G, how many MB per minute of talk time? I’m trying to decide if the possible future use of Facetime over 3G will even be useful with the 2GB data plan.
