Facetime Thread

[Tom]

Hi.

Pm me for facetime sex.

 

[Craigus]

OMG!

 

[Christopher]

Hi

 

[Rob]

I need to facetime someone when I get home!

 

[Christopher]

I'll be up for it. I said I'd do Revels first though.

 

[EllD90]

A mate rang me earlier from his iPhone 4 and we couldn't do it. How the fook does it work?

 

[Christopher]

Must be both connected to WiFi (for now)

Must both have iPhone 4's.

Press FaceTime and it sends the other person an invite, like webcam in IM.

 

[EllD90]

There was no facetime icon/option to press

 

[Christopher]

Weird. There is on mine.

Sure you both had WiFi?

 

[EllD90]

I'd give you my number, but my mummy said don't talk to strangers. Sowwi.

 

[Gareth]

you do know you've got to establish the call first then look at the screen for the facetime option?

 

[EllD90]

My mate rang me, he had WIFI, I had WIFI. I didn't see a facetime option.

 

[Rob]

So it's not "free" as it does use minutes/cost the same as phone call?

 

[EllD90]

It's a completely pointless feature of the phone. Could just use a webcam!

 

[Gally]

I always carry my pc/laptop and webcam in my pocket.

 

[EllD90]

95% of the time, you only have WIFI in office or at home. You're hardly going to start a facetime call in the office. So you'd do it at home. Might as well just use the computer.

 

[Reev]

Pretty sure I read somewhere that it doesn't use your minutes. I'll see if I can find a link.

Edit: Looks like I was right.

You have to turn the feature on in the settings, go the the phone section in settings.

I have tried it a couple of times, did cut off quite a bit, not sure if that is down to Apple or what.

When on a call you can request a FaceTime chat or you can actually make a FaceTime call from your contacts straight away.

+1.

Never without them.

 

[Revels]

I'm available for nakedness later.

 

[Tom]

1 hour until you get my FT call.

Be Naked.

 

[Christopher]

I was just going to show you my glowing keyboard TBH

Mine still isn't working

Can you be more specific, where in the settings?

EDIT: Sorted!

 

[Adam]

In the phone settings lol.

 

[Peperami]

So is this the same as videocall on my 4 year old k850i?

But less reliable?

But most importantly doesn't make the other person look like a Lego man. Think thats the difference :rasp:

Had my 1st FT call a minute ago and its clear as a bell. Well impressed

 

[Christopher]

+1

Just had one with my mate in Manchester. Really impressed!!

 

[Adam]

All my calls keep cutting off, anyone else?

 

[Mot!]

I'd put bad/dropped calls down to latency, poor wifi signal or a poor ISP.

 

[Adam]

Could still be down to Apple though

 

[Adam]

Nope, I have to admit it must be down to Virgin Media as was working fine when me and Ben were using Be.

Might give VM a call for a laugh lol

 

[sneeks]

I've had two FT calls now and both have worked perfectly. Very impressed.

 

[Adam]

Who is your ISP?

 

[sneeks]

Virgin Media 20mb

 

[Adam]

lol, so it must be my mega fast, low latency 50Mb VM connection

 

[172Ben]

im game

 

[Adam]

seeing as you get free wifi with bt cloud etc and most major citys have this all over them your statement is false.

 

[Adam]

Mine is working fine now, every call has been spot on. Not sure what is wasn't working properly before.

facetime friend!
