IPhone :: Facetime Requires A Message Plan To Work
Jun 26, 2010
As I was having my iphone 4 activated, the "genius" informed me that Facetime will not work unless you have a message plan with AT&T. Funny how those "free" Facetime chats now cost $5 per month. Again, AT&T and Apple do a bait and switch. Or did they assume everyone had a message plan. I didn't and I still don't. Text messaging is the biggest scam these wireless companies have going. I can send an email with attachments, photos, videos, War & Peace if I want to and it doesn't cost me a nickel. Sent a two letter text message and it will cost me $0.20. If I really want to send a text, there are dozens of free text apps out there. Apparently, when you initiate a facetime call, it sends a text message to the recipient which doesn't count as a text message. So why the hell do you need a plan? Charge me $.20, not $5.00 per month. Blatant false advertising!!!!!

If you are unaware, AT&T offers data only plans to those who are hearing impaired (deaf).Since you have to CALL someone to do facetime, how does that work when you dont have voice plan at all. I know that after your call connects and you can move to facetime and your call will drop. But if you dont have any voice plan at all, how does that work ?They were not very clear about this.

How exactly does it work? Is it different from the family plan with normal phones. Right now I have an IPhone 3g and my wife has a basic cell phone added onto my plan as an extra line for $9.99. Would this stay the same if we BOTH were to get the new IPhone, and the only thing extra to pay for would be an extra $25 a month for the data plan for her phone? I'm just looking for a break down of how the IPhone family plan works, not sure if there is a combined family data plan or if you pay for each individually. Any info on this would be appreciated, AT&Ts site isn't very clear.

My daughter asked if she can have my 3gs once I get the 4. She already has a phone so I would simply swap sim card, but she will not get / does not have a data plan. Will the 3gs work for phone and texting (family texting plan)?

I just bought the iphone4s with the 300mb data plan. At first I thought this was a good choice as I will use wifi most of the time. But then I noticed that a lot of the apps need the Internet to run properly. My question is, how exactly does the data usage work with apps? If I download apps such as Facebook, words with friends, Brkery story, etc that uses the Internet constantly will it use up my data usage when I am not connected to wifi? What if the app is not open? Will it still use my data then? Also, how much data does a gps app use? For example, I get lost and use the gps while driving. How much data will the gps/navigation app use? Should I upgrade my plan if I am planning on downloading a lot of apps and checking it from time to time when I am away from wifi (will be downloading apps via wifi).?

I'm trading my BlackBerry Bold 9700 (locked to Bell) for an Apple iPhone 3GS (locked to Bell). I want to know if I can put my existing SIM card in the iPhone 3GS and expect it to work normally, i.e. surf the web, load apps, check email . If not, please advise how this can be done without incurring a rate increase or per use fees. Is data usage the same regardless of the phone's make?

So from my understanding you'll be in a phone call then you hit the facetime button and facetime will start. So will it use your minutes with att or will it end the phone call before starting facetime?

Will give it a week. I mean, let's face it. The front camera was one of the biggest new features that drew people in. I cant use it with ichat or any app so face time is my only route. Have tried in 5 different location with 3 other iphone 4 users. gets stuck on "connecting" and eventually fails. So Apple - you can either approve an App that lest me chat with an ichat user or give me money for the iphone 4 + another phone since I sold my old phone.

I am using a JB iPhone with an iPad SIM (data only). I also have My3G enabled. Tested it this morning on the streets of San Francisco that you CAN do FaceTime with an iPad SIM.

I've been having troubles with using facetime with my iphone. I never had this problem before getting a mac. Whenever I receive a facetime call or try to facetime someone, it says it's connecting but after a while, it says it's unable to connect because whenever I receive a call, my mac also receives it and when I pick up the call from the iphone, the mac somehow ends the call. However, for some reason, facetime works on macs.

I had a Bluetooth earpiece (Plantronics 925) and was in a voice call with my wife on her iPhone 4. When I initiated FaceTime and it transitioned over, it dropped the Bluetooth audio and reverted to the onboard speaker and microphone. With FaceTime's simplified GUI, there's nothing to switch the audio back to the headset, and tapping my button on my earpiece did nothing.
FYI, I also tried this with wired headphones and the audio continued on the headphones properly (didn't go into speakerphone mode).Looks like Apple doesn't really like, care, or know Bluetooth much or enough to implement AVRCP for controlling playback, or using Bluetooth audio for non telephony purposes.

Yesterday, I lost my phone at the mall. I used iCloud's "Find My iPhone" to locate it but in case I didn't get it back, I deleted all the data in it and called my carrier to deactivate my line. I was able to get it back so I got my line reactivated and restored it from a back up. But now, my iMessage and FaceTime won't work. I've restored it multiple times but it won't activate. What should I do?

Recently I switched from a CDMA service to GSM iPhone 4s using my same phone number. Facetime and iMessage will not activate. However, under Facetime settings where there is usually a phone number my email address is there (which is also my apple ID). So even though this is not activated someone can Facetime me using my email address. My phone was reset to factory settings twice and it didn't help. Apple Store tried to fix it to no avail and gave me a new phone. Once they loaded it back up, same issue. So we decided it was the carrier of the service. I checked with them and they are puzzled as well. We are thinking it has something to do with taking my existing phone number from CDMA to GSM and something happened.

I have searched a little bit about this subject but everybody says something different. In few days I will buy a BB Bold 9900. I won't have a Blackberry Data Plan. Can I use BBM with wi-fi? I have read some places that some people are talking about using BBM on wi-fi when they are overseas when they don't use their data plan. Is it something possible?
