FaceTime is Apple's video and audio calling service. Think
of it as a phone that uses your Wi-Fi or cellular data connection instead of
traditional phone lines. You can use it from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or
Mac, to call anyone else using any one of those devices. That's what makes
FaceTime perfect for seeing and hearing family during the holidays, when you're
on the road, keeping grandparents connected to grandkids, making international
calls when you have no long-distance plan, getting a second opinion on that
jacket while you're out shopping, sharing a show, making a meeting, and much,
much more.
Placing FaceTime video or audio calls is ridiculously easy
to do. There's a built-in FaceTime app on every iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and
Mac, and FaceTime is also integrated into the Phone app on iPhone, As long as
you're on Wi-Fi or cellular data, you can stay in touch with family and
friends, even while traveling, connect with anyone in the world, even without a
long distance plan, and not only hear but see the people you're talking to.
FaceTime starts off using your iPhone phone number and Apple
ID email address as the way for other people to reach you. You can add new
addresses — for example, a work or school address —and remove them at any time,
though, and set any active number or address as your Caller ID. That way, no
matter which Apple device you're using to make a FaceTime call, no one will
ever be confused about who's calling them.
You can block a contact from trying to FaceTime you and
phone you and iMessage you at any time.
Whether it's a former significant other, friend, relative, or associate you've
fallen out with, or a spammer or prank caller harshening your mellow, block
them once and they're silenced forever. (Or at least until you decide to
unblock them.)
