AT&T Seems to Be Extending FaceTime-Over-Cellular to All Customers

working for me! iPhone 5 unlimited/iPad 3rd gen.

thank you for this wonderful gift, AT&T!

iPhone 5 w/ Unlimited Data here in Portland and, after multiple restarts (both methods) I still can't activate cellular facetime calls - just get the blue box to call ATT.

I'm probably overly hopeful but could someone who has unlimited data and working facetime over cellular attempt to enable personal hotspot? I'm curious to see if that suddenly works as well

Hard restart did the trick for me.

Didn't work the first time. I did a hard reset and it worked after that.

I mentioned it in this thread earlier today. https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/16335982/

I have an iPad 3.

This is a joke

What if I have an iPad touch? How do I get it working without cellular?

HMMM, no working on wires 4S and my daughters 4 doesn't even have the Facetime over cellular toggle anymore.

Anyone lese or am i missing something?

Nothing there either! This is very odd, especially because I remember there being an option at some point. Perhaps iPhone 4 has had this hard-coded out somehow?

I've got:

Cellular Data
Enable 3G
Data Roaming
Set Up Personal Hotspot

Use Cellular Data for:
iCloud Documents
iTunes
Passbook Updates
Reading List

It's under FaceTime, not general settings.

IP4 does not support FT over Cellular, only 4S and 5 on IOS 6+

My husband and I both rebooted our iPhones. The toggle for FaceTime over cellular DID appear for his phone (a 4S with unlimited data) but NOT for me (iPhone 4 with unlimited data). Ah well... :-\

Same here, regular restart did not work. Edit: well, nevermind. Now it's off, and I get the dialog If I try to change it. Weird.

Anyone from indy or surrounding get this to work?

Pretty sure it's supposed to be in both locations, actually. BUT...

The man above has my answer, which I also had just come to from a quick Google. Of course, this is absurd because the iPhone 4 has a front facing camera and 3G, so there's absolutely no reason it shouldn't support it. Oh, Apple...

There still remains a possibility that this is an oversight on AT&T's part. We are reaching out to AT&T for clarification on their policy.

If it's an oversite, why draw attention to it???

Richmond, VA - turned off phone, back on, FT over Cellular data switched ON. Works.

iPhone 5 unlimited, works for me. Had to power off and back on.

Same thing here. I did a hard reset on my 4S and if I toggle the switch I get the blue data screen pop up. If I reset again, the toggle will be on and again I get the pop up if I toggle it off and on. Strange

I restart, look in settings and its turned on while the phone is searching for a signal. As soon as I have service again it switches off. Pittsburgh 4s unlimited

Lucky! Sigh my girlfriend has poor cell reception at her apartment (we're long distance) and AT&T wants to charge for a microcell, so FT is our main source of communication sadly

I have an iPhone 5 with an AT&T unlimited data plan. FaceTime over LTE works for me now. In fact, my girlfriend and I were able to FaceTime over cellular. She has an iPhone 4S with unlimited data with AT&T. Worked great.

Working for me. i5 unlimited AT&T nyc suburbs.

Don't really care about FaceTime so much as personal hotspot. Any idea if that will happen?
