Wow. I tried this and it worked for me. Now getting FaceTime over cellular on my unlimited plan in Denver. I restarted the phone again and it's still switched on too.Hmm when I looked back at my settings, it got turned off. When I turned it back on, I got the pop up and instead of going to "cancel" or "go to website" I decided to reset my iPhone 5 with the Facetime toggle still on in the background, when it booted up, I immediately placed a facetime call with my mom, and sure enough I was facetiming on LTE.

I thought AT&T was enabling this for all iPhone 5+ and iPad 3+ devices.
Seeing someone with an iPhone 5 say "it works for me" doesn't give me any hope with my 4S.

They said iPhone 5+, not the 4S or 4.

As per AT&T's announcement, it will work for any LTE device, iphone 5 or iPad. The rollout will take time, though.
The article says it does not apply to unlimited data plans, only tiered plans. From the article, "those with grandfathered unlimited data plans are out of luck". I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan....
I have this working on an iPhone 5 with LTE AND a 4S on HSPA+. Both have unlimited plans.
Its not just 5's

Not supposed to be able to "turn it on". Just shut your phone off completely then turn it back on. If it will work, it'll flip itself over for you.

I been restarting every 5 minutes and trying to turn ON the facetime over cellular data option.
Still nothing.
I need a break

Looks like a gradual roll out. Patience, friend.
I hear you.
I looks like it will roll out sooner or later to all of us.
Glad all the pressure from consumers, fcc and FTC complains paid off.
One less hack I will now need to install on my JB iphone
Turned my ip5 off and back on, it's now enabled. Central PA, on iOS 6.0. And I have unlimited.

Still a no go for me, yet. Tried restarting my phone a few times and I am still getting the popup when I try to reset it. I am in Los Angeles and on unlimited data. I will try again tomorrow. It is no big deal. I probably will never use it since I never use it over wifi.
