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

As always, AT&T screwed up again. Worked in the morning but doesn't work anymore. AT&T just giving false hope to people. Have iPhone 5 with unlimited data plan.

I'm on the north county coast (Cardiff) and I was able to get the FaceTime toggle to go on and when I try a FT call it does try it and I do not get an error, I just can't get anyone to FT with.
 
Mine has stopped working. Grandfathered unlimited iPhone 5. FaceTime over cell was working last night. No longer working this evening on iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
 
Not working in Seattle ...

iPhone 5 / grandfathered unlimited plan ... Since seeing original post yesterday have tried to get this to work ... No luck
 
Northern NJ... worked this morning, restarted my phone during the day, now it doesn't work at all. Rebooted twice now and still not working.
 
I don't know what you all complaining about, especially those who have unlimited. As much as I hate ATT, you guys better stop complaining and be thankful that you unlimited people are getting something.
 
No go here

I have 4s unlimited (and I usually use less than 200MB/month anyway). No FaceTime over cellular. AT&T said that unlimited willnot get it.

Hubby has 4s tiered. No FaceTime over cellular. AT&T said they are rolling it out over the next 10 weeks. Fresno has crap coverage for all phones anyway, so I'm sure we'll be at the end of the list.

We've never used FaceTime anyway, so not a big loss. But it'd be nice to have the option.
 
So I called into tech support and the rep said some plans are already working with the FaceTime over cellular, while the other plans still need to be configured in their systems, which is the 8-10 week timeframe that was announced. I asked him if he could check whether my plan was already configured or not. After a hold, he came back on the line and said that my 5GB + tethering plan has not yet been configured. The expected time frame was after the new year. 🙁
 
I live in Lewisburg PA, I have an iPhone 5 with 5gb data plan on AT&T. I did a hard reset and then switched facetime over cellular to the on position and it did activate it, but then as i tried to facetime i got the pop up saying to call AT&T or visit their website to activate it.
 
Unlimited Data on EDGE / early 3G = what?

Do you have any idea for how many years some of us have been paying for our unlimited data when the limits of technology and patience made it essentially impossible for us to actually use our "unlimited" data.

P.S. - Los Angeles iPhone 5 w/Grandfathered UD; hasn't worked yet, despite numerous on-off cycles and resets

Yup. It was working last night and this morning on both of our 5's. Just checked tonight and it won't switch back on. The iPhone 5 is my 3rd iPhone, (had a 3GS and then a 4), and it will probably be my first iPhone to be jail broken.

iP5 with unlimited data here.
 
tried it last night, this morning and just now 10:09PM PST in Bay Area CA and it still works over LTE.

i5 with unlimited.
 
It was working this morning for me on my iP5 Unlimited plan but then now it is not working anymore located here in the Bay Area
 
It's pretty clear that this was a mistake by AT&T and all the publicity that was drummed up by forums probably caused them to reverse the mistake. Thanks MacRumors. Next time, lets just be thankful for a gift without announcing it to the world.
