Check if your facetime is activated or not, it should be under Settings>Facetime.

I think to facetime you have to have the number added to your contacts list - I cant see a way to facetime someone without it. Then in the contacts list you can select facetime from there, or in Facetime select the contact there and it initiates the call fine.

On ios6 when i click facetime a popup menu will let me choose if i wanted to facetime the number or email of that contact, now it just go straight to call.

Thats the problem im having, my wife and i have facetime setup that way, @me email will call our macs and @icloud (alias) will call our ipads :) and of course phone numbers dedicated only to phones, same with imessage wich still works the same but facetime nope.

I am having this problem as well. I just recently updated all my iOS devices to iOS 7. As I was getting a FaceTime call all of them started ringing. And I did make sure to make each device receive through 1 email. Except for my iphone. I have no idea how to fix this.
