1-888-FaceTime

[TheAppleGeek]

According to a tweet from "sstaver", Apple has set up a number for people to "test out" FaceTime.

Give it a call. It's indeed legitimate.

EDIT: Title fixed.

If only it was real... That's ok though, I have a friend that I can videochat with (I actually just got done videochatting with her a fer minutes ago!)

 

[mgmusicman94]

It's real. I called it.

"You have reached 888 FaceTime outside of Apple's regular business hours. Please try your call again during normal business hours."

Does a random Apple rep pick up or something?

It's real. I called it.

"You have reached 888 FaceTime outside of Apple's regular business hours. Please try your call again during normal business hours."

Yeah. It's definitely real.

It's not a bank. You must be dialing it wrong.

The OP originally posted the number as 1-800-facetime, which is apparently, a bank.

So who do you video chat with? An Apple rep?

Apple probably hired hundreds of people just to answer those calls. That's good for the economy. Nice job Apple!!

 

[SFStateStudent]

Yeah, it's legit, but I'm calling "outside of normal business hours" (Guess they don't have 24/7 FaceTime Test)

[kr00k322]

Oh cool I might have to check this out tomorrow..most of my friends thought they could walk into an Apple Store at 1pm and get an iPhone lol.

 

[mgmusicman94]

Do the demo phones at the apple store have phone numbers? I might just have to get a number and FaceTime with people in the store. I used to video chat with people in the stores, screen share and mess with people, etc. It was fun.
