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

[appleguy123]

No dice, restarted my phone and nothing. The switch was actually enabled for like 2 seconds then it switched off.

Same.

 

[Tapdawg]

No luck in Riverside, CA area even after soft and hard restarts on my grandfathered 4S.

 

[YodasMaster]

Works for me. Grandfathered Unlimited iPhone 5 in the Bay Area.

 

[ndpitch]

Not working for me. iPhone 5, grandfathered unlimited. Boston area.

 

[Natesac]

Facetime over 3G and LTE only work for iphone 4S and 5! 4 is not supported it even tho steve jobs said it would later when it first release lol

He also said he was going to make it an open standard. Sigh.......

 

[gbnyc]

I had to hard reset.. Home & lock.. Now it works! **** Yea!

Same here. On unlimited data plan, iPhone 5, in NYC. Worked after hard reset.

 

[Daremo]

Reboot and hard reset, neither worked for me, here in Chicago.

 

[carlos916]

Woot just checked mines and I got it too..
I'm on the grandfather data plan .. iPhone 5

 

[faroZ06]

Oh please no! Now it's going to be slower because of everyone using this. I usually don't mind it being slow, but if it gets much slower than it already is, then it's just annoying.

Facetime Faied "Connect to a Wi-Fi network to use FaceTime".
iPhone4 running 5.1.1. Palo Alto, CA

iOS 5 doesn't support that, you'd have to upgrade. But you're on 5.1.1 just jailbreak it and get facebreak or MIFi and then you can take the limiter off of everything wifi restricted

 

[tracyj]

i don't have it either after hard and soft resets. iPhone 5 with unlimited. in Atlanta

Not working for me. iPhone 5, https://www.macrumors.com/2012/11/21/att-seems-to-be-extending-facetime-over-cellular-to-all-customers/

Just worked for two iPhone 5 with unlimited plans for us Boston, area (south coast area on 4G) . Had to do a hard reset. iOS 6.0

 

[HMI]

So, how long until we get a VoiceTime? As in FaceTime but without the video, meaning voice over data. Any predictions?

Probably a day after never.

 

[FolVike]

Working here in Sacramento. IPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1, ye olde AT&T 200mb $15 a month plan. Just turned phone off/on and Facetime switch was enabled.

 

[T-Will]

Works for both mine and my wife's iPhone 5 near Sacramento, CA. Both on grandfathered unlimited plan. Nice job AT&T!

Could this just be a Thanksgiving weekend courtesy?

Well looky here, seems like AT&T finally did something to the benefit of their customers for a change. Now if they can only give us truly unlimited data WITHOUT throttling.....

 

[deannnnn]

Not working for me even after a hard reset.

iPhone 5

Working here in Sacramento. IPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1, ye olde AT&T 200mb $15 a month plan. Just turned phone off/on and Facetime switch was enabled.

Becareful, one 2-3 minute FaceTime call is 30MB I believe. (Look up the original facebreak video)

 

[Marcus PM]

Not here

Not working for me in Seattle on a grandfathered 4S OS 6.0.1
Tried a herd reset too. Gave me a message to Call.

Every time I get throttled I call and complain. Sometimes I get credited for the data $30! I suggest everyone call everytime they get throttled

 

[freedevil]

No go in San Diego with unlimited plan.

AT&T does not count facetime cellular use towards your data plan. Just like MMS. Currently, that is how it works with their mobile share plans and that is how it will work once it is rolled out to all users.

This however does not apply if you facetime over cellular using a jailbroken method. Then it WILL count towards data for those on tiered plans.

 

[falconman515]

Works for me with my IP5 on Grandfathered unlimited plan from Fresno, CA.

I turned off my WiFi and at home and was able to facetime call the wife just fine)

Also my wifes IP5 on regular I think $20 data plan works as well.

Thanks AT&T for finally getting your head out your ass on not screwing the people who have been around forever!

 

[kybldmstr]

No go for me. iPhone 4S, 3GB data, Plan billed in New Orleans yet currently in Milwaukee. Both have LTE. Tried hard reset, no luck.

Just ask anyone with a mobile share plan. My partner works for the company so he let me know. I had no idea it works just like mms.
