How was it on previous betas? Showed the prompt but still allowed the FaceTime call?
I think at this point we need to put some of the blame in apple. They've obviously designed it so carriers get that control over the feature.

Apple can't be in charge of stuff like that with data specific services.
In response to "Why doesn't Sprint charge for it?" before you edited it:
Because they choose not to. Apple isn't in charge of it, all they're doing is giving the carriers freedom to choose whether they wanna charge or not. At the end of the day, it's the carriers who will or will not be making money from stuff like Facetime over 3G. Apple doesn't make money from you using data on your phone, the carriers do. I don't see how this is Apple's fault.
I changed it because I miss read the post I quoted. But yeah its just lame overall. If we're not on unlimited and pay per GB anyways, why make an extra charge. *Brain explodes from anger*
Yeah I understand. I just don't see how it's Apple's fault.
All the more reason to jailbreak and get it for free...
Agreed. Hopefully there will be an iOS 6 JB sooner rather than later. Especially for the new iPhone
yea thats the only crappy thing it was a while for the 4s. im sure the 4s,4, iPad 3 will have jailbreak soon after ios6 is released.
I don't wanna JB, there is always some battery leak with an app or something that can happen. They should have a battery leak with a feature built into the phone's software.
We'll see what happens when iOS 6 officially comes out. This is just a beta, remember.
But if it ends up being that they charge extra on top of their plans to use FaceTime over 3G, I will not upgrade to the next iPhone and will switch to Verizon in a year, especially if the iPhone 5 is LTE.
well I think its either that or people wont have the option at all. I wouldnt blame apple for this.

For those on AT&T, why not just use Skype instead? I'm on VZW and don't use FaceTime. I'm just curious about all the rage when there are alternatives available.
