Hi All,

I was trying to Facetime one of my friends using two iPhone 4's. We were standing right next to each other and both had wifi signal. My friends iPhone 4 displayed the option to Facetime, but mine did not. It only has the "Hold" button where the Facetime option should be. I tried turning the phone on and of and no help. I'm positive I was on wifi. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
 
It doesnt work if your both using the same router, :rolleyes:

Guess Apple didnt think people would try and test it on the same network?

Yes. It indeed works on the same router. Everyone needs to have FaceTime enabled.

Settings -> Phone -> FaceTime "on"
