Facetime over 3G Verizon

No, FaceTime over 3G is currently not possible at this time.

 

FaceTime doesn't work on any3G without jbing it. Tango works though.

 

FaceTime doesn't work over 3G.

 

Yes it works with skype. Download tango it is like FaceTime and cross platform and works on 3g

 

no, I would think if they had intentions of allowing it they would have included it in iOS5. Maybe when they release an LTE iphone?

 

Pretty sure it works with Skype over 3G

 

As stated above FaceTime over 3G is absolutely possible. You must jailbreak the phone, however. Most expect a JB for 5.0 to be out shortly after release.

 

I believe Apple have had discussions with the mobile networks before and since FaceTime was introduced on the iPhone 4 but the networks are reluctant to allow it over 3G. There is mo way of knowing if and when they and Apple will come to an agreement regards this.

 

I thought with iOS5 you could FaceTime on 3G?

 

iOS 5 is providing the base ability. But it is not active. My guess it'll be a new feature in iOS 5.1 and only be allowed when the carrier enables it. Similar to how tethering and MMS was provided, but not enabled until the carrier wanted it.

 

Ah, that explains it.. thanks.

 

The carrier doesn't want you using the data. They implemented tiered data plans for a reason. They want you to use the phones you paid for on the plan you pay for, just not as much as you want and for what you want to use it for.

 

Or both under an unlimited plan.
