Facetime usage?

Add skype to the poll. I think most of us are using skype video calling from now on...

 

Multiple times a day now and growing as more people I know have devices that are FaceTime compatible.

 

Agree, I would do it if I knew how to make a poll lol.

 

The only person I would remotely be interested in doing this with is my GF, and she has my old 3G, so that won't work. Skype on the computer is fine.

 

Worked out good a few times when a family member had computer problems i was able to see the issue and correct it.

 

I've been using it weekly if not more ever since I left my girlfriend and son in California to in early December to start my training for our Deployment. I jailbroke so I'm not restricted to wifi only and I bought her a macbook last christmas. What's even more enjoyable, is her son will get on after he get's home from school and call me by himself.

I honestly thought it was a useless feature until this. I still plan on using facetime or skype overseas if we have any type of internet connectivity.

 

ive used it a handful of times....mainly with the GF.

 

Well before everyone jumps onto the "facetime won't be used" bandwagon, I would like to point out to those to look into the history of the automobile, the train, the telephone, etc.
Facetime has only been out for less than a year, and only on 1 phone. I'm sure video calling, from cross platform units, will gain traction soon enough.

Heck, just look at how often kids now only text and won't call. To kids, texting has replaced calling. But they'll grow up soon enough and thing will change again.

 

OK - quick question to those using this as I'm very interested Android user looking very seriously at the iPhone. All of the video apps on the Android OS are add ons and not native, thus require a network connection to the service provider to "stay alive", which then kills the battery. Does FaceTime do this? I presume not since it seems to be apart of the dialer interface??

 

IMO Tango> Skype unless you to Skype iPhone to computer. I use FaceTime almost everyday it helps my partents see my son.

The reason FaceTime is only wifi is because Att network is to slow to handle FaceTime on 3G right now. When the next iPhone comes out Att wil have their HSPA+ up and running you will be able to use FaceTime on "4G"
