FaceTime via email on 4.01?

[dranakin]

Is there a way for a (jailbroken) 4.01 iPhone to FaceTime via email with an iPod Touch, or is an upgrade to 4.1 required? Thanks.

No

Try opening up safari and type this in:

facetime://email@address

I tried it and it went the the facetime screen but didn't connect because the email address was fake because I don't know anyone with 4.1

I tried it with a valid email that has facetime available and it failed

Hmmm...having the same problem with a Gmail address, with the period before "com" disappearing.

It really worked?!?

That is really the only feature I feel I am missing out on with 4.1, as I want to pick up a new ipod touch for my parents soon.

I suppose even if you could FaceTime call an email, someone with a touch couldn't initiate a FaceTime call with you, could they?

Also tried putting multiple "...." but try all disappear as well. Hmmm.

Okay, I've tried substituting various symbols in for the period in .com, but nothing seems to be different, except for this odd clicking sound before it fails.

So it doesn't work?

For some reason the '.' in any email I try disappears when trying to FaceTime.

I was just joking guys

 

[tempusfugit]

I hear you, same here.
I restored 3-4 times now because facetime keeps going down and I dont know what or why this is happening.
I gave up, Im stuck with no facetime and waiting for the 4.1 JB to update to and give it a shot.

Just sayin guys...

 

[Applejuiced]

Just sayin guys...

Lol
Good catch.

If you actually think about it the question to begin with and assumptions that this would work is whats Hilarious.
You will obviously need both devices sending and receiving the facetime request over email to be on 4.1
