Does facetime go towards data usage?

Yes

If you're on cellular, yes. If you're on wifi, no.

Yes it does but not as much aa you would think. I used it for about 30 minutes and it only used 100mb

So just to understand--- if I am on wifi and connected, will this automatically go on wifi as opposed to cellular or is there something else that I need to do? Is it the same when I am receiving as opposed to calling?

Thank you.

Yes that's correct, essentially just like any other data usage.

I do FaceTime frequently with my kids on their iPods, and I haven't noticed a significant data usage increase. I do it using cellular data by the way, not wifi.
