I have the iPhone 4s and I do have one of the Mobile Share plans
from AT&T. So, if I try to use facetime over 3G and call a
iPhone 4 where the person is using WiFi, will the facetime call
work? I just tried now with my brother, tried with both 3G and
WiFi in fact, but with no success either way. The phone rang on
my end in both cases, but he heard nothing and he couldn't call
me on his end. He said facetime is turnthe on in settings on his
phone. Our mother is in the hospital and in pretty bad shape,
although we're not sure just how bad yet, and she was asking to
see me on the phone, as we had done that a few months ago when at
his home. How do I determine if the facetime problem is on his
end or mine?

Thanks Mark, but I would still like for someone on VZW to
confirm if
Face TIme is available and also if anyone has found that Skype
does
not work over the cellular network because it is blocked.
Everything I
have been able to find indicates Skype is not a problem over 3G.

Subject: Face TIme over 3G for those who live in the U.S
Hi all,
Anyone who has AT&T without a shared data plan is likely aware
they
cannot
use Face TIme over the 3G network. Although I do not believe I
would use
Face TIme for general conversation, I believe there are cases
where
it may
be valuable. Obviously there are services such as Skype which
apparently
AT&T does not block. Now with that said I decided to file a
complaint with
the FCC which is the regulatory agency for all things related to
communications such as wireless etc. in the United States. I
decided to file
the complaint because there is no technical reason for AT&T to
block Face
TIme over the 3G network and especially if they do not block
Skype.
My understanding is that Verizon Wireless does not block Face
Time
and mor
does Sprint. I believe that AT&T has taken this position for
one of
two
reasons and one of which is surely monetary. So, why do I bring
this up?
Because I wanted to let anyone who has considered filing a
complaint that
AT&T will respond. The best part is I have received an initial
verbal
response which is exactly what I expected. THe conversation can
be
best
summed up as "to bad." There was absolutely no point in having a
conversation with AT&T because despite the fact I pointed out
the
obvious
fact they do not block Skype or any other VOIP service or placed
any special
restrictions on such services, they have blocked Face Time. I
even
pointed
out how Face TIme could be useful in some circumstances for an
individual
with a visual impairment which incidentally is a true
statement.
So, I
anticipate that although AT&T has taken this position for now
they
will
continue to face a great deal of pressure from individuals and
groups to
change their position.
The good thing is there are other avenues and options.
