Keep in mind that as of iOS 7 one does not have to use video with Facetime, it is possible to make an audio call only. I certainly don't always want people to see me and if you are using cellular data or have a slow WiFi connection as it often is the case in hotels or a public WiFi, Facetime Audio is preferable as it uses less bandwidth.

Lori: I use face time on my iPhone5. I am a blind iPhone user, and facetime is a form of video conversation through the iPhone. As a blind user, it doesn't matter to me either way, as I simply prefer to use the phone in the ordinary manner, but I have friends who like to see who they are conversing with. Hope this helps. Blessings! Michael G.
