Hi Daniel & John, I had thought same Apple ID, but then John mentioned he can FaceTime from iPad to iPhone. But then John is probably using the phone number for iPhone and of course email address for iPads. So iPad to iPad with same email address Apple ID would NOT work.
But, you can get this to work by creating a new email address on one of the iPads. How to Use FaceTime With the Same Apple ID Do you want to place calls between two iDevices using the same Apple ID? By default, all devices connected to the same Apple ID utilise the primary email address associated with that Apple ID. This emails they'll all ring if a FaceTime call is placed to that email address. It also means you can't place a class between two devices, just as you can't use one home phone to place a call to your house and answer it with another phone. But luckily, Apple has provided a rather easy workaround for placing FaceTime calls on the same Apple ID. To place a FaceTime call between two of your Apple devices, you will simply need to add a new email address to one of the devices. This will allow FaceTime to differentiate between the two and place a call to a specific device. You can add a new email address to FaceTime in the iPad settings. Simply select FaceTime from the left-side menu and tap your finger where it reads "Add Another Email..." Once you add a new email address, you must verify it by going to that email's inbox. There should be an email waiting for you from Apple with a link that will verify the email address. (If you need to send the verification email again, you can do so from the same settings screen where you added the email.)
