Can I use facetime with internet but no Wi-Fi?
I'm studying abroad this summer in Spain and I know that I will have internet access but we may not have Wi-Fi. If I don't have Wi-Fi, will I still be able to make facetime calls for free over the internet? I'm not really sure what the difference is. I have an iPhone and a Mac as well, so I don't know if it's different over the phone vs computer since I could use both. Do I need Wi-Fi? Or is internet okay?
Internet and Wi-Fi are the same thing. Do you mean Internet and cellular data? If so, which will you have and which won't you.
When your phone is connected to the internet through the cellular network, FaceTime will cost you your data allowance and/or overage fees. FaceTime will be free if your phone is connected to a local Wi-Fi access point.
For your computer, it will cost you if you use the phone's built-in hotspot feature, and will be free if you connect to the local Wi-Fi or wired internet.
You need to connect from your device to a router. You need that router to then connect to the Internet. The first is done either with Wi-Fi or with a network cable. The second is done by buying a service from an ISP. You do need both!
- Why doesn't my iPhone 4S have FaceTime in the settings, can't use? Had my iPhone 4S replaced due to a cracked screen about a month ago. Since I replaced it I have not had iMessages or FaceTime, tried to turn it on and play with settings within my Settings but there's not FaceTime setting available. I know it should be there but is here any reason it wouldn't be? And what can I do to fix it besides a trip to the apple store?
- What's the earliest/ cheapest type of ipod/ iphone I can use free Facetime with? Most of my phone bill goes towards texting and phone my girlfriend, so it would be much cheaper to just buy whatever I need to use Facetime or whatever it's called to do video calls over my Wi-Fi. What's currently the cheapest model capable of this? But which model of ipod? The very first one?
- I restricted FaceTime from my child's iPhone 5s but she can still make FaceTime calls to her friends because there's a video icon? There's a video icon next to her friends name in her phone list. How can I completely remove this icon please?
- I'm not able to broswe internet, but I'm connected to the internet? My iphone can connect to my router and browse fine. But my wired computer, Windows Vista, is unable to pull up a webpage. I'm also able to ping IP addresses for sites, but can't ping the name (ie.google.com) All my ip4 settings are set to "obtain automatically". Any suggestions?
