Facetime Costs

[ipfuser55]

I think I've got this right, but want to check my facts first. If both parties in a FaceTime conversation are connected via their own wireless networks the FaceTime call is free?

If I contact someone whilst using my wifi network whilst they are using their mobile providers network, then they incur the charge?

If I speak personal wifi to personal wifi in New Zealand still no charge?

Thought I'd better check!

Thanks

You are correct. There is no charge.

Forgive my ignorance....can an iPad have a Face time type call if the other person only has a Netbook?

Not unless its a Mac Air or other Mac, facetime is currently only available on Apple products.

But you can use skype can't you? Or is that restricted as well?

Skype should work fine, as it's cross platform. You would of course need a webcam if you want video too though

Yup. We use skype videoing (free of course) to our relatives in NZ too. We find skype so much more accessible than FaceTime.
