FaceTime does not work over 4G on the new iPad

You shouldn't be susprised because Facetime has always been solely a wifi service. It was never advertised to work over cellular data. Skype works great for that.

Facetime works great with wifi iPods and iPads though. Its higher quality and has less drops than skype.

Its great to have all the choices on the #1 tablet, and still get OS updates on the day they come out.

iPad is not a tablet, it's a giant iPod. Tablets can actually do more than play dumb games and watch videos which the iPad only seem to be able to do.

You could say the same thing about Android as well.

You're an idiot. You can do the same thing on iOS and Android.

no you cant...otherwise people wouldnt argue that Android is better than IOS or visa versa...

you sir are the idiot

Android has operating specific functions and apps that IOS or Winphone cannot do

i wouldnt worry about it… i would say there will be a jailbreak app quite soon for anyone that has a problem with it… but i have never video chatted with my phone and i doubt too many people do on a regular basis… i think apple still couldve left the option though

But fodder for the brainless droidlets

I think you're the only retard here, even we fandroids know this was imposed by Apple so iFans don't exceed their monthly data limit and put the blame on them later...

Hey guys just use TANGO. It is better than face time & will work with 3G.

thats not true in the least. every other mobile OS that has video chat can do it over 3g and 4g. ONLY apple forces you to use wifi. so.. lets see.... oh yea, thats an apple restriction.

You can still use any of the other video chat services like Skype through 3G or 4G on the Apple products.

this post is stupid X2, first off, you are dead wrong. second off, you said "let's not be retards about this" and your posting name is paulyyd, who is not only on jersey shore, but is the most retarded one on there.

at&t and Verizon does not have access to the software on the device, so this is Apple's doing. My LTE galaxy note lets me use video chat over LTE not Wi-Fi only. (stock video chat too)

Glad to hear you got facetime working on your droid. Still running froyo?

18. frydaexiii (Posts: 1475; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)

Awesome thing eh? Even froyo/Android 2.2 allows you to video call with 3G while iOS 5.1, the latest doesn't...

Not everyone has data limits. Some of us are lucky enough to be grandfathered into unlimited data. Others have the disposable income to pay for the overages, although in this economy that is probably a low, low number, and this is the important one here, there are those of us responsible responsible enough to conduct ourselves without needing our hands held.
Just more Apple and their, "You're holding it wrong," mentality.
