AT&T Taken to Task Over FaceTime Blocking
Does anyone actually use Facetime?
I use it, but I actually use FaceTime more on WiFi. Why?
Here's the steps to initiate that first Skype call:
1) Tell the other individual you want to call them on skype
2) Have them go to the app store and download Skype

5) Have them add you - wait 5 minutes for it to recognize the friend request on your end

You mean..enabling FaceTime in the menu and calling someone via FaceTime is troubling? My god you never seem to know anything of what you are talking about.
I didn't say anything about it's being 'troubling' I said that setting up an Apple ID is no more 'simple' or 'easy' than setting up a Skype account, the number of steps is about the same in both cases....the idea that setting up a Skype account is something really difficult and time consuming but setting up an Apple ID just easy peasey and require absolutely no effort is just total BS.......setting up a Skype account takes about 2 minutes.....and setting up an Apple iD takes about 2 minutes.....neither is 'easier' or 'harder' than the other....
