  1. Watch out!!! A number of people in the Uk have reported that their mobile company have charged for international calls made on facetime. Check the Telegraph – listed on Google search.There are a few specific instances where using Facetime audio for international calls may no longer be free. If facetime video is not working and you switch to audio in the call, it switches to an international call charge. I just found this explanation on apple somewhere but it is well hidden and i cannot find it again!!! I am lucky that my call was short, the intl charges not that expensive(£20) and my mobile operator refunded the call, although they could not identify what happened exactly. Be careful!!!

  2. T-mobile charged hectic amount by use of FaceTime to Japan !!! I was shocked to learn asbestos used FaceTime – without international plan $15/Mo it will be $3/min!!!!
