You can place a video call to another iPhone, iPad, Mac, or iPod (third generation and higher). Facetime does not require a Wi-Fi connection. You can place and receive calls using a 4G connection (provided that you have at least one bar of service). However, using Wi-Fi may still provide a better video calling experience. Refer to

 icon on the Home screen. The keypad appears.

icon to place a FaceTime call. A high-pitched beeping sound plays until the call connects.

 button at any time to switch cameras, as outlined in
