Facetime comes up with connection lost on IPAD 2.

Both have the latest operatinng system ios 6, that's Iphone 4 and IPAD 2. When trying to connect to Ipad from another distant Ipad , it does not connect, neither does the ringer sound. I have tried at home using my Iphone to ipad as well trying to connect facetime, still connection failure on ipad. ipad to iphone over wifi at home with a good signal, no response on ipad except - connection lost giving the call back or cancel options. nothing received on iphone. i have tried putting 8.8.8.8 in the wifi setting on the dns as some website suggested . when i use my iphone to connect to ipad via face time the ipad opens facetime with ringer - accept does not open dialogue and eventually comes up with connection lost, meanwhile iphone still ringing. So ipad opens facetime but does not connect. facetime icon on ipad desktop show missed call. Eventually Iphone says Facetime not available

can anyone help please

OK try resetting your device - Power+Home for 10 secs, then the screen will turn off then on with the Apple Logo.

i cant see that restore would work as - this will only restore the backup at 9.28 this morning - that had the problem

i think you need to look deeper into the settings for this problem

I have done everything suggested except restore from my earlier backup. Situation is still iphone rings ipad, accept on ipad does not - eventually ends with connection lost, while i phone still ringing.

the reverse from ipad to iphone never gets to iphone - but comes up with connection lost - wifi settings on ipad has dns of n.n.n.n,8.8.8.8.

whats the renew lease setting for?

I had the same problem - went to Settings > Facetime > and it had my Email checked as the "You can be reached by Face Time at: " > I deleted my email address from there so it checked my phone number. Made sure "Use Cellular Data" was checked on. I did 2 test calls to people and worked perfectly 🙂 hope this helps!
