Oct 4, 2014 8:40 AM in response to ajs42548by Lyssa,It's tied to the Apple ID also - I believe it would use that to find the right person/device.
Perhaps this article would help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319. It looks like you may want to go in through your contacts and make the call.
If you're concerned about data charges, put your phone in Airplane mode before trying to Facetime. That will prevent it from trying to make a call over your cellular data.

Oct 4, 2014 8:44 AM in response to Lyssaby ajs42548,Thanks to both of you for your responses. So are you both saying that I won't have to use country codes? The area codes would already be built into my contact numbers. I will be using wifi BTW.

Open Contacts app or FaceTime app and tap the video icon.
