Facetime is a video or audio call only it has no text option.


Facetime is an internet based communication app. It only costs whatever you pay to access the internet. Either your cell data plan or your internet access over wifi. Otherwise no, it has no cost of its own.


The blue iMessages in the Messages app are sent over the internet, so again the only cost is whatever you pay for internet access already.
