Hello len245,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that entering a new contact doesn't allow to use FaceTime and will do what I can to help.


Make sure the type of number is set to 'iPhone' next to the number you want to FaceTime with: Add and use contact information on iPhone


Also, be sure the contact you're adding has FaceTime set up: Use FaceTime with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Have a great day.
