FaceTime will not connect with one contact

This is my Mom's iPad. FaceTime works fine as she can call other people; however, every time my Mom tries to FaceTime with her Mother, the call won't connect. My Grandma is able to make FaceTime calls with her other kids / contacts but when she tries to FaceTime my Mom or vice versa, we can hear the call come through; however, it won't connect. I've tried googling this issue, etc. to find a fix but nothing is working. My Grandma and Mom are both set up as Email contacts as neither one has a cell phone / cell number. I have already deleted the app and reinstalled it a few times, powered down the device, etc. Nothing works. Has anyone else experienced the same issue and resolved the issue ? If so, can you please let me know how you did it or what worked ?


Thanks,

Karen in Canada

Hello Karen,


We understand that your mother and your grandmother are unable to FaceTime one another. We’d be glad to assist. 


Do they get an error message of some kind when they try to make a FaceTime call? Let’s follow this great resource as well:

If you can't make a FaceTime call on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Which version of iPadOS is each iPad running?

Find the software version on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod


Cheers!

Hello, thanks for the reply. No, they did not get any error messages. The call rings but we can’t accept the call or get the call to connect.


Not sure which version of iOS my Grandma is running but she’s able to FaceTime with other family members. My Mom’s iOS version is 14.3 which is the latest version. My own iPhone is at iOS 14.2 as I’m having problems with updating to 14.3; however, I have no issues with FaceTime with my Grandma. She’s actually been calling my iPhone via FaceTime just to talk to my Mom
