My phone company wants to charge me for 4 FaceTime calls

Hi there,

my phone company wants to charge me for 4 Facetime calls in September.

I live in Köln Germany and called a friend in the U.S. ( with Facetime - proved in the calling list)

Since I thought it is a free call -like Skype - we talked quite a while. Now I'm getting a bill of more than 100.-€uros. for that month.

Did anyone experience something similar? Is that correct at all?

Hope to here from some people !


Jörg

Hi Jörg,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Apple support have an article online that explains about FaceTime.

Says:

"With an internet connection and an Apple ID,

you can make and receive calls in the FaceTime app


You can also make FaceTime calls over a cellular data connection,

which may incur additional charges.

To turn this feature off, go to Settings > Cellular, then turn off FaceTime".
