See Turn On FaceTime in the support document Use FaceTime with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Turn on FaceTime

Open the FaceTime app and sign in with your Apple ID. You can also do this from Settings > FaceTime. 

If you're using an iPhone, FaceTime automatically registers your phone number.

If you're using an iPhone or iPad, you can register your email address:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap FaceTime, then tap Use your Apple ID for FaceTime.
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID.
