Cannot facetime one particular person Suddenly I am unable to facetime my dad in eastern Canada. Had been able to forever including on my new iphone14, but suddenly unable just this week. After attempting to dial him on my MacBookPro I get an instant "Call Failed" message. When trying on my iPhone14 I get an immediate message that reads "Choose Another Phone Number or Email Address to Call Dad". Then a sub-message stating "+1xxx-xxx-xxxx in the contact card is not available for Facetime". Why ? My brother is able to facetime with our Dad, and I am able to facetime everyone else I have been facetiming with in the past. Only thing we haven't tried is Dad facetiming me, which is the logical next test, however he is not all that sharp when it comes to electronic devices, usually relies on us calling him. Anyone, anyone ...? Oh, btw, no issues reaching him thru his iPhone for basic calls.

Unable to use FaceTime I wonder if getting a message that reads: "Choose Another Phone Number or Email Address to Call (Contact Name). (123) 456-7890 in the contact card is not available for FaceTime", has to do my phone or the phone of the person I'm trying to reach. I was OK to do so until just a couple of days ago when this message started to pop-up. I tried deleting and inputting the contact's info, resetting my phone, tuning on-off FaceTime but nothing works. I noticed the information for that particular contact doesn't show the FaceTime option where the information list is at. It only shows the phone number. That contact does not have an email either.

FaceTime - contact card not allowing My son can call me from his phone with only his child iCloud email logged in but I can’t call him FaceTime back. It says his contact card doesn’t allow it. Why can I receive FaceTime from him but not call him FaceTime back?

What error? If you are using the incorrect phone number, use the correct one.
