Welcome to Discussions, Bebjan +(and Kerato, too)+

(1) iPhone 4 requires iOS 4.1 or later to place or receive FaceTime calls with a person using an iPod touch (4th generation). Update your iOS *if you are still using iOS 4 as shown in your posted system info or anything else less than 4.1.*

(2) If your iPhone is already updated, the first thing to check is your wi-fi connections. Try connecting to several of your iPod friends from your Apple retailer's store, an internet cafe, or some other wi-fi location known to offer FaceTime-compatible wi-fi connections.

*If you can connect from more than one other location but FaceTime continues to fail at your home wi-fi network*, use the Troubleshooting suggestions in

to troubleshoot your home wi-fi network. If your wi-fi network is the problem, and if you want to manually open ports instead of merely enabling UP-n-P, see this article:

(3) *If your problem is the same at more than two wi-fi locations*, try restarting or resetting your phone:

(4) *If nothing else works*, see your retailer to have your phone checked. It may need service.
