Using email address for iPhone FaceTime

Does calling a FaceTime email address mean that all of the recipients Macs and devices will ring at once - including the iPhone?

I don't have direct experience with this, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

FaceTime on an iPhone is associated to the person's phone number, not the email address. Their email address would be associated with an iPod touch or FaceTime for Mac.

This seems pertty dumb. I Hope iOS brings a secondary option to add a Facetime e-mail address to the iPhone, that way it will ring my iMac, MacBook, and iPhone at once.

Interesting fact. I had 2 laptops online last night with same facetime email ID. They both rang when someone called me. Made it very confusing to figure out which room to run to.

The fact my iPhone still WILL NOT ACTIVATE on tmobile since Im back in country is FRUSTRATING. IT worked twice before and each time i replace the sim i go through this.

Ur right EMAIL is a better solution! especially when we travel a lot AND switch sims upon landing. Means NO ONE has our CURRENT facetime number!!
