Hi,
I want to buy iPad 2 but without 3G. Would facetime work for that? Since I cannot connect to the mobile service provider.
Thanks!
Cheers,

Definitively, facetime works over wifi using your email. In fact, facetime doesn't even work over 3G.
Yes. FaceTime actually only works when you have a WiFi connection, so 3G does not play any role in how it works.
Thanks Oliver and Craig,
This is strange... I am using iPhone 4 and when I facetime, I must choose the number that I need to call. Does it mean that the voice is over mobile (3G) network and facetime video is over Wifi?
So that's why I am thinking if the iPad 2 doesn't have 3G, how to "call" another number int he first place.
I might need a little more help 🙂

Not sure about this but .....
FaceTime works over wifi conection not 3G however if you have your iPad outside a wifi connection you can link it to your iPhone. Because that is wifi you can use face via your iPhone 3G connection.
I think
Perhaps someone can confirm

You select the phone number simply as the id of the device you wish to FaceTime. When FaceTime was first released it only worked on the iPhone 4. It seemed logical at the time to use the phone number as the id. Now that you can FaceTime with the newer iPods and the iPad2, which do not have phone numbers, they went to email addresses to id the device. For example if you wanted to FaceTime me at my phone, because you know I always have that with me, you would select my phone number from your contacts. If you were sure I had my iPad, you would choose my email address.
YESSIR!
FaceTime, regardless of what device you're on, operates through WiFi. So whether or not a device has 3G compatibility doesn't in any way effect FaceTime. Thus, why the new iPod Touches are FaceTime compatible.
Does facetime work on iPad without 3G
