I put my Apple ID on my iPhone 4 and on my aunt's iPhone 4. But when we call each other, FaceTime does not work. Should I create a 2nd Apple ID and put this on one of those phones...and how do I accomplish that?
iPhone 4, iOS 4.2

The E-Mail address registered with the Apple ID, is part of your iPad's FaceTime ID. You may be able to solve the problem by obtaining a second E-Mail address, and registering it with your Apple ID.
I think you should be able to call the iPhone from the iPad, since the iPhone's telephone number is its FaceTime ID. However, the reverse may not work without the second E-Mail address.

Fred is correct. I have two iP4 phones and two iPad 2s, all with the same iTunes account, but each device has it's own Apple ID for facetime.
Thank you so much, Fred, for answering my question. This works!
I have the exact situation you have...thanks for the solution and for answering my question. I'll get busy getting those different IDs.
On these same lines, I have question. We have 1 Apple ID that we use over 2 laptops each with 1 device each. Each laptop has its own music, apps , etc that sync to their respective devices. Now to set up icloud i believe i need to create a separate apple id for one of them. otherwise, everything will sync to the same cloud? Does anyone know? please advise if you have any insight. also how do I create a second apple id for one of these laptop/device combos?

I do not know the answer to your question, and have not yet succumbed to the Cloud! I think that if the Cloud is designed correctly, there should be a way to keep individual devices with their unique sets of Apps and data, all under the same Apple ID.
I suggest you create a new thread, since this old one deals specifically with FaceTime. Someone who knows the answer may never see your question here.
Fred
Yes, to keep content separate you will need separate iCloud accounts achieved with separate Apple IDs.
Can same Apple ID work FaceTime on 2 iPhones?
