I don't understand why the person has to be in your contacts to FaceTime them ...

Because that is how the FaceTime app is written. Other ways could have been used, but you are using the one that was chosen.

Yes, they would (so long as they are using the same app you use.) That is how FaceTime works. It works that way in my iPad, iPod, and on my Macs, too. Therefore, I guess it does work "both ways."


I note that if you "dial their number" on the iPhone, you are phoning them, not using FaceTime.
