Same Apple ID on multiple devices

Between my iMac, iPhone and iPad, how do you manage it so that when someone calls you on Facetime it hits all devices?? Is there a way to prioritze devices for communication?

HI,


If Face Time is On and active on each device it will ring each device until you answer one of them.


In fact Face Time does not have to be open on the Mac as an incoming call will "wake" it and make it launch.

Whilst Face Time can be any Apple ID (if you also enable it for Face Time) it is more difficult to use an ID instead of phone number on an iPhone It can be used on an Touch or iOS device that is wifi (rather than 3G).


iChat on the other hand will require an @mac.com or @me.com or AIM Registered ID at least.

Apple ID based on other forms of Email address may not be valid in iChat.
