A:

iJacob,

 

People can ready you on FaceTime by using the following hardwares:

 

     iPhone 4

     iPhone 4S

     iPad 2 (Wifi/3G)

     Mac computers with FaceTime application installed (Lion and Snow Leopard)

 

And with iMessage, users will need an iOS device, which supports iOS5

 

You can check your ID (they way people can reach you) by going to the following on your iPhone:

 

     Settings > FaceTime

     Settings > Messages > Receive At

 

The above should list your phone number and email address (if have an Apple ID signed in).

 

As for why you are receiving FaceTime calls and iMessages from people who are not in your contacts, it is because it's designed to be like a telephone service, so everyone who has your email and phone number can reach you.

 

Here are some more infomation about how to use FaceTime:
