My daughter and I are trying to connect through FaceTime. I have an iPad 2 with wi-fi and 3G. She does not have an iPad nor iPhone. She has a Blackberry smartphone. I've tried calling her via her cell phone number AND her email address. A message comes up telling me she is unavailable when I know she's sitting in front of her laptop waiting for me to call. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Apple, iOS 4, IPad
FaceTime will only work between iOS devices or to a Mac that has installed FaceTime.

Oh well, that answered my question. Gosh darn....Bummer. I was hoping to be able to see my two small grandchildren. Are you familiar with Skype? I hope it's okay to ask this here. Is there ANY way that we can connect? I remember when I had a laptop with the camera built-in, as my daughter does, that we could connect and see each other. Can I get any help with this question? As always, I thank you for your help.
Hi. Skype works quite well on the iPad. I use it quite often to chat with my G'Kids.
Skype works great on an iPad as well as on Mac's and PC's. It is easy to set up too.I use it to talk to family members all the time.
Thanks to both you and Thom_D. Okay, I don't have a computer, just my iPad. Is it hard to d/l Skype? I promise not to ask any more ?'s....LOL.
Not difficult at all. Tap the App store icon, and search for "Skype". Select Skype from the resultant list and install (it's free)
Here is Skype in the App store -> http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-for-ipad/id442012681?mt=8
Thanks to ALL of you for your unwavering help. It is much appreciated!
Can I use FaceTime to call someone who doesn't have an iPad?
