Q: can I make a face time call from an iphone 5 to a ipad when I am the registred user of both devices

Can I make a face time call from an iphone 5 to a ipad when I am the registred user of both devices. For example, I lend my ipad to someone else and want to have a facetime call with them from my iphone. When I call it connects and then hangs up immediately.

    I'm not sure if that would work since you would be calling yourself.

     

    I would a test call and see if it works.

    Hi,

    I just tried something and it worked....

     

    I am the owner of 2 iPads and 1 iPhone 5, all of which are registered in my name with Apple.

     

    One iPad is used by my wife, the other one by myself.

     

    In my Contacts list, I looked up her name, and at the bottom of the details there was a "Face Time" icon, along with the usual "Share Contact" "Send message" icons, etc. 

    When i touched the Face Time icon, one of her email accounts (different from mine, of course) showed the small face time icon next to it. I clicked that one and it worked.

    I tried the same thing from my iPhone and it worked too.

    Please note that my wife's iPad is registered with Apple in my name, but the only default e-mail account used on her iPad is hers.

     

    Please let me know if this helps and if it solves your problem.

     

    Regards,

    Jacques
