Yes ...., FaceTime does work over WiFi.

What are you specifically having problems with? It really helps if you provide specific details rather just telling is that you are having problems setting it up.

Hi Friend,

First, Where are you located and what country did you buy your idevice? Some countries have restricted facetime, ie middle east, UAE.

Check if you signed in Facetime with your Apple ID and password (Settings>>Facetime).

Check if you have signed iCloud in.

Check that FaceTime is not disabled in general/restrictions. If that isn't the problem try changing dns servers on your iPad.

Go to Contacts app and select the person you want call then tap Facetime.

If not works, check if the person who you are trying to Facetime has signed in his/her Facetime too.

Most of times the Facetime calls work calling from your friend's email address instead of mobile number. So try to call your friend both ways (his/her mobile number and his/her email address).

If still not working:

1. Go to the Settings App.

2. Tap on Wi-Fi

3. Your chosen network will be ticked. Tap on its white arrow over a blue circle button to its right

4. Tap on DNS

5. Replace the current information with 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

6. Try visiting a website with Safari to see if this works

7. Try registering iMessage / FaceTime

If still not working, go to Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Set Automatically: ON (Yes date time setting has been known to cause issue).

Hope it will be helpful
