FaceTime says unavailable whenever I use it and I can't call other people

Facetime only works with Apple iOS and OS X devices that support it. Currently the only Apple Facetime enabled devices are:

iOS Devices

• iPhone 4 or later
• iPad 2 or later
• 4th Generation iPod Touch

OS X Devices (must support OS X Snow Leopard** or later)

• iMac with built-in iSight Camera
• MacBook with built-in iSight Camera
• MacBook Pro with built-in iSight Camera
• MacBook Air with built-in iSight Camera
• iMac with built-in FaceTime HD Camera
• MacBook with built-in FaceTime HD Camera
• MacBook Pro with built-in FaceTime HD Camera
• MacBook Air with built-in FaceTime HD Camera

**Snow Leopard computers must have FaceTime App installed. It can be purchased from the Mac App Store. OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion have the FaceTime App included in the operating system software at no additional cost.

You may see the FaceTime unavailable message due to the following reasons:

• Your iPhone is not connected to wifi network.
  
• Trying to communicate with a non-Apple phone with front facing camera.
  
• Not logged to FaceTime service with your Apple ID.
  
• Person with FaceTime enabled iOS or OS X device has not set up his FaceTime settings yet.
  
• Attempting to communicate with a non-FaceTime enabled device.
  
• FaceTime settings not properly set on your phone (You can check if this is the case by going to Settings> FaceTime).
  

I hope you find this information helpful. For more about FaceTime you can see this support article or see this webpage.
