iOS 7 Contact with multiple FaceTime ID

No. She can be reached on her iPad with her email AppleID alone.

OK - good to know - thanks for the reply

Like all the above comments, I am truly ****** with ios7 and facetime. It sent simpler as I can't make a single facetime call cos it picks the landline to facetime. Apple PLEASE help us all, someone at this great company should be reading these comments!

Pull ya finger out!

Another work around, instead of creating a separate contact...if you initiate an iMessage text to the iDevice you wish to ultimately facetime (for example, send a text to your spouse's iPad via iMessage). Once you have that thread started, now select 'Contact', you'll have the option to facetime that particular device. It's not the best fix, but at least you don't have to create a new contact for every person that has multiple iDevices.

@mission301: I find this doesn't work.

In the message thread, I scroll up to my gf's name, hit facetime and both her iphones (1 work, 1 personal) ring. I thought something was buggy, but came across this thread and am surprised Apple removed a feature like this. WHY? Please change it so users can select which device to call. Seems like a bonehead decision.

EDIT: I found a fix. I removed my gf's work number from her contact, and added it to the 'notes' section. Seems a bit ridiculous.

What I can't understand is that none of the tech sites i frequent have even mentioned this problem? And no acknowledgement from those above, that there is one! It's infuriating to say the least.

I know this solution won't be suitable for some, but here is my fairly easy workaround:

I have a contact who has an iPad and Mac, but an Android phone (go figure). I have several phone numbers and home and work email addresses under that one contact. So... I simplay made a new contact with <firstname> <lastname> iCould, and iCloud.com (or mac.com) email address. No other phone or email address at all. Now I can choose that over the the original contact because the last name includes "iCloud" and is easily identifiable when making or receiving a FT call.

If you have a lot of contacts you need to break out, this could become too cumbersome, but it worked for me as I have only a few like this.

Good luck!

Ok! I have the fix (workaround).

1. Instead of going to the favorites section, go to Contacts.

2. Find the contact you want to add and tap his/her name.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the contact's details and tap the button entitled 'Add to Favorites'.

4. Pick the appropriate phone number or email address.

5. Select FaceTime or FaceTime Audio.

Done!

@Alexander Chow

I tried this. In the favourites, there is no way of distinguishing which device is which.

Also two different favourites (eg mobile and email) still ring all devices.

I share everyone's frustration!!!

Please provide direct feedback to Apple. I'm not convinced anyone at Apple ever reads these threads!

(Happy Holdays, with little FaceTime frustration, to all!)

It's really a good idea to provide direct feedback to Apple -- they have ruined a perfect product and a killer app in iOS 7. Given the recent noticeable improvement from Skype, people are going to be less inclined to use FaceTime, thus reduces the incentive to use iOS overall.

ok guys I had the same problem and I solved it by removing multiple number per contact. then I created contact for each number and ask all affected parties to do the same. eg: contact R with 2 numbers, we dinstinguished in adress book

Me too discovered this bug as soon as I installed iOS 7.

Today with iOS 7.0.5 the bug is still there. Not even a good workaround is possible. It is ridiculous to create separate contacts for each individual phones numbers or emails.

What is so obvious, that shows it is a bug, is by the following:

In the settings of FaceTime the reception mode (phone number or email) is selectable. BUT when you place a call, there is simply no option to select (phone number or email). In iMessage this option is available when you create a new message. So what happened in the transition from iOS 6 to 7?

Please Apple, solve this ASAP!

In addition to the multiple contacting, I find I cannot add any contacts to my contact list on ipad. Help posts say to press + on upper right corner to add new contact! but in fact, this just shows a search box which doesn't work as the contact is not on FaceTime list. I have looked up everything I can to rectify this, any suggestions?
