iOS 7 Contact with multiple FaceTime ID

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7, however I found that in Facetime app I cant differentiate the two ID I saved as favorite for the same person. Say that person want to be reached by his phone number on his iPhone, and be reached by his apple ID email address on his Mac, it used to show the lable of the email you saved on your phone, now it just says FaceTime.

And it even got worse, when I press the FaceTime button in the contact app, I can choose which phone number or email address I wanna ring in iOS6, but now in iOS7 it just start facetime and I can't even tell it is calling the phone number or the email address.

Is there a solution for this?

That exactly what I did, but the only issue is that I cant tell the difference since it only shows the contact's name, not like in iOS 6 it shows the name and the label to the email/number.

Yeah, it is like you said for incoming facetime calls. I hope they will fix it, just to show - it is e-mail facetime or nr facetime. That's it 😉

Yes I concur, exactly this problem!

I agree that this is weird. If it works as it appears to, FT is defeating the whole point of having different IDs for different devices. Dumb.

That's not a solution to the problem being posed. It could even be classed as off-topic. Did you read the question?

I am having the same issue. This worked just fine in IOS 6. Why mess it up?

Hey Apple is there;

You are lucky that boss is gone so soon and we are unlucky every time that someone from you wants to play with new toys.

Just fix the .......... Issue of the FaceTime.

I have exactly the same issue! I write only to help to force apple to go back like FaceTime worked before. Meaning to have the possibility to choose the FaceTime account for calling!

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

I tried this with my girlfriend before, I try to initiate FaceTime in a iMessage text thread, but still all her device ringed.

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.

Sorry, contact list for FaceTime. Previous post.
