My FaceTime keeps on failing

I been having same problem, on a ipod i fixed facetime by just updating.

On iphone5, im reading updating it will work. I dont want to update to the new IOS. Im leaving that as my last option -.-

From what it looks like yes , updating will solve it. Thats how i fixed my ipod now and its working perfect. Please do let us know what happens there is a lot of people having same problem.

Try updating you iPhone to the latest iOS version. If this does not work or you have already updated just make sure you are connected to WI-FI that has an Internet connection. iPhone 4 does not allow you to FaceTime with data depending on your carrier. For example AT&T will NOT allow you to FaceTime over data. If you are still having this problem please contact you carrier.

Updating the iOS will solve the problem? Bull! I have the latest iOS, 7.1, on my iPhone and my facetime keeps failing every time I try to reach my mom or she tries to reach me. She also tried to facetime my brother with no luck. We have identical iPhone 4s, but mine is the only one with iOS 7.1 as my mom and my brother refuse to update their phones from iOS 6.something(my brother's) and heck, I don't think my mom has updated her iOS once since getting the phone so it's probably still iOS 5.something, but she's never had issues with facetime previously.

From all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page.

The issue is probably on Apple's end, since there have been many threads already today re: facetime not connecting.

issue still happening. i'm on an iphone running 7.0.6. trying to connect with my parents who are on an ipod touch. keeps failing. if i FT with my wife's phone, it works fine so it seems to be an issue with iphone to ipod, higher ios to lower ios, or combo of both. apple support had me reset my network settings, reboot the ipod and reboot my parent's router to no avail. i'm guessing it's on the facetime server side b/c everything's been working fine for months until today.

Same here.

Was working on the night of the 16th and come the morning of the 17th no luck connecting anymore.

I too have my mum with iPhone 4S on 6.1.x and I can't have her upgrade to a rather drastic change on the iOS interface. She will be lost (she's 73 years old)

Please Apple stop this nonsense to have people resetting their devices or forcing them upgrade to a different version when you know something has changed in the back-end

Hi I have the same issue like the above or below questions? Will apple notify or place an update when the fix will complete I was able to use facetime last month fine but 3 days ago too I get connecting or ringing from facetime but when I answer it connects for awhile like 5-10 seconds then disconnects or ends immediately

I have the latest riOS too I downloaded it but same issue I can't use facetime!

I just wanted to keep in touch with my mom who is sick & I'm sick too we just want to get old of each other through facetime I worked my butt to pay for these phones but apparently is not working is apple banning new users?

Please help!
