I recieved a call yesterday from someone who is in my facebook friends group. The do not have my number, and I was wondering if it is possible to call me without knowing my number through facetime. They hung up before I could answer the phone BTW.

Here's the skinny on FaceTime Use FaceTime with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
In short, If your phone number is on your Facebook account, then they could have gotten it from there. Facebook can sync with Contacts, and (if your privacy settings allow) they can see your phone number.
Alternatively, if:
- you're signed in to FaceTime (see in settings > Facetime)
AND
- your email used with Facebook is also used as one of the emails in FaceTime settings
THEN
they can call you on FaceTime with your email instead of phone number
you can change these settings in settings > FaceTime.
Hope this helps, mate!
You can also use email and they would probably have that from FB. -AJ
Thanks both of you, I didn't realise that. It is a bit strange that someone can call you when you haven't given them you number. I check my settings.
I just checked my settings and it is saying that I can't remove the email address..
TTry turning facetime off and then back on. Do you ever use facetime? If not go to settings> general> restrictions and disable it.
Thanks, no I don't use it so it's now off.
facetime, I recieved a call from someone on facetime who hasn't got my number, is this possible?
