I usually only FaceTime my mother but have noticed that most of the contacts in my phonebook have FaceTime "greyed" out. I know that most of them have iPhones but have every setting for FaceTime turned on. Is there a way I can make FaceTime available for everyone? Thanks in advance for your replies
It's an iPhone 8 with the latest IOS.

What has me puzzled is that I can and do FaceTime my mother weekly. It's just most of the other contacts have the FaceTime icon "greyed" out and I cannot FaceTime them. So I know that it's working just not for everyone.

I just figured it out. If the phone number in my contacts didn't have the area code, FaceTime was greyed out. After I entered the area code the icon appeared and I'm able to FaceTime them. Sometimes the smallest details make the difference.
That may be true. I've got AppleCare on the phone and I'm getting ready to call them. I'll post back what they say.
The person FaceTimed me earlier has it turned on on his phone and hasn't done anything to hamper me from FaceTimeing him.
They can FaceTime me. FYI I have iMessage turned off. But I'm still puzzled as to why I can only FaceTime certain people.

Can anyone who is greyed out on your side, FaceTime you?
They may have turned off FaceTime (except when they call), or disabled FaceTime-over-cellular?
Why can't I FaceTime certain contacts?
