FACE TIME

newstart2380 — Sun, 03 Nov 2013 07:59:27 GMT

Today I tried Face time for the first time on my Ipad, it was so easy to use and very clear so for me I will be using it instead of Skype where I can.

What does evefryone think and have you used face time yet ?

do Ipads have sound?

My old aunt had a stroke recently and is still in rehab hours away from family. I was thinking of getting her an ipad or something similar but I don't know anything about them.

I was thinking she would be able to keep in touch with family through facebook.

She would be able to do that skype face time type thing too?

And she loves to read, so can you use an ipad/tablet type thingy as an e-reader?

does face time cost anything extra or use much data?

Don't know about usage but when I am talking to my family I really don't care about the cost or usage. I have 50 g every month so no problems.

i dont actually face time so cant answer that. I expect if you are using wifi, it just goes on your normal internet usage?

I have face time.

About once every week or so.

When I shave.

Otherwise I leave it alone.

for usage Telstra did a test for face time, for both video and voice only calls:

"Telstra estimates a 10 minute VOIP call on a mobile would use about 6 megabytes [MB] of data while the same video call would use about 300 MB. But another VOIP app called Viber estimates its app uses about 2.3 MB for a ten minute call."
