Want To Try Facetime? Apple Can Help

route facetime 20100611 Want To Try Facetime? Apple Can Help

Did you just get your iPhone 4, and desperately want to try Facetime, but don’t have anyone to do it with? Don’t know anyone dedicated enough to the cause to pick one up themselves? Well, Apple are here to help. Just dial 1-888-FACETIME (188832238463), and some poor Apple employee will have to look at your ugly mug.

The Apple reps are there 8AM to 8PM CDT, and by all accounts are actually answering the calls. Just don’t forget your Wi-Fi for it to work.

So, how long until this dissolves into a Chat Roulette situation? Are the Apple employees going to get swamped with dicks?

    Mmmm, don’t want to see an employee.
    Maybe someone can make a forum for this? Give out numbers and meet people from your area?
    Now that would be cool!!

    That would be good idea and just use a google voice #. so you don’t have to give out your real digits

    I just tried it… absolutely awesome!!! Even if it was with a tech. I highly suggest trying it out if you don’t know of anyone else with an iPhone 4! I’ve seen many failed video calling implementations before but FaceTime is just perfect, hands down. Now if only AT&T would hurry and get their a$$es in gear to get this working on their network. :)

    I would really like to try a little facetime with a super hot slutty apple employee chick. I’m totally flexing my biceps in anticipation. (ladies, call me ;-)

    I just did it for sh*ts and giggles. The employee was pretty cool. He told me something I didn’t know, either. FT doesn’t use your minutes. I thought it connected over the cellualr network but just transferred the data through wifi but I was wrong. No minutes are used at all.

    I tried it with a tech, too. She was really friendly, which wasn’t what I was expecting. I also thought that the voice call continued over the cell network and video was sent over wifi, but the tech clarified. It works realllllly well. Need to get an iPhone 4 for my wife now so I can vid chat with the family while I’m at work.

    Me and my sister both have iphone 4s and when she calls me on facetime it works perfect on her end she can hear and see me perfect but i can see her but she is frozen and when she talks its like she has a bad broken voice. What could be wrong???
