No, Windows users can't use FaceTime on Windows machines (or on Android for that matter). FaceTime is a video chat service for devices made by Apple. For Windows users, there is no way to use FaceTime on Windows PCs.
And with FaceTime audio, the call is free. These calls don't eat into your cellphone minutes and aren't transmitted over your cell carrier's voice network; instead, these are Internet calls. When you're in a WiFi hotspot, they're completely free. When you're not, your carrier's data network carries your voice.
Compatibility. Both FaceTime and Skype are available for iOS and Mac OS X, but due to the fact that they are separate applications which require separate accounts, you cannot use them together.
- To install the Facetime immediately, click Open or Run, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
- To install the FaceTime later, click Save, and then download the installation file to your computer.

The short answer - you can either call a phone number (iPhone + FaceTime) or an AppleID (iPod/Mac/iPad + FaceTime) and you can't call another device with the same number. To call back to your mac (or any other AppleID device) - you'll have to make a second account with a different Apple ID.
It dates all the way back to the iPhone 4 when it could only be used with Wi-Fi. However, since the iPhone 4, you could Facetime without Wi-Fi. All you need is a cellular data 3G or 4G connection. There is no difference between using Facetime with Wi-Fi or with cellular data, except of course, for the cost.
is it free to FaceTime to another IPad or IPhone anywhere in the world? Answer: A: FaceTime itself is a free service, so if the wifi or cellular connection your are using is free FaceTime is free. If that connection costs you or uses data against a plan quota, then those charges or limits still apply.
If you search for a contact to add to the FaceTime call and grey rather than blue and can't be selected, their Apple device most likely hasn't been updated to iOS 12.1 or MacOS Mojave, or FaceTime hasn't been set up on their device.
Go to Settings and check if FaceTime is ON or not. If ON, toggle it OFF and then wait for 60 seconds and toggle it back ON. If it is already OFF, toggle it ON, then toggle it OFF and then again turn it ON. This should then show the FaceTime button in Contacts App or Phone Calls.
Yes, you can FaceTime from any of your Apple devices to another Apple device using the same Apple ID. So, for example, if you left your iPhone at home you could FaceTime it from your Mac in the office.
The reason for this is sharing an apple id. Then multiple people/devices are signed into facetime and imessage with the same apple id, all of the devices receive calls/texts/etc. The only way to stop this is to either split apple ids - so each person has their own, or to completely stop using facetime and imessage.
You can also choose to selectively disable the ringing feature on other devices if you'd like to just opt a single device out. Here's what you'll want to do: Open the Settings app on the iPhone and go to “FaceTime” Toggle the switch for “iPhone Cellular Calls” and flip it to the OFF position.
To change the default calling app on Mac, open FaceTime on Mac, select "FaceTime" > "Preferences" > "Settings". Change the "Default" for calls to "FaceTime".
Much like regular calls, FaceTime calls do not automatically terminate. When the call is between you and another person, and the party hangs up, your phone will end the call but only as a result of the call being ended by the other individual. Why is the FaceTime app iOS only, and will that ever change?
