Let Apple demo FaceTime with you live
As Friday dawns, you're eager to play with your new iPhone 4. Unfortunately, you're the only person you know who has one. How can you experience FaceTime?Call Apple!
Simply dial 1-888-FACETIME, and after a moment or two, an Apple employee will answer and show you how it works as well as "a few advanced tips." Note that this service is available between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM CDT only.

Does this face time button only show up if the receiver of the phone call has an iPhone 4? I don't see this option on my regular calls

June 25 2010 at 3:43 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replygave it a try. advanced tips are basically just
- moving your monitor of your face around the screen
- portrait to landscape mode
- switching cameras
- multi-tasking while in facetime
Does this mean that FaceTime is available on iCha? Or do all the reps at the 1-800 line own an iPhone 4?

June 25 2010 at 2:02 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhat are these "few advanced tips"?
June 25 2010 at 1:30 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWell... FaceTim would confuse people, since the person who answers may or may not be named Tim... :)
No WIFI at work, so I'll have to wait and try it later.
Hrm. 888-FACETIME is an eleven digit number. Is that correct? Or am I missing something?
