Why do my FaceTime calls on my iPad go through my iPhone, causing me to be charged?

Community Answer

You're using the same phone number or email address. Change this in Settings > FaceTime.

Question

I am using an iPad trying to call a contact who is using her iPhone. We connect, but she cannot hear us at all. We hear her fine. Any ideas?

Community Answer

It sounds like your microphone may be blocked. Ensure that your iPad case or other objects aren't covering it, and ensure that it's clean of debris.

Question

Why can't the other person hear me when I FaceTime her?

Community Answer

If you are using headphones without a built-in microphone, it could cause this issue. If you're using a separate microphone, make sure it is properly connected. Finally, ask the other person to make sure she hasn't accidentally muted you.
