6 iOS was released last night from Apple and among the many new features we find finally a chance to chat with FaceTime 3 g network too. FaceTime, for those few who still do not know, is a system of dedicated Apple users video calls. All those who are in possession of an iPhone or an iPad or Mac, are able to VideoCall with each other for free. A functional service and very well done that until now was available only under WiFi network.
But as mentioned, with the arrival of iOS 6, FaceTime on iPhone and iPad is now also available in the 3 g network. The possibility of mobile video was an option much awaited by Apple users, but had already wondered if FaceTime service under non-mobile network could result in extra costs relating to the generated data traffic.
Unfortunately, we are aware that many mobile operators shall prohibit the use of VoIP applications on your mobile phone, or let them pay for their use of expensive extras. In America for example AT&T has already announced that those who want to use FaceTime under its mobile network will have to pay extra.
With regard to Italy instead, mobile operators have spoken on this subject just yesterday, driven by the insistent demands of their customers.
3 Italy stated that FaceTime could be safely used under its mobile network at no additional charge. A word that is not surprising given that the handler has never placed any constraint type for using VoIP programs.
Along the same lines of 3 Italy also Wind, that despite not being an official partner of Apple in our country, did know that FaceTime will be easily usable free of charge for all customers who want to make video calls on the move.
Speech a bit different as far as TIM and Vodafone.
TIM, is done only to know that FaceTime will be usable on its own mobile network, but also stated that not all his plans permit data for free. However the operator did not specify what data plans include free use of FaceTime and which are not. Probably we'll find out in the next few days or after the launch of the new Apple iPhone 5.
As for Vodafone, the Manager said that FaceTime under its mobile network you may use freely only if you have subscribed to one of 100 + Smart, Smart 200 + or one of Smart + subscriptions. Would rather cut off all other subscriptions that actually already today in terms of use prohibit the use of VoIP applications.
