iPhone can only use FaceTime through wifi unless jail broke. If as you say you're not jail broke then unfortunately you must be in a wifi location.

Well, for someone like me, if Verizon (my provider) discovers that I've jailbroken my phone, they can and probably will invalidate my contract with them. Since I have a service offered through them that they no longer offer - unlimited data - I'm not going to risk losing that by jailbreaking. Could I go to another provider for that service, like Sprint? Yes, but it would be a huge hassle, and besides, my out-of-town parents also have Verizon service, which means I can call them anytime without being charged minutes to my phone.

I just use Skype for video calls. It's a bit choppy on 3G, but it's sufficient when I'm not in hotspot territory.

i thought a law was passed that said jailbreaking was legal?

U.S. Declares iPhone Jailbreaking Legal, Over Apple

Jailbreaking is legal.

The networks are not happy because they are afraid customers will use a tweak to tether their iPhone to a mac , pc or laptop hence swamping their data streams.

And will eventually happen unless networks sit down and realise what they charge for data and why we JB.

I happen to know an old trick to stop Verizon from ever knowing you jailbroke. It works too.

"don't tell them"
&
"restore before taking in for service, or sending back for exchange"

Works every time. (laugh out loud so hard...)

you are not risking "anything" so long as you do those 2 things.lol.

This is absolutely correct. I had Verizon for years. The last few with rooted Android Phones and a Jailbroken iPhone - The never knew... and I suspect they wouldn't have cared if they did. If you tether and go crazy... they just might say something. My brother plays WoW over his OG Droid (tethered) - he has for over a year now and they have never said anything (he is with Verizon as well). I suspect they don't care - but Zig is right... unless you tell them they have no way of knowing. So don't tell em

Take care,
Rob

I've had that unlimited data going on 2 or 2 1/2 years w/ Verizon and so far nothing. Just play it smart and don't tell on yourself.. G/L
