As I mentioned in a message here the other day, I wasn't sure
whether FaceTime not working was a problem with my phone or my
brother's. But, since my brother was able to get a FaceTime call
with me to work using Wi-Fi on his new iPad, and my sister and I
could FaceTime with her iPhone 4 using Wi-Fi and my 4S again
using the cellular network, it looks like the problem between my
4S and my brother's 4 must have been due to a setting on his
phone.
Anyway, now that I am able to do the FaceTime over 3G with my
AT&T iPhone 4S, I do have some questions.
First, does anyone know just how much data a call like this uses?
Best I can tell from my research on Google and trying to keep
track of my data usage, maybe somewhere around 3MB a minute.
Second, since I normally don't want to keep my Wi-Fi turned on,
using the 3 or 4G, or whatever it is, just works better for me.
But, am I sacrificing the quality of the picture the folks see on
the other end by not using Wi-Fi?
And, third, what is the best way to hold the phone for one of
these calls? I mean, holding the phone perhaps ten inches out in
front of me and about waist level as what is normally needed for
my family members to see me, not to mention trying to make sure
we can hear via the speaker phone, well, I'm more than ready to
end the call and give my hand and arm a rest after about five
minutes. But, am I missing something here in regards to the
proper way to handle one of these calls? Would using earphones
or the back facing camera make things any better? Or, perhaps I
just don't understand the right way to position my face and the
camera to make things work the best?
