Hi Ray and Cory, You can do a Facetime "Audio Only" call but both parties have to use iOS 7. In iOS 7 there is an actual Facetime app which looks very much like the Phone App but without a tab for a keypad, but you can add people to a Favorites list either as a Facetime Audio or Facetime contact, of course you could add the same person twice just like you can add somebody in the Phone App with a Home and a Cell number.
Cory, if you initiate a Facetime call and then press the Home key to get out of the screen or if you lock the screen, I think the video still transmits, but it's sort of put on hold for the other person. I think Facetime Audio is one of the very nice new features of iOS 7, I use it with my Mom who has an iPad 2 and a few other people and so far the quality has been fantastic and it's nice that I can just make an audio only call this way because it will, of course, also use less data if I'm on 3G than a normal Facetime call with video would.
