Thanks to you, Sieghard, and also to the others who responded. I used
to think my communications skills were at least adequate; but I was
frustrated that I couldn't seem to get across the idea that since my
sister in law doesn't have a smart phone, I did not know what to use in
lieu of the phone number. Again, thanks to all.

Hi Don,
No, she has to use her sisters email address and the sister has to make sure
that Facetime is enabled on her iPad under settings. By default the email
addressed she uses for her Apple Id is used for Facetime on an iPad or iPod
Touch, but she can also add other email addresses in which case she can be
contacted via any of these addresses.
I believe you said your wife wants to initiate the Facetime call so she will
have to create a contact for her sister. In this case all that would be
needed is her name and email address. Then your wife can either use SIRI to
initiate the Facetime call or she can go to the Contacts app, tap on her
sisters name and then tap on :"Facetime" or "Facetime Audio". Facetime Audio
is only available if both are running iOS 7, in iOS 6 only Facetime video
calls were supported, but I think you said they wanted to do a regular
Facetime call which means including video.
Regards,
Sieghard

D, J, funny you should say that because that is the very point I have been
trying to make. Her sister is not yet in her contact list. Her sister uses
a Wi Fi only iPad, in other words, there is no associated phone number. Her
sister's phone is not a smart phone. So, are you saying that I can use that
number in the contact list to connect with the iPad?

Donald,
It's very simple. If her sister is in your wife's contacts, all your
wife needs to do is say, "Facetime Lisa", and the Facetime call should
go through.

My wife wants to make a face time video call from her fifth generation
iPod to her sister who has a second generation Wi Fi iPad..
Please tell me all necessary steps so as to accomplish this. Thanks.
