Noooo, never! Why on earth would you want to...you'd have to get hair and makeup on before making a call.

I did Facetime for the first time in my life this Christmas -never again thankyou lol!

All our family calls are FaceTime calls, can’t remember the last time we just did an ordinary phone call to any of them.
It’s great, just like having the person in the room :)

Aww, the sad thing abut that clip is it's the very beautiful Caron Keating,

Sorry, but it's nothing like having the person in the room. I don't know if you forget what it was like having conversations in person but watching somebody on a small screen (or a large one for that matter) is not a substitute. The danger is that more and more people will grow accustomed to it as the only means of communication and there will be no lobby movement to get the government to lift the horrendous restrictions we are currently living under. I already know of people who are perfectly happy being, metaphorically, under lock and key as they are at present and I find that extremely worrying.

Prudie, for gods sake don’t let Andy Hughes see this thread.

Well new judge, you have your opinion, I have mine.
Perhaps it’s down to the people who are FaceTiming and how they interact with each other on FaceTime. Myself and my family members spend ages just nattering away on it, no particular reason for the call, just to have a chat.

I know Zacs, that's what I was thinking :-)
