For various reasons I'm considering moving from O2 to 3.
However it appears that 3 charge 51p per minute for video (FaceTime) calls. Although they are unsure whether they even support the feature.
I would have thought that this was included in the data plan.
And, as a non phone technical person. If I'm at home and have a 3G signal, will the phone automatically route via WiFi (non chargeable) i.e how does it know?
Currently everything goes via WiFi as I do not get a mobile signal at home - hence the potential to change supper.
Anyone on 3 use FaceTime - what are your experiences?

FaceTime is a proprietary system developed by Apple that routes data over an internet connection.
It's not possible to use it over a 3G network unless you:
a) Have an iPhone 4S or 5
b) Have iOS 6.0 installed (released Wednesday - 19th September)
It will simply use your data allowance, so there's no specific cost for using it.
