    Hi - just wondering how you guys are finding Facetime Audio? I used it the other evening over 3G (surprised it worked ) and the quality was good. Over Wifi it was very good .

    I'm currently visiting Lanzarote and have used FaceTime Audio a few times to ring home. The audio is slightly different and you are aware that it's not the same as a normal phone call, but the calls have been flawless and without any dropout. Very impressed so far.

    I was on Meteors network, discovered it worked by accident. I had thought it was only restricted to wifi. Still, nice that it works :)

    The quality is so much better than voice calls as we can shove more into a data packet than a voice packet.

    The only problem with FaceTime audio is it's not transparent to me like iMessage is. Like apple doesn't just automatically switch me to using FaceTime audio

    Does FaceTime audio work on all iOS 7 devices?

    They didn't integrate it better on purpose. It will piss off every single carrier and cannibalise their ARPU just like iMessage did. No carriers, mean less sales for apple.
