Signing In

To sign in to FaceTime, you need an Apple ID. If you have an iTunes Store account,
MobileMe account, or other Apple account, you can use that Apple ID with FaceTime.
If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one when you open FaceTime.

You don’t need to sign in or out every time you use FaceTime. Once you sign in, you go
straight to your contacts whenever you open FaceTime.

Sign in to FaceTime:

1

Open FaceTime, enter your Apple ID and password, then tap Sign In. If you don’t

already have an Apple account, you can tap Create New Account and set one up now.

2

On the Location screen, choose your current region and tap Next.

3

On the FaceTime screen, enter the email address others should use to call you in

FaceTime, then tap Next. If this is the first time you’ve used this address for FaceTime,
you may need to check for new email in that account and reply to the confirmation
message from Apple. (If you’ve already added the account to Mail on your iPod touch,
verification is automatic.)
Now you can choose a contact and start a FaceTime call, and others can call you using
the email address you provided. If you use more than one email address, you can add
the others as described below.

Create a new account:

1

Open FaceTime and tap Create New Account.

2

Enter your account information on the New Account screen, then tap Next. The email

address you enter will be the Apple ID for the new account.

3

On the Location screen, choose your current region and tap Next.

4

On the FaceTime screen, enter the email address you want others to use to call you,

then tap Next. This address doesn’t need to be the same as the address you entered
for your account ID, but it must be a working email address.

5

Reply to the confirmation email sent from Apple to the email address you entered in

the previous step.

If you have more than one email address, you can let people call you using any of them.
Add email addresses: Choose Settings > FaceTime, then tap Add Another Email.
Sign out: Choose Settings > FaceTime, then tap Account.

You don’t need to sign out from FaceTime—just sign in once, and open FaceTime later
without being asked to sign in again. You can’t receive FaceTime calls while you’re
signed out.
Change FaceTime settings: Choose Settings > FaceTime. See “FaceTime” on page 168.
