Calls default to Facetime I have a contact with one cell phone number saved in my contacts as a "mobile" and not "iPhone". When I press call, it defaults to Facetime I have other contacts with multiple numbers. One is saved as "iPhone" and the other number is saved as "mobile". When I press call for this contact, it gives me the option to pick which phone number to call, "mobile", "iPhone", or "Facetime". If I click one of the phone numbers, it calls that number. Why does someone with only one number in my contacts default to Facetime? I tried turning off Facetime but that creates a whole other set of issues. I don't want to Facetime = EVER!

FaceTime not switching from email to phone number on iPhone I have been having people FaceTime me but i am not getting the calls because my receiver is set to my email. When i go into settings to switch from my email to my number and I select my number, it has a loading sign next to the number option that doesn’t stop. How do i get it to change?

I get that but there should be a way so as to not instantly start calling it.

At least a prompt before calling.

As clicking on a phone number is how one makes calls, I don't think there is a way of stopping that.
