Facetime stopped working all of a sudden

Wanted to call with one of my friends, who lives in Europe (I’m living in Asia) and it didn’t work, we’ve been calling without problems before, but now it suddenly just shows his profile picture and the contact name whenever I answer the call. I’ve updated my Iphone to the latest IOS and i’ve tried restarting my network settings. Facetime just stopped working, help would be appreciated. Iphone 12 running IOS 16.3.1


Picture above showing the thing that happens when I answer


Thank you

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Wondering if your friend has an Apple device (ie: you both can use wi-fi to FaceTime ok)

or

Whether your friend may be using a non-Apple device ... (you would need to use cellular .. ie: turn on in settings ... data plan charges may apply).

Use cellular data on your iPhone or iPad


And:

There's also a new way to send an online link to someone with a non-Apple device, so they can communicate with you online.


In the article (link) below:

Scroll to:

"Create a link to a FaceTime call

With iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and later, you can create a link to a FaceTime call and send the link to others using Messages or Mail. They can use the link to join or initiate a call".

Hope this helps :-)

You're welcome francesxocp12!

Thank you for replying, and letting us know a little more about the situation.


Sorry nothing has worked to restore FaceTime contact with your friend.

As you say, it could have something to do with your iPhone carrier.


More Support:


Apple Support have a FaceTime Support Webpage online (link below):

There is a "Get Support" link (online chat, phone, eMail etc) at the bottom.
