Tired of low-quality cell phone calls? Thanks to FaceTime, you can make audio-only calls with crystal-clear high-resolution sound using an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac. Here’s how to do it.
Why FaceTime Audio?
Most people think of FaceTime as a video chat service, but it also supports audio calls that operate like regular telephone calls. Your device’s video camera is not used, and it stays off during the call.
FaceTime Audio is a great alternative to regular telephone calls because it uses the internet to place free calls with crystal-clear high-definition audio compared to a regular telephone call. Since it’s an internet call, your Apple device can take advantage of the extra bandwidth to make the call sound much better. The only requirement is that both ends of the call own Apple devices that support FaceTime, which includes iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, and Macs.
