Can you call FaceTime on an iPad?

[Microman]

Or is the call only initiated by the iPad to the iPhone?

Isn't Face Time on an iPad done over iMessage?
Edit: No, I see it has its own icon. I do not do FT on my iPad, but the link below tells how to do FT on all devices that support it.

This should help

If you are asking if you can Facetime from an iPad to another iPad, the answer is yes.

You can also Facetime from an iPad to a computer running Facetime, or to an iPhone running it. Not sure if iPods have Facetime, but if they do, I'd assume it would work with them, as well.

Sure. I do it all the time. You have to have the same AppleID set under Facetime in Settings.

You can also have multiple email addresses associated with an AppleID. When my mother tries to call via FaceTime my MacMini, MacBook, iPhone, and iPad all ring. I can answer from any of them, the rest will show 'Missed Call fom...'.

I have multiple email addresses set so that no matter how people know how to contact me, they can. Phone number, 4 personal email addresses(there is a method to the madness with all my email addresses), work email address, AppleID...

On each iOS device go to Settings / Facetime. In the section 'You can be reached by facetime at:' select 'Add Another Email.

This will associate other email addresses with your AppleID so that multiple email addresses will connect to a single AppleID.

There's always GoogleVoice. Google does have a video option.

It's any-to-any.

FaceTime provides good video quality and excellent audio quality for FaceTime audio-only calls.

I believe that you can only call one person at a time from an iPad but can have a conference call if you make the contact from a Mac. But then I am not using iOS7.

If you have an iPad with iOS 6 and the iPad is able to run iOS 7, then you must update to iOS 7. There is a bug that prevents FaceTime connecting after April 16 2014. Apple fixed this in iOS 7 and 6.1.6, but devices able to run iOS 7 do not get the 6.1.6 update, you need to jump from 6.1.4 to 7 to get FaceTime running again.

I have an iPad 4 with 6.1.4 and I do not want to update to 7 which I do not like. No FaceTime possible on that iPad. Same story with wife's iPhone 5. I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and FaceTime work again but I would rather give up FaceTime and stay with 6.1.4 if I could.
