It may be more convenient for the other party, if they don't have Skype or don't have a computer but there's a hotspot to use FaceTime. It's a good alternative and if it's this easy for the party w/ a computer than it might be the more practical option if you want to video chat.

It'll work, but at an extra $15 a month for an even more inconvenient way of FaceTime... I'll wait for the jailbreak. I want my iBlacklist back too.
