How to Activate Facetime for iPhone 2G 3G 3GS & call iPhone 4 users

FaceTime is one real good reason for which you should buy the Apple iPhone 4 because this feature would allow you to talk to your friends in real rather than the voice or text based chats. The problem with the iPhone 3GS owners is that they cannot enjoy this feature as this is limited to only the latest handset and since the 3GS does not have front facing camera you cannot even try this out.

There is a new option available which is limited to the jailbroken iphones and only to cydia users. Called as the FaceIt-3GS application which is available for free, is going to allow you to enjoy limited functionability based service. The camera would work only on one way which means that you would be able to view your friends face on your 3GS while the call is being made but your friend with iPhone 4 won’t be able to see your face as you don’t have a front camera.

You need to access the Cydia App and search for ‘FaceIt-3GS’ under the search option and then install the application. The quick procedure is listed below :

1. Open Cydia
