Enable FaceTime on iPhone 3GS with FaceIt via Cydia

Another day, and another new tweak for the iPhone 3GS. Earlier in the week we profiled how you can enable 720P HD video on your 3GS. Now, you can have a semi-FaceTime experience via a new Cydia tweak called FaceIt, from iPhoneIslam.com.

This free tweak will enable your iPhone 3GS to receive FaceTime calls and have audio only. If both parties have My3G installed, you can have free voice calls over 3G (or you can download the free NetTalk app).

Here’s how to install FaceIt to enable FaceTime on your iPhone 3GS:

As always, use with caution when it comes to these tweaks. Users are reporting of freezing issues with this, and even restores. I would wait for an update to this tweak, or just skip it.

1. Add the source http://apps.iphoneislam.com to Cydia
2. After the sources refresh, search for FaceIt and install. Reboot your 3GS.
3. Your iPhone 3GS on 4.1 will now be able to accept FaceTime calls.


Video demo below:

My 3GS says waiting for activation… not sure this works and it seems to be one-way only,

I have not yet managed to restore since I also need a jailbreak and unlock. Any help would be appreciated!

Create a custom restore with either PwnageTool 4.1 or redsn0w. That will jailbreak and preserve your unlock.

Yeah, I had no choice to restore from my custom ipsw and re-sync everything from a back-up 🙁
This tweak is imo immature to use. Be warned.

I agree, but as with all 3rd party tweaks it’s really ‘use at our own risk’ and do your research. You shouldn’t have webmasters holding your hand all the time. But yeah, an update would’ve been nice.

Same shit… It also doesn’t see itself as installed in Cydia and their repo when u’r trying to check it again! Good idea but very bad job – looks like pre-alpha version! Be aware of it at least they will make that job stable!!

Hey turn off face time go to your settings and chose reset all settings. Then turn ur iPhone on then off. And then turn FaceTime back on. If your on tmobile look for updated cellular data settings.
