With this tutorial you can use your email on multiple FaceTime devices and differentiate them when they call you, it works with mobileme accounts and gmail accounts. You simply have to add a tag after the "+" sign in the email address:
For the MAC: tuemail+mac@gmail.com
For iPhone: tuemail+iphone@gmail.com
For iPad 2: tuemail+ipad@gmail.com
The labels do not have to be those exactly, they are an example, you can also putyouremail+home@gmail.com for your iPad, etc. The important thing is that you configure your Facetime account with this addition and that those who call you by facetime tell them to add it to differentiate your accounts.

I don't understand ... For example, on the mac and on the ipad the account is taken by Apple and it won't let me modify the email and on the iphone it takes me directly the phone number, I don't know how to put the account ...
Can you help me?
I can't, either, on the mac as well as on the iPhone and iPad, I do what you say and it gives me the wrong id, can you help me HELP
The article is very interesting and very useful. Until now I had an account for each iMac, macbook, iPad 2, and iPhone device. This way it is easier of course. I will try, thanks and best regards!
Well, here another one who does not understand the explanation ... we need something to explain more clearly.
Well after looking at more forums I already found what is missing to explain ...
1. You register the factime with the real email account. And you verify it if you need it.
2. You give preferences and you give account, add new account. And you put the one you want. test+mac@gmail.com and you give to verify.
And so it did.
Hello, to see I understood in the macbook, also that of the iPad, but I can not do it on my iPhone, the good thing is that if they call you to the original they all ring and if they do it to a specific one, only the device. Can someone explain to me how it goes on the iphone?
Thanks for the tutorial…. I have been wanting to do it for a long time and it has worked for me the first time
