How To Enable FaceTime Over 3G In iOS 5 [Need Jailbreak But No Third Party App Required]

iOS native FaceTime feature has become one of the must have feature which allows you to make video calls without using any third party software. But since it’s launch back in 2o1o, Apple didn’t allow users to make FaceTime calls over 3G network rather it was only available on WiFi Network. However, Jailbreak community came up with a smart tweak called My3G which tricks the iPhone 4 into thinking that user is connected via WiFi network when actually the user is using 3G Network by his respective operator.

However, folks over FSM  have been able to discover native iOS 5 hidden feature which allow users to make FaceTime calls over 3G Network.
