FaceTime and Siri are neat functions that I rarely use on my iPhone. DH and I are away from our 2.5 month baby for the first time and we just Facetimed my Mom and my LO...so cute! Not sure why I never thought about using it with my Mom-duh! 
Do you use FaceTime? Or Siri?

We Skype or Facetime! It's great because they can play on the phone-blow raspberries and peek a boo. My mom really hams it up for her. Just the voice recognition alone is exciting.

Oh, thanks for the reminder! My mom finally got an iPhone so we should try it with her since she can't seem to figure it out on her computer. Maybe it will be easier on her phone.

FaceTime has been invaluable to us when DH travels for work. Travel cell phone minutes are ridiculously expensive, so we use FaceTime to talk whenever possible when he is travelling, it has saved us hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars.

My mom just upgraded to iPhone 4S so the number of times I've used FaceTime has about tripled in the past week. She likes to FaceTime me and show me what my dad's doing, what craft she's working on for pre-school, how clean my brother's room is, the new trick the dogs learned. etc. It sounds sort of boring but I don't see my parents very often so I love it!

CONSTANTLY. I use FaceTime more than Siri. My borther and I got my mom a 4s for Christmas so she can FaceTime with us and her grandkids (We're about 5 hours from my mom. My brother is in California - she is in NY) She loves it. I usually use Siri to set reminders and to send and read texts while Im driving.

I don't have the new iphone so I can't use Siri. 
I have facetime'd with my niece and brother. I haven't done it in a while, so thanks for the reminder. I need to catch up with everyone.

I love my facetime with my mom. Especially when LO is fussy it works great. I just wish there was a way to lock the screen so she could hold the phone without hanging up!

I use both! Siri is an amazing little assistant but sometimes I wish she was just a little more helpful...sheesh!
