General
FaceTime is iChat AV for iPhone. Jobs presented an "alphabet soup" of technologies that were involved in making FaceTime work, many of which are shared with iChat AV, including:
- H.264 and AAC, its ISO/MPEG video and audio codecs (just like iChat).
- SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), the open IETF signaling protocol for VoIP used by iChat AV.
- STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT), an IETF standard for dealing with lots of different kinds of NAT.
- TURN (Traversal Using Relay NAT), an IETF standard for allowing a client behind NAT to receive incoming requests like a server.
- ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) an IETF standard which helps set up connections through NAT firewalls.
- RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), an iETF standard for delivering media streams in VoIP.
- SRTP (Secure RTP) an IETF standard designed to provide encryption, message authentication and integrity for the data streams.
FaceTime uses Port 53, 80, 443, 4080, 5223, and 16393-16472 (UDP).
Activation
It seems to activate FaceTime a couple of SMS text messages are sent in the background between the phone and a Apple server. Not all international cellular networks are passing those messages along.
What has been found out so far, once you switch Facetime on for the first time, with a sim in and the phone activated. Facetime from the phone end sends a "silent text message" (ie a text you don't know about), to Apple, that registers your telephone number on the Apple server/s used for Facetime. Apple then returns a "silent coded text" to your phone, that activates the software within OSI4.
Then facetime becomes a completely wifi operation, but just like phone activation, where you need a sim card to activate the phone, you need to exchange two text messages (unknowlingly) before Facetime will work.
It seems that the issue is either Apple or not receiving the activation text from the phone, or the end user is not receiving the text from Apple in return enabling the software.

- The phones communicates to a server at Apple (17.155.5.251 is what I saw). Communication is sourced from port 16402 via UDP initially and then looks to dynamically allocate ports for communication (16385 and 16386 are what appeared on my end).
Packets 11 – 101
- The phone then negotiates an HTTPS connection to the servers at Apple for the setup and communication. There also seems to be some communication to other servers (in this case i see RCN 208.59.216.10) – and they are my cable provider.
Packets 102 – 123
- After Client (iPhone) and server negotiation you start to see Stun requests via the private IPs, after they fail you see them from the Public IP NAT ranges. They success via the Public peering at that point.
Packets 124 – 160
- A SIP call is then initiated between the phones for the video portion of the call
