Having zero Luck with this so far. Both me and my wife have new IP4's and are both on O2. Currently we are both in the office connected via wifi but can't make face time work at all. Both phones just bleep away saying...connecting... there seems to be no way to actually take the call.
hmm
I see that the facetime button on the call screen has a ? in it too.

Try calling apples face time test line, 866 FACETIME, is the number I think.

A number of the reviews I've read say Facetime is problematic on business/corporate wifi, likely due to firewall and/or NAT configurations more common to business security setups.

To confirm what Cold Warrior says, a number of my friends on corporate networks here either can't get FaceTime to work or are required to log into their corporate VPN to make it work. Try calling Apple and if that doesn't work, I'm betting it is your workplace network settings.

We tried it here in our corporate wifi network and it worked fine. Our network is horribly slow, so the video was a bit choppy, but it worked just fine.

A wifi only service that doesn't work with NAT?

To be fair to Apple, they are using a lot of techniques to ensure NAT traversal, such as STUN and TURN, but business setups may be doing more than a lot of consumer-side configs to kill this sort of network activity.

Hah! Nice Facetime.
What tops off that image is the no signal in the upper left. Nice!

Sorry, normally I pay attention to details but I did this at work with GIMP in two minutes and I didn't find a good picture of iPhone 4/facetime which was easily 'shoppable (odd angle)
