I use Skype for this. Skype is available on any Windows desktop, Windows 8 Metro, and iPhone as well. This works for me.

If memory serves me, I believe Skype is available for both iOS and for Windows. But I have heard nasty comments made about Skype.<br />
I take it there is no way to run FaceTime for PC (although I have seen info that suggests the contrary).<br />

Downloaded what was supposed to be FaceTime for PC (Windows). It does not install; claiming I need something called &quot;Blue...&quot;.<br />
I get the impression &quot;Facetime for Windows&quot; is not available.<br />
I would have loved to use Facetime on my laptop, to talk to my daughter.<br />

Facetime for Windows PC

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.
