Who I have the same questioned this topic

I am a little dismayed.  Apple's website says FaceTime will not use cellular minutes since it is strictly a WiFi feature.  MacWorld states the exact same thing, as do many other sites.  I called Verizon TWICE to confirm this.  Each time, the Verizon rep told me they had never been asked that questions before.  After being put on hold by both, the both came back with the same answer:

FACETIME USES MINUTES AND DATA!

This is something everyone that does NOT have an unlimited plan needs to be aware of.  I have unlimited data but NOT unlimited minutes.  

I don't understand why Verizon is charging for this when it's a WiFi feature only.
