I have looked all over for a way to do FaceTime on my iPhone when a WiFi connection isn’t available or breaking out a laptop and setting up a WiFi connection using a broadband card, but the only way I found was to jailbreak the phone, which I’d rather not do that due to the fact that almost everytime a new update comes out, you have to do it all over again, re-install all your apps, and it’s just a big pain.

My solution is to purchase the Novatel Wireless MiFi 2372 and use that to connect using FaceTime from my phone. FaceTime is not my only reason for the MiFi, it is also great if you have the WiFi only version of the iPad and again, do not want to jailbreak your iPhone to use as a wireless router, you can use the MiFi to connect all of them as well as laptop without having to use the iPhone tethering.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone else as well.
