That article is confusing to me.

Reading that article, I can't tell what they're talking about.

We all already know that VOIP exists on Android, where that article lists
the following VOIP "alternatives" to facetime.
1 google hangouts
2 skype
3 viber
4 tango 
5 ooVoo
6 line
7 snapchat
8 facebook messenger 

Reading the article, I don't see how any of these solve the initial
question.

That VOIP exists was never was the question (so we can just assume that and
not say it anymore).

The question was how to make and receive from Android calls to and from an
iOS user on Facetime.

In that confusing article, when they say 'facetime', they seem to mean
"video calls" which we already know exist in droves on Android but which
aren't the question.

When they say 'facetime replacement', again, it's confusing because they
mean to use instead of facetime, which isn't the question.

That article discussed
1 google hangouts
2 skype
3 viber
4 tango
5 ooVoo

None seem to interface to Facetime.

I do thank you for the search but I already ran searches and I already know
about all the "alternative" solutions. 

But what I'm asking for is a gateway or tunnel into Facetime from Android.
Does that exist yet?
