Jan 18, 2013 8:27 AM in response to milindsaraswalaby yonders,What milindsaraswal wrote helps; but for the lucky ones like me, you should have an international version of the iPad which has Facetime & iMessage installed.
I have a feeling that the iPad Mini sold exclusively for the UAE do not have Facetime & iMessage pre-installed; I have not seen any of these, so am not sure.

I had the same thing.
I just creat another ID apple and I use it only on the imessage. And it works.
Try it, or do the thing with the address, I read that some people manage that way.
