    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.

    Hi,

     

    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.
