Q: FaceTime missing from iPhone 5?

I've heard that the iPhone 5 is supposed to have FaceTime. Mine was just delivered today. I've set it up and noticed that the FaceTime icon simply does not exist. Is there something I am missing? How do I make it appear. I even asked Siri and it said "It doesn't look like you have an app named "FaceTime".

iPhone 5, iOS 6, FaceTime

    FaceTime app on the iPod touch/iPad 2 is actually a lowered Phone app. iPhone doesn't have FaceTime app; it already has the Phone app. iPod touch/iPad don't have Phone app so Apple gave them FaceTime purposes; however, if you go to your contacts, you will be able to use FaceTime if you click on the contact and then select FaceTime from that menu.

    I Just bought two iPhones here in dubai and I do have face time in contact. I bought from different shop that sold american iPhone or ipad I have 2 ipad2 and 2 mini ipad and 2 iPhone and they all have face time. but I'm sure they blocked it but its ok because I would like to use it when I get home. in the other store yes I already confirm that they don't sell iPhone with face time that's why I stick with one shop only cuz they're the only one sold iPhone with face time here in Dubai..

    Um... Do you realize that the original question was posted almost a year ago? And that it's already been answered?

    It appears as though they're suggesting you call apple support...

    Hey everyone - OP here. Just FYI - this problem has been fixed in the new IOS 7. The Facetime app icon appeared for me automatically, right after updating. Better late than never!

    Yes, a FT app was added in iOS 7. It is not a "fix" as nothing was broken before. It is one of a number of interface changes in iOS 7.

    SMH. Facepalm. Sigh. Nothing of course, EXCEPT the OS.

    Anyways, we are all so very glad that Apple fixed their horrible mistake! Now that this crippling issue is resolved, their bungling, bumbling designers can once again show their faces in public without feeling such intense shame and anquish over this utter fiasco! It took them only 1 year to unequivocally realize that, YES, there should absolutely, clearly, be a Facetime App on the iPhone and fix it. Since they've repaired that which was not broken, and  the "whoops", or "oopsie!" if you will, incident has now been corrected, we can all finally enjoy an experience that is blissfully free from  "errors" or "bugs" or "glitches" (like them forgetting to put the FT app in one of their devices)!

    You're not doing anything except make yourself look like a fool.

     

    I would say quit while you're ahead, but it's far too late for that.

    What's with the random use of bold, bold italic and underline? Looks like pretty poor design to me.
