Hi there, there appears to be a problem with activating unlocked UK phones in other countries.

I'm afraid I don't know how to fix it though, but you may want to keep an eye on the other posts running on this forum just in case something else pops up.
As far as I'm aware it's not possible to manually activate facetime - The activation is by text message that are sent without the users knowing.
Good luck.

Please help!!!1.....I brought my Canadian unlocked back down to Boston, and am using T-Mobile USA. Well guess what? After trying activate facetime for the past 3 days, i have incurred about $6 in United Kingdom Text Message...and its still not activated.

Was that first batch of Canadian I4s actually coming from UK?? Maybe UK Refurbs, trying to pass onto Canadians? I mean, why does FT activation need to respond to a UK Text number? Why couldnt it have just been done through iTunes...Im feeling a little dissapointed in having spent all this money for this just to have now $6 of UK texting fees..and i wouldnt even mind so much if it actually activated FT, but its not even activating....:(

I have the same problem and it the second problem that I had whit iPhone 4
I send many massage to this number when I just bought the phnoe and turned it on
Hope Apple pey us back
