The KSA ban on FaceTime ended ~five years ago.


Whether a carrier accepts a phone on its network is up to that particular carrier.


Whether the carrier supports FaceTime over cellular is also up to the carrier:

Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone in the Middle East and India - Apple Support

(None in KSA list support for FaceTime over cellular.)


The iPhone warranty is not international, at at the discretion of Apple.
