Where do I find FaceTime on the iPhone4 if the icon is not there?

Facetime is banned in the UAE. It does not exist on your phone and you can not add it. If you don't like it, complain to the government there.

If you have FT on your iPhone, you won't 'lose' it when you travel to a ME country that has FT blocked, thus foreigners/travellers won't need to "re-sync" to get FT back. iOS devices purchased there have FT blocked... it doesn't affect iOS devices not purchased there.

Correction. the Iphone 4 does come with Face Time.

he didn't say the iPhone 4 doesn't come with FaceTime - he said there is no icon for it. Which is true.

OK...I qoute the manual of iPhone4 about FT:

...

FaceTime

FaceTimevideo calls (iPhone 4) let you see as well as hear the person you’re talkingto.

You canmake a video call to someone with a device that supports FaceTime. No setup

is needed,but you must have a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. FaceTime uses the

frontcamera so the person you call can see your face, but you can switch to the main

camera toshare what you see around you.

Note: FaceTime may not be available in all countriesor regions.

Make aFaceTime call: In Contacts, choose a name, then tap FaceTime and tap the

emailaddress or phone number the person uses for FaceTime.

To callsomeone who has an iPhone 4, you can start by making a voice call, then

tapFaceTime.

If youpreviously had a FaceTime call with someone, appears on the FaceTime

button andon the email address or phone number you used.

Make a FaceTime video call

Make aFaceTime call using Voice Control: Press and hold the Home button until the

VoiceControl screen appears and you hear a beep. Then say “FaceTime,” followed by

The name ofthe person to call.

If you hada previous FaceTime video call with someone, you can make another video

call tothat person by tapping the entry for that call in Recents. PreviousFaceTime

video calls are indicated by ----FaceTime icon...

If you don't see the FT icon in the country yhat support FT, tap on "Setting"----.scroll till you fine FT..if you don't find it---> tap on "Mail, Contact....." or tap on "Phone"....go on tapping on items that related to Videocalling.

Succ6...

Just for the record, are you sure there is Face Time on you iPhone 4? Have you tried using Voice Controle? Download the App Voice Control and install it. To use Voice Control: Press and hold the home-button until the Voice Controlscreen appears and you hear a beep.

Use the following commands to make calls.

Call someone in contacts Say: - call- or -dial- then say the name of the person

Make a Face Time call to someone in contacts (iPhone4)

Say - FaceTime- then say the name of the person.

If the person has a FaceTime it will works, and hope the icon will stay on the screen.

It's worth trying...

Actually face time option is not appear on my phone

Where did you purchase your iPhone? iPhones sold in some ME countries have FT permanently disabled, i.e. no FT option.

My iPhone 4 was indeed purchased in a ME country (Kuwait I beleive) but no matter what I do here in USA I cannot get FaceTime installed.

I recently made a mistake and updates to OS 6, it wiped out my whole phone and reinstalled the OS so I lost all my videos and installed programs etc. Only thing is that my photos did not get deleted but since I live here in USA and reinstalled a fresh OS on this phone I dont understand why FaceTime still is not there?

I tried to install the 3rd party Face Time and it cannot see it at all it only shows me the FaceNow app. which is useless since I dont have a facetime to have a Favorite contact (to put it in its list)~!

I did install the 3rd party software on this phone b4 but now after OS 6 I cant even find it any more?

can some one help please.

thanks in advance!

PS this phone is unlocked and I can use it with any SIM card (comes in handy overseas) but I am on AT&T service here in Texas.(Apple said it was ATT's problem but ATT told me it was Apple's fault heh so I dont know?)

"My iPhone 4 was indeed purchased in a ME country (Kuwait I beleive) but no matter what I do here in USA I cannot get FaceTime installed."

Correct.

"I dont understand why FaceTime still is not there?"

becasue as has been explained over and over here, facetime is PERMANENTLY disbaled on iphones purchased in many kiddle eastern countries.

You cannot get facetime on your iphone.

I had this problem and what I did was go to settings then go down to general then to restrictions and then turn on FaceTime. The FaceTime option then showed in the settings menu

This is the funniest thread on the whole forum. It's been stated here by four level 6 members, one level 7 member, and one level 9 member: facetime does not and can not exist on phones bought in certain middle eastern countries. Is that not clear?

If I get an Iphone 5 from the Middle East, with no Facetime app, can I then buy it from the App Store via Macbook Pro and update it on the my phone? I have a US account on the App Store.

No. Facetime can never be added to an iPhone that came from a country where it is banned.

I bought my fone frm kuwait n its 4... as n when i updated my software de FT jus appeared in my settings...
