no face time !!!!!

Siri has been banned in your country. It can not be installed or activated.

Blame your ignorant government for that. They banned facetime and Siri because they are too backwards.

They aren't too backwards, they are repressive.

I presume you mean to say that Facetime has been banned in the SA and UAE, as it has.

Yes indeed. That should teach me to not reply without proof reading, especially on the iPhone screen. Thanks for the catch.

The problem may be with your carrier. Check with them to see if FaceTime is allowed under your current plan.

No. The problem is that FaceTime is banned by law in KSA, UAE and Qatar and it has been permanently removed from phones sold in those markets.

Do you even bother to read before you post?

Stedman - as a matter of fact, I did miss the phrase "it cannot be installed or activated." Is that any reason to be obnoxious?

Your second statement is much harder to miss and much clearer "The problem is that FaceTime is banned by law in KSA, UAE and Qatar and it has been permanently removed from phones sold in those markets."

Uh? Please point out where I or anyone else in this post was obnoxious.

I guess you don't think it's obnoxious to say "Do you even bother to read before you post?" You may be right, though. It may be arrogant rather than obnoxious, though I think arrogance is obnoxious. In any case, it was most definitely not polite or helpful.

Again, please point out where I wrote that statement.

Here is the KB article from Apple about FaceTime on iOS.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367

Under "Missing FaceTime App" it will explain the following.

If FaceTime is not available in Settings: Note that FaceTime may not be available on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
