Why FaceTime is not working in UAE
How can I use it there? Is there anyway to install it
Or it has to do with the network functionality and no work arounds can be done
LOL.... 😁

Guys with all respect I bought iPhone from etisalat an now
I am not there , and suddenly FaceTime appeared in my settings and I
Activated
So what you saying is not accurate
Actually we all get the same software updates thru iTunes
And this functionality has to do with software I think
And can be blocked in some networks and allowed in others
You might just have to explain that to the OP .........................😁
What is OP
Original poster
It is me , I am the OP
For that, I am asking of anyone knows any possible way
To use it in UAE
If you have all the answers ,as you seem to claim to have ,why are you posting here
To use it in UAE
For the final time FaceTime will not work in UAE
We can not help you break the laws of the UAE.
The phone hardware that you have was coded to UAE and it CANNOT have facetime ever on it. I don't care what you saw on your phone but it will not ever work as has been explained many times in this thread. You just refuse to listen.
The UAE’s Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) restricts access to portions of the web as well as person-to-person video communication such as Apple’s FaceTime. This is not controlled on the handset but rather via the country’s carriers. Any IP address originating in the UAE is subject to this censorship, which explains why you can’t establish the connection with your daughter.
Probably can't see the web page to this link either.

If you know a VPN thats not block by the TRA maybe you can try to use Facetime that way, It a theroy but I don't know if its been tested.
It seems, I am annoying some of u here but what I wanted to know
A way to use it( not to break any laws ) and I was not claiming I know how to do it
I just wanted to get some useful information
Which I believe sadboy1978 helped me with
Thanks to all of u
It won't work. Facetime is locked off in the iPhone's hardware when the iPhone has been sold by the official UAE resellers.
it also bears mentioning that iPhones sold in countries in the Middle East where facetime is NOT banned may have facetime disabled if they are used on a carrier from a country other than the one where they were originally sold.
It seems that you are unable to understand what you have been told and yes, that continued difficulty in accepting the answers is be coming annoying.
For the final time, you cannot activate Facetime on an iPhone or other iOS device sold officially in the UAE. It cannot be done, period, no matter what other speculation or guesswork anyone else may offer.
There is nothing more anyone can tell you. You wil have to sell your UAE iPhone and buy one from another country, or use a different service such as Skype.
