    Hi Allan, can you explain exactly what you mean by;

    "In order to sell iPhones in Qatar, Apple has to defeat FaceTime within the iPhone and that can't be undone."

    - Because FT does work in Qatar!

    - and for me it works in every other country when my Qatar SIM card is in the phone!

    - It just doesn't work with my 3UK SIM card in the phone - the APP VANISHES!

    Are you saying that the FT APP is installed on the Qatar SIM card instead of on the phone or something???

    I'm extremely frustrated, I specifically bought an unlocked A1524 iPhone 6+ model in Qatar (after extensive research and speaking with people in the Applestore in Houston and Regents Street, believing all features would work with a UK SIM card, as advertised. Have I been miss-sold?  how can this bug be fixed? I require and want FaceTime when using a UK sim in my phone - not just when I have a Qatari SIM card in it - Please cam you suggest a work around? Thanks in advance.

    Note- FaceTime may not be available, or may become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Check your device's region of purchase for more information. http-//support.apple.com/kb/HT1937.

     

    It is based on where the phone was purchased.
