THis is the only aricle i found in the terms and conditions and it diesn't include the mobile numbers ir emails submission

so yes you are correct, there is no problem of being wrong or ignorant, no one knows it all.
there is also another article about being polite when pisting an answer or a comment i advise u to read it, it is always a good reminder.
So, you are ok with spam harvesters and approximately 12 million ASC users having your phone number and email address? You must be a spammers dream target.
This is an issue you need to take up with your government. They are the ones that have restricted FaceTime.
Well, I said it was not correct, i should have thinked outbefore doing it even if it was not a rule
i am also sure that members if apple communities are not spammers and they are more keen to get answers and benefit rather than spamming a useless phone number
Spam address harvesters don't need to be members of ASC. The addresses are harvested without human intervention. However, it is your privacy, so you are welcome to display your contact info as you wish.
Thanks god that apple has such editing function to help us protect our privacy
Most people aren't as willing to display their contact info, and are grateful for an effort to correct an oversight. You, apparently aren't one of this people. So be it.
I Am sure there is one if the terms and conditions of the community about judging others same as the one if being polite
Let us stop this here it is not a big deal to ralk about and waste time.
Hello Guys,
let me inform my experience for 2 friends bought their i Phones officially from Apple Dubai, they can't use Face-time, but they can use i Message normally in Dubai, then when they get back to Egypt using VF the Face-time icon appeared and working normally.
Technically it depends on Carrier Profile installed while activating your SIM, so that local providers can enable or disable some features related to the connectivity they are providing 🙂
I'm going to buy one and using it in Egypt as well 🙂
thanks.
Hi, I know I'm jacking an old thread here, but did you talked to Apple Support first before activating the FaceTime?
I am asking this because I do not know how to say it to my network provider as the representative that I talked to doesn't understand "Carrier Updates". I've talked to Apple Support and they said that that's the only chance to have FaceTime - via Carrier Update.
The FaceTime delete is encoded in the phone itself in relation to the serial numbers for UAE, but a Carrier Update that contains an "AllowVoIP Set to On" setting can override it. How did you explain this to your network provider?
Hi Adham,
can you provide me with your phone model? you will find it in Settings>General>About
it will end with *****/A
