FaceTime not working on deactivated iPhone

I gave my daughter my iphone 4 to use as an iPod touch. I'd like for her to be able to use facetime and imessage, but it doesn't work because my phone number is still listed in the facetime settings. Since my iphone 5 uses that same phone number to be reached by facetime, I guess that's where the problem is. So how do I fix this? is there a way. I'm not activating her phone just for this though. I'm with rogers in Canada if that changes anything.
Thanks for any help.

I have the same problem I upgrade to iPhone 5 through AT&T then after that I could not FaceTime on my iPhone 4 anymore. Apple should fix this problem immidiately! This a globally problem for Apple company, there is a billion people using iPhone 4 globally they should release an update for iPhone 4. If Steve Job still he won't let his consumer be like this.

  • Why is my facetime not working on my iphone 4s

    My facetime will call people but will never connect!

    Many users are reporting this.  Many are also reporting that updating to latest iOS version as recommended on the FaceTime troubleshooting document, has helped them to solve the issue.
    You can try the update and see if that fixes your issue.

  • TS4268 Iphone 4 (Verizon) version 6.1.3 - FaceTime not working

    Hi, I have an issue with facetime not working on my iphone 4.  It worked fine until a few weeks ago.  I have done a "soft restart" (power & home button) on the iphone. I have signed out of facetime and imesage, and then signed back in. I have checked the settings, and everything looks like it's right.  The phone number has a checkmark next to it, but is greyed out under "You can be reached by FaceTime at:", but I read that it's normal. The imessage works fine.  I do have an ipad air on the same apple ID, could that be it? but it was fine before.  I just got the iphone 4 replaced at the Apple store via warranty, because the front facing camera was acting up.  What else can I check? What else can be wrong? I do not want to update to the IOS 7.1, because the Iphone 4 will lag in IOS 7.1 update.

    There have been a large number of recent reports in the last few days regarding FaceTime. Here is one discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6096640?tstart=0
    Note that there are several mentions of the iOS version but many are also reporting the problem even after updating.

    FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts.  When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically.   When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail.  I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone.  I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.
    Please advise.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again.

  • My apple ID is not working on my iPhone

    My Apple ID is not working on my iPhone.  Help! 

    It depends on how you set up your phone.  You can have different Apple IDs for different services; you ID for purchasing can be different that the one you use for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
    If you have only one ID for all of these and you have now changed it, you need to make these changes on your phone.  To change the ID you use for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores you go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores (or just Settings>Store in iOS 5), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the changed ID and/or password.  To change the ID for iMessage you go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (or Settings>Messages>Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with the changes.  Same for FaceTime by going to Settings>FaceTime.
    To a different ID for iCloud your go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.

  • TS3367 Facetime not connecting for ios7 (iphone 5)

    Facetime is not working from between my iphone 5 (ios7) and an ipad running ios 7 for last 4-5 days 
    It keeps saying "Connecting" for a few seconds and the call fails right after that.  What is the reason for this? 
    More importantly what is the fix for this?
    I have seen lots of discussion threads talking about facetime not working for ios6 users, but this is true for my ios 7 devices!  Please help!!

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

    iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code.  It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30.  When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19.  I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem.  I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working.  Works fine on my iPhone.

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

    My transparency does not work on my iPhone and I was wondering how I fix that? It worked when I first downloaded ios7 but not now.

    Hello wilsontot_too,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone.  It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone.  It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
    I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

  • My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    Well, it can be fixed, however it is in a very difficult spot, and it may cost me more to replace than what I can get out of it. I don't care to pay for a replacement since my warranty is up, because I already have an iPhone 5. I want to sell the iPhone4, and not for $75 either because you can't make a phone call unless its on speaker. I didn't know what other people had to say, so I just wanted some feedback on my options. I'm sorry that I am not an expert on the iPhone hardware componets, because I actually work for a living. I don't have time to sit here and play on forums. Thanks for all you're help.
