Factime not connecting with new overseas phone number

Hi,
Using an iphone 4S running 7.1.1
I am in asia for a year or two and just changed from an unlocked Verizon SIM card to a local GSM SIM card and new phone number. For some reason, Facetime won't connect.  It rings, begins the connection, then fails after a few seconds. Either when I dial out or someone calls me.
Mail works, WhatsApp works. So data over wifi is working. And Maps is working, so 3G is fine in the street.
Facetime was working fine yesterday when I was still using the Verizon SIM card and the old number, so I have that baseline.
Also, under Settings/FaceTime/You Can Be Reached by FaceTime At    the phone number (an asian phone number that includes the country code) is checked but grayed out, I'm guessing it has something to do with this but I don't know how to resolve it.
Any ideas?

Update to Post:  tried a phone call to the same US number and it works just fine.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Time machine not connecting with new time capsule

    Will someone please help? I have just recently joined the MAC family and purchased a new Macbook along with a new time capsule. It took unbelievably long to get things running (ie wireless access with 2 other PC based desktops and a PC laptop and shared network printing with an USB connected printer to the time capsule)- I thought macs were supposed to be easy?! Anyways, the only thing that I cannot figure out is how to properly set up time machine. I follow the instructions and turn time machine on, choose my backup disc (which is the time capsule), but when I click "use for backup", I keep getting the "connection failed- server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again" What am I supposed to do now? What is there to check when all of the other computers are able to access the internet (including the Macbook) and wirelessly print. The stupid timecapsule router function is working but the backup portion of it is not???!!!! Please help someone who is about to give the mac and the time capsule to the first person walking down the street - it has been a frustrating 2 days.

    First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click
              Renew DHCP lease.
    Try again to back up.
    If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.

  • Wifi will not connect with new ios 7 update

    I just downloaded the new ios7 on my ipad mini. I cannot connect to wifi now. It will not find a network and will not work when I type it in. I have tried shuting it down.

    I have tried everything as well.  I hard reset but still nothing.  When I try to erase and reinstall it won't let me because it says no internet connection.  If I knew there would be this many problems I would not have bothered with the update.  Hopefully someone has some insight and help.

  • I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

    I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?

    To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
    Open a new Finder Window
    Click "Go" in the above status bar
    Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
    Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
    Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
    Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
    Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
    Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
    Drag the files to the trash
    Delete the trash
    Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
    Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
    This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
    Good Luck.

    Hi, stig2013. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Why is my apple id not connected with my phone's mail

    My Apple ID, is not connected to my cell phone's (iPhone 5c) mail, why?

    A "normal" iTunes Store Apple ID/Account does NOT allow you to  upload to the store.
    iTunes Producer looks for you registered  book sellers ID
    Have you actually opened a book sellers account with  Apple?
    Have you opened an iTunes Connect Account?
    If the answers are no... https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/wa/bookSignup
    Open the link and click on Get Started > select the  free or paid book account and proceed through the sign up process.
    Its advisable to use a different username/PW and email for a book sellers account and if you  intend to  have free and paid books, you will need separate accounts?IDs
    You will be asked for your  website URL ( address) if you dont have a website... Facebook is a ready answer.   Apple sees this as a "Support" contact path.
    If you want to sell books, you will also need an EIN  number from the US tax
    If you have  done all this and still have problems,  you first need to check and confirm all  your details are correct.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

  • My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

    My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

  • IPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

    I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
    I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
    One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
    If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
    I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
    As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
    DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
    The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

  • Why will my I phone not connect with my IMac it pairs?

    Why will my I Phone not connect with my IMAC it pairs?

    Since you use the work "pairs", I must assume you're talking about bluetooth.
    Unless you're trying to use the personal hotspot to tether the computer to the phone, you can't do that...
    You can only use bluetooth with a computer for tethering.  Bluetooth file sharing is not supported. Neither is bluetooth sync.
