How to get FaceTime on iPhone purchased in UAE

Hi. I had purchased an iPhone 4S in UAE , where FaceTime is probably not allowed.
Now that I am in United Kingdom, how can I get it on my iPhone ? I have restored it to factory settings but no success. Anyone with a similar experience?

You cannot, it is prohibited by law for an iPhone sold there to have the capability, and it cannot be added elsewhere.

    Not relevant. The country of purchase is the deciding factor.

  • How to get FaceTime on iPhone 4?

    Hello,
    I reside in India and have an Airtel network connection. However I bought my iPhone 4 about 2 months back from Dubai and it's running the latest iOS 4.3.5 (8L1). Unfortunately, my phone does not have FaceTime option (I have already checked Settings etc). I know FaceTime is not available in the Middle East due to its governmental regulations but as I am residing in India.....Is there any way I can download it on my phone? Please help.
    P.S. This is strange that Apple does not have the option to select iOS 4.3.5 in the drop down selection while giving further information.

    Tanu,
    Any iPhone purchased in a country in which FaceTime is prohibited will NEVER be able to get FaceTime on the phone no matter if the phone is brought to a different country. 
    Again, you will NEVER get FaceTime on your phone. 
    If this is a dealbreaker for your, you must sell your phone and purchase an iPhone in a country that permits FaceTime.

  • Hi can anyone help me how to get facetime application for iphone 4s

    Hi
    can anyone help me how to get facetime application for iphone 4s since i am not able to find it.

    FaceTime is builtin, there's no icon. Use your Contacts app and if the recipient has iPhone 4/4S, iPod Touch 4th G, iPad 2 or Mac, you can FaceTime them using Wi-Fi.

    You can't install FaceTime on devices sold in countries that  don't allow the use of this program. It is not included in the software.
    You'll have to buy a phone from a country that does not restrict the use of FaceTime. But remember that the warranty for an iPhone is only valid in the country where you bought it. In case of getting it serviced, you'll have to bring it back to that country.

  • The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

    The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)?  I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to.  Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad.  PLease help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
    You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

    Re: how to get apps for iphone 3g 4.2.1 all apps support higher version help....

    I still have an old 3G which I use mostly as a ipod/radio. By accident I found you can overide the i-tunes block.
    1. Select Apps in Apps store icon on the phone.
    2. Choose App to download
    3.  At "Instal" button press it QUICKLY in blocks of 3 presses, keep doing  this until it overides the i-tune warning, then if there were legacy  versions for os 4.2.1 it says something like "this app is for os 5 or  above", but gives you a choice to download an older version. Select  this.
    Sometimes  it says the Apps is for newer hardware, requiring motion sensors, front  camera's etc.. just got to accept these ones don't work on legacy  hardware.
    4.  Download does not work for all Apps, esp. newer ones written after os  4.21 or if the developer doesn't have the vintage apps archived- e.g.  Instagram downloads, but won't run (wants to update), or WSJ and Barrons  stalls and goes through a download loop.
    I am not making this up, as I bought this old 3g unit on e-bay, after a complete factory reset I now have:
    -  Tune-in, FB, Pandora,Skype, Twitter, Bloomberg, MSNBC, Forbes,  Marketwatch, Viber, amongst a host of other news apps like LATimes.
    Some Apps will download ok, and then at activation says its too old and no longer supported e.g Whats App.
    Otherwise,  good luck. Tune-in, Pandora, Skype and Twitter is all I need to keep me  happy with an old unit, even though I've got newer hardware. Never let  anything die unnaturally.

  • Please provide a solution to get FaceTime on iphone without jailbreaking.

    Dear Concerns,
    please provide a solution to get FaceTime on iphone without doing jail breaking.

    This is very well known that FaceTime is disabled in Middle Eastern countries and that it is the Governments that ban it and not Apple.
    Basically, you may not be using your phone in a Middle Eastern country that bans FaceTime, but your phone may have originated from a Middle Eastern Country and if this is the case there is nothing at all that you can do to get FaceTime on your phone.
    Where did you get your phone?
    You cannot get FaceTime on your phone either via updates or though the Apple store or App store or anything else for that matter.  If your phone does not have FaceTime, then you can never get it on that phone and you will have to buy a new phone if you want it.
    Also, what is this with addressing people as Concern?  This is a user to user technical support forum and NOT Apple.  We are all just user.
