Check Settings>FaceTime>On and Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime>ON. On the 4 & 4S FaceTime is accessed through contacts.  Go into your Contacts, access the contact you want to FaceTime with and you will see a tab at the bottom of their contact card.  You can also access FaceTime by going into your Phone app, select dialling keypad, dial number, press call and an option for FaceTime on the keypad will appear.   It should be noted that FaceTime has been removed from iPhones sold in some Middle Eastern countries at the express wish of the respective Governments.  This article may also be helpful http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319.

    I could not follow the AT&T instruction because my network (Optus) doesn't have anything as username or password or dial-up phone number. The only parameter I needed to key into Mobilink (the software I am running on the S10 is the APN which is:    connectme    that's it no number, no PIN, no password, nothing else.
    How do I tell Windows to do that?

    If you are in the UK:
    Please upgrade your plan to Web n Walk plus. One of our users on T-Mobile UK had this to report back to us:
    T-Mobile UK are in fact port blocking to ensure fair usage on their base Web and Walk Plan. I have upgraded to Web and Walk Plus and as a result the port blocks are lifted and I get a higher data allowance!
    We were also recently contacted by T-Mobile UK, who stated the following:
    Any smart phone (iphone, android etc) that is bought directly from T-Mobile should be automatically provisioned with Web n Walk plus, if customers have bought a handset sim free then they will need to call customer services and get this added. It is free of charge for most price plans (including new plans) but some older plans will generate a charge of £5pm for this.

  • No service after iPhone 3GS Factory Unlock. (This phone has NOT been jailbroken)

    Hi
    I would be greatful of any advice for my problem. I have bought an iPhone 3GS from my friend who had it locked to O2. She has had it since new and never jailbroken it.
    I have just got it factory unlocked and also have not jalibroken the phone. When I restored the phone I got the congratulatory message on iTunes, and it shows the correct phone number for the SIM I want to use and the carrier listed in Settings>General>About is now correct too.
    I am now receiving no signal whatsoever. I have tried restoring network settings, restoring the whole phone again, toggling airplane mode, removing the sim and reinserting when off/ on etc and nothing is changing. Whenever I put my SIM my old phone, it's picking up signal absolutely fine.
    If anyone has any other advice, I would be very grateful.
    Thank you.

    If the Unlock was NOT done through O2...  then that would be the cause of your issue.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    You'd only get that message if iOS 7.0 Beta was installed on this phone. There is no fix. Either return the phone for a refund, or give it back to your boyfriend & have him get it fixed.

    What does Factory Unlocked International Version GSM Only? what's the difference from other iphon5 specs? pls explain

    Only GSM/LTE iPhones can be purchased unlocked. CDMA iPhones are always locked to their specific carrier for CDMA use, though some may either have the GSM portion unlocked or will unlock upon request assuming any necessary requirements are met.
    Regards.

    Contact that someone else to have them delete their account.
    The previous owner needs to do this:
    Prepare your device to sell or give away
    There is no workaround for Activation Lock.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
