I have a iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4 but I can use my 3G connection for FaceTime

Hi
I have a iPhone 5 and I have used FaceTime over my 3G connection in the past but all of a sudden when I try to make a FaceTime call while connected to my 3G I just get a blank screen. I have contacted my carrier (vodafone) who advised me that they support FaceTime over a 3G connection and assured me that there are no blocks or restrictions on my account at their end. I have also replaced my SIM card with a brand new one but the issue still remains.
I have tried resetting my phone and restoring it to factory setting but this hasn't solved the problem. I have a iPad 3 which is running on iOS 6.1.3 which can make FaceTime calls when connected to a 3G connection but my iPhone wont allow me is this something to do with the different iOS's my iPhone 5 is running on iOS 6.1.4.
This is really frustrating so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

FaceTime:
Check Settings>FaceTime>ON and check Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime>ON. There is no icon, 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.
iMessage:
Check Settings>Messages>iMessage>ON. The icon is the same as your SMS icon. This support document will explain how to use iMessage http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

I have an iPhone 5 (iOs 6.0.2) and I can't use wifi or backup

Hi!
So, I have an iphone 5 with the latest firmware but I still can't connect to a wifi network here at home. It's protected with WPA2 personal and needs a password. I KNOW I type the password correctly but every time it says that it is wrong. I have googled for days and everything i try isn't working. Adding to the problems is that I can't backup the phone. It just says that an error occurred (no error code or anything). This is seriously annoying and I want help. Please, if someone knows what to do, tell me!

I have the exact same problem. It started as soon as I updated to 6.0.1. I could connect to any previous network that I had input the password in but now it won't connect to any new networks.
As I have reset the network settings per an Apple Rep, I have lost the ability to connect to any wifi network. Great. Can't back up, constantly using data.
Overall I think this is the first time that Apple has screwed up really big with iOS. So I'll be patient but they better hurry up!!

Bought my iPhone 5s in Saudi and I am currently here..I don't have FaceTime in my phone but why can I see the 'icon' for FaceTime in my notification center? Do I have it really? Is it just blocked?

To everyone.. I. Need help..

If your iPhone was meant to be sold in KSA (and not a gray market iPhone
meant to be sold elsewhere), FaceTime is blocked by the KSA government
and cannot be installed - even if you take the iPhone to a country where
FaceTime is allowed.
What is the model number of your iPhone (Settings=>
General=>About=>Model) including all letters and numbers?

I have an iphone 4 (ios 4.3.1). I want to update to the latest ios, but it wouldn't load onto my iphone, I got error message code 3014. I tried again and it said I would lose all the contents on my iphone if I continued - help!

I have an iPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.1) and it was synced and backed up today.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest ios on iTunes (today's date is 3rd Jan 2013), it seemed to download ok (it took about 30 minutes or so), but when it tried to update onto the iPhone (I think this was what it was doing!) I got an error message that had code 3014 in it. Nowhere on Apple's website can I find a way to resolve this error code.
I then thought I would just try again from the beginning, but I then got an error message saying that if I continued I would lose all the contents on my iPhone so I cancelled it as I don't want to lose everything on my phone.
Can anyone help me as I am not very good at technical things and I really want to upgrade the ios on my iPhone without losing all the data I have on there already. An idiots guide would be great.
Thanks.

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone becaus the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

OCD with good reason
With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected. The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

Maybe your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use another carrier?
If so, now it locks back to the original carrier.

I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

All iPhones sold in Japan are carrier locked. The Japanese carriers do not offer unlocking.
You can not use that phone on a carrier other than the one it is locked to.
Sell it and buy one you can use.

The personal hotspot is not an app or an icon; it is a setting. You must first have your carrier provision it, then you turn it on in settings. Most carriers charge extra for tethering.
