IOS 5 facetime activation

Ok. Here is the problem:
I put my friend's sim card to my iPhone.
After this, I cannot activate facetime. I tried general reset, hard reset, sim card change, restore from iTunes.
The thing is that when I turn on the toggle for facetime it says "Waiting for activation" and after a minute or two above my email is my friend's number.
Well, I suppose that this is the reason why Apple won't authorize my facetime activation. I checked Settings > Phone and my phone is entered corectly.
My carrier is T-Mobile in Croatia, facetime is supported on this location.
What should I do?
I need help.
Thnx in advance!

Is your carrier an officail iPhone carrier that supports all iPhone functions? Many non-official iPhones carriers won't support FaceTime activation on iPhones (even though it uses WiFi for connection).

5) Tried DNS Setting to Google's 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
6) Created New ID in facetime and password entered carefully!
7) Tried 3 apple IDs (i don't like this But i wanted to run facetime)
i also have Iphone 4 facetime works great on it! i love this feature!
i tried to install Tango on Ipod! it installed but stops responding connecting (on Ipod touch 4), so tango also not working. i am just informing about tango. I want facetime to wrok.
Please Help me! I think this is from Apple server side problem!
Thanks in Advance

You may want to ask your question under a new discussion thread so you can be the Original Poster(OP) there. You will continue to receive emails from the other threads you have posted to. I think it will allow folks responding to focus on your particular situation. Also you will have to post your troubleshooting results only once.
Now that you are past the FaceTime login step, where are you in the troubleshooting steps in the iOS:Using FaceTime article at http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/facetime/?
Again, if you can ask and answer in a new thread/topic, that would be great.

Imessage and facetime activation failed

Hi,
after reinstalling mit iphone 5 (iOS 6.1.4) I'm currently unable to activate imessage and facetime. When I try to activate both I get a SMS from
+447786205094 with content starting "REG-RESP?V+3;..." after a while I see that imessage and facetime activation failed.
Does anyone else having this issues today? How can I fix it? Is there a problem in the apple environment?
Best Regards,

FaceTime Activation issue

Hello,
I am new to Mac and when I try to log into FaceTime, I have the following error message:
Could not verify the email address. Please re-enter and try again.
My Apple ID is valid as I have used it to buy apps in the AppStore. What could be the problem?

Hey Floogs,
Sounds like you're stuck at activating FaceTime. I found an article that is helpful with that issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
More specifically, the following steps under "Troubleshooting Apple ID activation" are pertinent:
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
When enabling FaceTime or iMessage on an iPhone, you may see "Waiting for Activation". This message refers to the activation of your telephone number only. You can use FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID even if your phone number has not completed activation.You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID here:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Cheers,
David

HT204380 FaceTime Activation An error occurred during activation

Trying to log into FaceTime on a new iPod Touch. When I enter my apple id and pass, I get the following error message. "FaceTime Activation...An error occurred during activation. Try Again." I know the apple id and pass are correct, any suggestions.

You may have tried this already, but I was having this same issue too, I messed with it for about an hour, then restarted my phone and signed in again and it worked. Hope it works for you too.

Cannot get on iMessage or FaceTime I get this message "FaceTime Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again

Cannot get on iMessage or FaceTime I get this message "FaceTime Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again

Try something really simple.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try this. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Or try this as well. Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure it is set to On.
@Freckles888 ..... I really doubt that "millions of others" are having this problem. I think that news would be all over the airwaves and Apple would be taking more heat about it that we can imagine.

I have the same problem. FaceTime works fine on my iMac but when trying to use FaceTime on my Macbook Air, I have the same issue you describe.

Facetime login issue - "Facetime activation"

I purchased a new large iPad and restored it from my old iPad using my computer. For some reason the Facetime on a new iPad took the wrong email, but when I try to change it to my actual email I get this error:
Facetime Activation
Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
I've been trying the whole day yesterday. Obviously my network connection is OK.
Any idea how to fix this?

I actually got it working. They wanted me to change my password. So who would've thought??? Once I logged in through this page https://appleid.apple.com/ and changed it, everything started to work again.
PS. Evidently we have to pay for Apple's inability to keep celebrity nudes private by changing our passwords now. I just wish that they clearly labeled it.

FaceTime Activation on Ipad

Installed ios8.1.1 on Ipad and try to sign in to face time with correct Apple ID and correct password
and get dialog box
FaceTime Activation
An error occurred during activation. Try
again
OK

Looks like that may have fixed it. Let me do some testing before I mark it as solved.
Thanks for the help.
