Not getting Facetime calls on iPad 2 iOS6.

My family members say they try to reach me (my iPad 2 iOS6) via facetime.  They say they call but the ipad does not ring nor do I get an missed call alert.  I have experimented using my iPhone 4S (iOS6) calling my ipad and found this to be true, my Ipad does not answer.  When the ipad is not plugged in (I have not tried it with the ipad plugged in), I call it from my 4s and it does not ring.  I do not have a smart cover but have removed the ippad from the case.  I initiate a call from the ipad to the iphone and it works great.  I call back the ipad from my iphone and then it works.  It seems like the longer the ipad "sleeps" is when it does not respond to a call. 
Honestly, sometimes I can call the ipad and it answers.  Other times I call, it does not answer.  I can't figure this out.  I have searched the forums and have done everything that has been suggested, but the issues don't seem to be intermittent like the one I'm having.
Can someone help?

    You can't, FaceTime is banned there. You won't be able to activate FaceTime in the UAE.

    Hi.. My internet and wifi are working on samsung phone and hp laptop but its not getting connected to iphone ipad, only skype is coming online rest all apps and safari show no internet connection. Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • Hello, I have an iPhone 4s, I noticed that when I am on a call (Phone) and I am done and I go to hang up, the iPhone is stuck on the screen and can not get new calls

    Hello, I have an iPhone 4s, I noticed that when I am on a call (Phone) and I am done and I go to hang up, the iPhone is stuck on the screen and can not get new calls or call to a new call

    Is there a case on the iphone?
    If so, then remove it and see if that solves it.
    Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar.

    The following may help http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/how-remove-your-apple-id-completely-shut-do wn-your-itunes-store-icloud-other-accounts-3474388/ but note that if you want to sell or give away the iPad you may need a working password to sign it out of iCloud due to Activation Lock.

  • Why apple was not update facetime call over the cellular for iPhone 4?????

    why apple was not update facetime call over the cellular for iPhone 4?????

    Facetime will not use the cellular network (if using AT&T) for the iphone 4, 4S or 5 unless you have signed up for ATT's new data share plan. They stated this several weeks ago when there was talk about Iphone5/IOS 6 and Facetime. Your carrier is the one that decides if Facetime will work over the cellular network or not. You might want to contact them. Your other option is to continue using it via wi-fi.

  • After upgrade to IOS6 on my iPOD touch, i did not get Facetime installed automatically. is there something i need to do ?

    I just updraded my iPod touch (4th gen) to IOS6.1.3 and thought I would get Facetime installed with it, but i do not see the app at all. is there something i need to do to get it ? My iPOD Model number is MC544LL/A. Is Facetime not supported on this ?

    It is supported on the 4th generation.
    Is FaceTime restricted in Settings > General > Restrictions?

  • A FaceTime call on iPad 3rd gen reboot the device

    Not happens in every call but perhaps in a 4/10 calls proportion.
    I've Ipad 3rd gen, with latest iOS in it. I often receive and made calls from my family (almost 1 call a day) and I can test the behaviour in a great detail.
    The crash makes the iPad reboot. Not any other flaw. This only happen in FaceTime and not in all calls. But it leads to confusion and honestly: We don't pay a  600 bucks device that can't handle a videoconference call.
    This must be solved...fast. Or people (like me) will move to other solutions (skype, g+ hangouts...etc)

    Thanks for the info, however the correct url is:

  • Account will send but not receive Facetime calls

    I have an old iMac running Snow Leopard and a New iPad.  I have an Apple account for my wife and one for myself.  I can recieve Facetime calls on my wife's account when I send it from my account, but I cannot receive messages on my account when I send it from my wife's account.  It says I am "not available". 
    It doesn't make a difference which device we use to send the call the same problem persists, so it seems to be an account problem and not a hardware problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Contact your carrier.

  • I did not get facetime in my iphone when my account is linked to the u.s

    guys i brought the iphone in the united arab emirates [dubai] during my visit there for a meeting but then when i came back to new york and updated to ios7 it did not have facetime in it even when my apple id is from the us.....help me

    Doesn't matter where your AppleID is from.  It matters where the PHONE is from.  All phones sold in the UAE have had FaceTime removed, effectively at the hardware level.  There is no way to get FaceTime on that phone.  Ever.  No matter if you update the iOS (as you discovered), or take the phone out of the UAE (as you've also discovered).  If you want FaceTime, you'll have to purchase a brand new phone.

  • Problem with incoming FaceTime calls on iPad 2

    How to solve the problem, that iPad 2 (WIFI 32GB German) doesn't react to incoming FaceTime calls?
    Sometimes it works, usual in a time frame after an outgoing call. Outgoing calls (to different iPhone 4) are always working.

    Try restarting your iPad by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. 

  • IPhone bluetooth lowering volume and fans even when not getting a call

    Have a friend where when he gets into his car, his phone is even turning the radio volume down and lowering the fan speed even when he doesn't get a call, so he has to keep turning bluetooth or his phone off so it won't mess with that stuff.  Before it would only do that when he would receive a call.  Any idea what might be doing it?

    What indications does your friend have that his phone is causing that?
    It's possible - maybe an alert/notification that is coming through is causing it.   The sound is trying to play through the bluetooth instead of the handset.   Tell him to mute his phone.
