If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, follow these steps:

If you started to have issues making or receiving FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014, you or your friend may have an expired device certificate. Updating both devices will resolve this issue.
Verify that FaceTime is enabled in Settings > FaceTime.
If the issue persists or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation," turn FaceTime off and then on again. Learn what to do if you can't activate FaceTime.
If you don't see the FaceTime setting, make sure that Camera and FaceTime aren't disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions.
Verify that the date and time are set correctly: Tap Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on Set Automatically.
Verify that both parties have an active Internet connection and are connected to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data connection.
Verify push functionality using Mail or other applications that use this feature. FaceTime uses push notifications to send and receive invitations.
Make sure that you have the correct phone number or email address.
Restart your device.

Hi can someone please help ? My Daughter and I got new iPads for Christmas. 4th generation. We r unable to use FaceTime it is saying we are unavailable for FaceTime and it hangs up. Could someone please explain how to resolve this mater....thank you !
That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.

Last week, I could no longer connect with anyone via facetime. I updated to the newest IOS this morning and it still is not working. I've reset the network, restarted the phone, cold booted the phone, toggled the date and time, toggled facetime.. basically everything the troubleshoot says.
NOTHING has fixed it.
Some other info:
Using iphone 5s, and have only had it since ~mid-June 2014.
Studying abroad in Europe since August 25, so no actual "phone" capabilities are being used right now. Just wifi.
It was working until last week, so it's not because I'm in Europe.
Everything else seems to be working okay (IMessage, other downloaded apps).
Thank you for any help!Go to settings make sure FaceTime is enabled. Bsydd uk

Suddenly Unable to Connect to FaceTime
I have a MacBook Pro running 10.8.5, and iPad 2 and an iPhone 5 both running iOS7. My girl friend has a MacBook running 10.7. We were only able to connect if I called her on my iPhone. Suddenly, I can't connect to her at all, neither of us changed anything else. Ideas? When she calls me via FT, I hear her MacBook ringing, but I get nothing. and same when I try to call her.
One more thing, I did change one thing...I shut down my iPad. That's the only change, no software updates, nothing. Suddenly no connection at all.
And all along, video quality is terrible even though I have the fastest internet speed AT&T offers and she has very good speed as well.

My FaceTime won't connect. Every time I try to call my friend it says connecting. Then unable to connect. Or lost connection. And when I go to our FaceTime history it said "FaceTime answered on another device." What can I do to fix this problem? We always used to FaceTime. And now all of the suddenly we can't.
Apple has released a document which is reported to address the recent FaceTime issue.

Imac FaceTime unable to connect to network (safari connected and loading pages).
I have a brand new Imac, I have never been able to get facetime to work. It keeps getting hung up on the log in page, and eventually gives me an error message of unable to connect to network. Safari and other web based programs are working perfectly.
Any Ideas?How can I get my Mac to join an open 3Com wireless
network? The network is recognised but Mac is unable
to connect...
The 3Com wireless router is connected to a broadband
router through a PC running XP.
Do you have two routers? That may be your issue. You should only be using one router, or configure one of the routers and turn of DHCP. -
