Why can't I FaceTime on my Iphone 4?

Ive had an Iphone 4 for a while now (nearly over a year) and ive got the lastest update (iOS 6.1.3) but ever since I restored my phone ages ago I lost access to use FaceTime. Before I restored it I was able to FacTime different Iphone and Ipod users but now I'm not able to. My sister has an Iphone 4 just in black and she is able to FaceTime so I assume theres nothing new (like an update) my phone needs to be able to FaceTime.
Ive looked on the internet for answers and none of them seem to help. Most answers contain things like going onto settings and activating FaceTime, but I dont seem to have the app on my phone nor do I have the option to active FaceTime by going on to settings and then phone. I need help urgently as it's really starting to bug me.
Any answers would be most appreciated and useful.

nor do I have the option to active FaceTime by going on to settings and then phone. I need help urgently as it's really starting to bug me.
For an iPhone, there is no FT app/icon on the Homescreen... it's accessed via Contacts.
Check Settings > FaceTime to turn it on.  If not there, Check Settings > General > Restrictions and see if FT has been restricted.

    Depends on your carrier and data plan.
    With ATT in the US for example, you can FaceTime via ATT's cellular network if you have a shared data plan only.

  • Why can I no longer backup my Iphone to Outlook using ITunes?

    Why can I no longer backup my Iphone to Outlook using ITunes?
    for 6 months I never had a problem as it was indicated on Itunes but now the word OUTLOOK has disappeared from the screen!

    "Anyone know why? "
    Not I.  I have no such issue, nor does anyone I know.
    "Are we no longer able to use our own music?"
    We are certainly able to use our own music.  I do it often.
    "Is this legal?"
    Is what legal?  That you have an issue with your system?  Yes, that is legal.

    You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
    Call your our cell carrier first.
    then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.  
    NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

    Why can,t I bluetooth pair my iPhone 3GS with my new iPad, it does not even show up as discoverable. What can I do to fix this

    For what purpose are you trying to pair them?
    Only supported peer to peer apps such as photo transfer or multiplayer games can connect to other iOS devices via Bluetooth. You initiate the connection inside the app running on both devices.

  • HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
    1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
    2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
    3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
    This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.
