Why there is no FaceTime in my 4s?

I bought new iPhone 4s in AppStore. Price, delivery - everithing is good and my phone was delivered extremely quickly.
But I found out, that there is no FaceTime installed.
Now I live in UAE and I heard that this feature is prohibited allegedly.
But. Why I did not receive any warnings or notifications about it before the purchasing?
I think Apple must do it.
So, hoe can I activate FaceTime in my iPhone? I suspect it is de-activated in software version in phones for UAE?
Or it is a hardware issue?
I'm going to go back in Russia after few month and I need this feature.
Please, help to activate it.
Thank you!

If FaceTime was that critical when purchasing your iPhone surely it's reasonable to expect that YOU ask at the point of sale or do your research beforehand.  Apple cannot anticipate the specific needs/wants of an individual who purchase their iPhones, therefore they attempt to manage people's expectation by placing information of their web site.  You cannot hold Apple responsible for your lack of research.  Your argument should be with the UAE Government and not Apple as it is at the express wish of the UAE Government that FaceTime has been removed, as previously stated by others in this post.

    Why there's no FaceTime icon on my iPad air?

    If you are looking for the free downloads of those apps that was being offered with the purchase of a new iOS device after September 2013, I assume that the promotion is world wide and if it is, as long as you are using the same Apple ID in the App Store that you used to activate the device, you will be able to download them for free. If they don't show up as free right away, give it some time and they should eventually be free to you.
    When I bought my iPhone 5S, they appeared as free to me the next day after the phone was setup and activated.

  • Why there's no facetime on my ipad 4 ?

    Why there's no face time on my ipad 4 ?

    If you bought your iPad in certain middle eastern countries (UAE etc) then facetime is prohibited by their laws and no device sold there can have facetime on it.
    If you bought it elsewhere facetime can be turned off in the restrictions, so you may want to look there.

  • There is no facetime in my iPhone, why? and how to get it?

    there is no facetime in my iPhone 5, why? and how to get it?

    Enable FaceTime in the settings, and when you save a contact in your iPhone, you click the contact and you get options. The options are sms, video call, facetime or GSM call. There is no specific FaceTime application in iPhones, this is the only way you can FaceTime unlike iPod's iPads and Macs. Hope it helps

    Headsets don't come with the iPad. All you get is the iPad, USB cable and wall charger.

  • There is no facetime apps in my iphone4s

    after updating ios 7.1 i lost facetime for ios7.1_iphone4s, how can i have facetime apps back?

    FaceTime is NOT an app, but is in settings and needs to be enabled.
    Unfortunately, if there is no FaceTime on your phone, then there is nothing that you can do except buy a new phone.  You can never get FaceTime on a phone that does not now have it.
    It sounds as if your phone might have been jailbroken at some stage along the way and if this is the case, when upgraging the OS on a jailbroken phone, it will revert again, so this is why FaceTime has disappeared - there is nothing that you can do.

  • Why there is no wifi network showing on my iphone 4s

    why there is no wifi network showing on my iphone 4s.

    i got this reply for mts yesturday...
    There is no set time when LTE will be available on the iphone 5 with MTS.  The LTE network works well with MTS but currently our agreement with Apple does not allow us to activate it for the iphone 5.  However we are working with Apple to get LTE access for the phone.  I apologize about any inconvenience this may have caused you.

    Hello I am just wondering why there is a message of error 1004 when i tryed to make the update on my apps. Does someone know what it means?

    Yes, many know what this means.  You can too.  Just type in "error 1004" in the search box at the top of this page.  Or, just look to the right.  You'll find many links in the "More Like This" box. 
    Always good forum etiquette to search for previous posts on the topic before posting.

  • Why there are two init methods?

    I copied this code from netbeans for a JApplet.. and it has two init methods
    One is public void init() that calls another initComponents() method.
    And the initComponents() method has all the components defined in it, and it is private.
    I replaced private with public and changed initComponents to init, and then deleted all the init method, it worked that way.
    But why there two methods when you can put every thing in single init() method?
    The init() method has this code in it:
    public void init() {
            try {
                java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        initComponents();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
        }

    BDLH:
    WWJD? Probably code in Ruby, but I digress. No, he would define an abstract base for that boilerplate code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.lang.reflect.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public abstract class AbstractApplet extends JApplet {
         public void init() {
              try {
                   EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                             initComponents();
              } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
              } catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
         protected abstract void initComponents();
         //ditto: start, stop, distroy
    }

  • Why there is no quick selection function in adobe photoshop 6.0.1 [was: cs6.01]?

    Some one my help? why there is no quick selection function in my adobe photoshop 6.0.1 [was: cs 6.01]?

    What John Waller just said.
    And your screen shows it is the archaic, totally superseded Photoshop 6.01, and that was in no way associated with any CS (Creative Suite), so your question title indicating you had "cs6.0.1" was massively and annoyingly misleading and wrong.
    You must be running an ancient machine if that oldie runs on it.
    What's worse you are running an illegal, pirated and hacked version of Photoshop.  You are breaking the law.
    Please don't come back here until you have bought a legal copy of Photoshop.  

  • Why won't my FaceTime connect? It keeps saying connection failed when trying to sign in.

    Why won't my FaceTime work? I just got this iPad new was able to FaceTime once. The next time I tried to FaceTime it said phone number incomplete. So I signed out of FaceTime and now it won't sign back in. It keeps saying connection failed check connection. I am showing I'm connected to the wireless router. What could be the issue?

    Ok, so sometimes apple's servers may crash, temporarily. Just check the following site: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/systemstatus/
    and it will notify you of any crashes. The link above is for the UK. Change to adapt to your country if you are outside of the UK. If your problem isn't listed I am sure it will be resolved within 24 hours. If this problem persists best thing is to contact apple.
    Hope this helped :)

    I bought an iPhone from etisalat and there is no FaceTime, how do I reinstall it?

    You may try 3rd party softwares like Viber or Skype which support video calling both over WIFI and on 3G, unlike FT calling which can only be done over WIFI.
    And if the FT feature is so important for you, you can sell this phone and buy a factory unlocked iPhone of a country where FT is not blocked by law. (Avoid Model #s ending with AE & AB).

  • Why there is no uttorent in app store.

    Why there is no utorrent in the app store?

    Might be because a torrent site would not meet the stringent requirements and because the app store is in business to sell apps vs. a torrent site which makes things available for free (even though they may cost money elsewhere).
