bluuskii Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Anybody can confirm whether the facetime video calling feature using wifi or 3G is activated on the iphone4 being sold by TRUE MOVE, DTAC and AIS..Reason i ask is becuase here i n the middle east they have deactivated that feature so it's not available if I buy the iphone4 in the middle east.. thanks..

sushi5734 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yes I think it is, although I haven't used it because I don't know anyone else with one!! I'm 99.9% sure it is and it's a major feature of dtac's iPhone 4 tv advert, so that's a pretty good indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Deactivated? Are you sure? FaceTime only works on wifi, and it certainly works in Thailand, have used it with my better half. The other party needs an iPhone 4 as well so I can count the number of people I can use it with on one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluuskii Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 thanks for the replies..so i'll buy it in Bangkok... Apparantely the Middle East countries have banned the facetime feature just like they've banned BB messenger in Saudi and Dubai.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertcoins Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 i can understand this. imagine a moslima picking up the phone in the privacy of her husbands house and accidentally hitting the facetime button without wearing a headscarf. think of all the extra honour killings this could lead to!

Hadn't thought of that.... also OMG imagine secret lovers using this to secretly talk to each other, with video! I guess it's good to keep this kind of thing in mind at those times when it appears as if Thailand is the most backwards country in the world. There are worse out there.

toshikun Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Try with Thais at thaifacetime.com They have mobile version website for iphone and ipod touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Try with Thais at thaifacetime.com What's that? Apple just released facetime for OS X! So - lots of new ppl out there to talk to. I think it will take off once a critical mass of iPod, iPad, iPhone and Mac users start using it. I think it's surprising they didn't make a version for Windows yet, that would surely kick-start things... anyway for now I'm using it with the wife only. The WiFi restriction is also pretty limiting, really... on the other hand, I am not sure I'd want to always be available for video calls either...

If you are jailbroken, you can use Facetime over EDGE/3G as well as wifi: http://gizmodo.com/5602361/how-to-get-iphone-4-facetimeover-3g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
