  • iPhone 4 Facetime, MMS on Alfa and MTC

I have no attachment to my number. It sucks honestly. But I have too much credit in it and I think switching lines is a headache.
It's cute how you guys think they give a shit for -20+ people
Hi guys. Usually I am positive in my life. Look if you make a search you can find hundred of people saying that they called their carriers and the hole facetime issue was escalated to Apple who raised it to FaceTime Engineers. So I think it's same issue with alfa. Therefore, we can blame also the latency of FaceTime Engineers. I hope this application will work soon so we can all of us talk to our friends using this application.

RYebot, I got a prepaid mtc line aside from my own alfa. FaceTime isn't activated!
What firmware of iOS are you currently on? And is
your phone factory unlocked or jailbroken or whatever? Details of your device please?
Mindmaker, did you get a reply on your email?
hey all,
same problem with facetime on alfa...
i'm on iphone4 factory unlocked iOS4.1
i've tried everything, my phone has sent more than 20 international text messages!!
i've been doing online researches for hours, and no positive result...
i finally sent a mail to alfa explaining the situation, and they replied that "facetime feature is new and still under testing and currently not working on alfa networks"
what's this shit?! when will our operators become normal! we dont want more than that, just normal is enough!
@akramk Yes my phone IS factory unlocked and NOT jailbroken. The version of iOS is 4.1 (8B117). To activate Facetime, I just went to Settings->Phone and flipped the Facetime switch on. That's it.

Oh and my MTC is also prepaid.
akramk ..... its very sad .. alfa cares a shit about their customers. I did not get a reply.

As expected, Alfa didn't solve the issue ...
Use tango, it works on both WiFi and 3G and it's multi-platform. Tried it with my Android with a friend on iPhone4, worked quite well.
I already use Tango! It's a good alternative for ALFA users.
Btw my FaceTime says: Settings_Account_Registration_Defualt and the toggle is on and cannot be set off.
Oh and FT isnt activated, ofcourse. What A Shame
I'm basically giving up on this. If only I could convince myself to switch to MTC :P

... And as usual nothing happened with Alfa ... The worst customer service ever ... They simply don't give a damn! ...
Hi guys, it seems that Alfa has finally responded ... FaceTime is activated as of today ... Please try it out and let me know ...
Just tried it and it works now on alfa!!
Good news! By the way is Facetime activating on iPhones unlocked using Ultrasnow? I have tried everything on my MTC line and nothing seems to work.
^ Yes. My brother's iPhone is unlocked using ultrasn0w and we facetimed :)
Try resetting network settings, or writing your phone # as +961......
Btw, those on alfa can now get their microsims. I got mine today.

That is weird I have already tried that many times and it's still not working. Anyway thanks for the feedback.
