It may be because with tmobile you won't have 3G

That doesn't matter, FaceTime is a WiFi to WiFi video call (same as the new iPod touch, network not required).

just out of curiosity, is FaceTime enabled on your phone?

in my country, there's like 6 mobile phone operators, and
only 3 of them are able to use facetime, the rest operators are like yours, "waiting for activation".

i guess it's your operator fault.
 
I don't think it's 3G bacause "3G" doesn't appear at the left top of my iphone

I see "E" instead of "3G" at the left top if I turn WiFi off and don't know what it means ??

The other poster was right, you don't need 3G to use facetime. The E on your phone stands for Edge, the slower alternative data transfer method. With tmobile the 3G frequency is not used by iPhone. Why not use AT&T?
