This morning after searching endlessly for a couple of weeks i got Facetime working after trying and combining various tips (ultrasnow unlocked, unsupported carrier Digicel Panama ).


This is what i did :

- Unclocked iphone with ultrasnow
- Made sure my number under the phone setting is complete with international prefix. Example +(507) xxxxxxxx (I live in Panama so 507 is my prefix )
- Turn off Caller ID
- Turn off Facetime
- Reset the phone by holding Home button and Sleep/Awake button until the phone shuts off
- Turn on the phone
- Turn on Show Caller ID
- Turn on Facetime

Its should ask you about the sms charges and after a couple of minutes ( in my trial it did it inmediatly ) Facetime was activated.


UPDATE: I was able to replicate the procedure with an CLARO (panama) sim card which does not let you turn off the Show My Caller ID. I just skipped that step. Worked perfecty.

UPDATE 2: Just did it with a Cable & Wireless SIM CARD. Activates inmediatly
