We all know that the FaceTime service is prohibited in a number of Arab countries, especially the Gulf, for various reasons (which many do not know), and this ban is from the governments of these countries and not from Apple. Which makes many people wonder about how to activate it and whether this blocking can be removed. And the answer was always "no", but now we can say that the answer has become "yes". You can activate the FaceTime service in the Arab Gulf states and Saudi Arabia through the jailbreak. Find out how.
When the traditional methods are unable to provide a solution here, the role of the jailbreak and the world of cydia comes in. Despite their many risks to the security of devices, they still have a benefit, such as in our case, activating FaceTime.
Apple devices around the world are the same and there are no changes in them, but at the request of some countries, Apple stops some services, as it gives an order to the system that if it finds the country / network with the model number of certain devices, then turn off the FaceTime feature. But with this method you will be able to add the service activation command inside the system files.
The method is exclusive for jailbreak users only on iOS 8

Information: There is news that the official unblocking of FaceTime is coming soon, but we do not know the extent of this news, so if you want to wait and not do a jailbreak, the decision is up to you.
