Done the restore already. Still the same. It was working find and since last week or so started giving prob. It is kind of intermittent.
Finally, I found that the date time giving the problem.
By default, it is set to auto with Cupertino as location. Change it to Asia/Kuala Lumpur. Because it is on Celcom. Maxis and Digi should be okay.
Maybe because ios 4.1. When she was on 3gs with ios3 okay.

Celcom 9.1 update has made my "Call forwarding active" sign disappeared.

Facetime still remains the same. I can't activate it.

In Safari, in bookmark section have "Celcom" that leads you to iphone.celcom.com.my. But, it does not work.

oh yeah, come to think of it, the call forwarding message seems to disappear. I guess the update did actually worth it, although at the moment, it's quite minor to me.

Same here,still can't activate FaceTime:(

Is your iOS 4.1 or 4.2.1?

thats a gud news bro..btw..im also working in same industry as yours..what company u from?hehe..but my major problem now is i cant activate my facetime..really2 disappointed with celcom..

The iPhone is on iOS 4.2.1

Apoc,
Are you saying ur on 4.2.1 and you can FaceTime??
Am I missing something here?it was fine for me on 4.1 but when I upgraded to 4.2.1 I cant activate FaceTime..it just keeps saying waiting for acTivation when I switch ON FaceTime..FYI,I'm using a SG ip4 with Celcom.

I think what apoc is trying to say is no more "Call Forwarding" appear when making call out (on Celcom) dues to celcom's updated carrier setting.
It shows that celcom is very closed into this iphone domain. Some of us has "Carrier 9.0" shows in iphone setting. Another clue.
Unfortunately, facetime feature is still not working.
From my source at celcom, do not think they will launch this month. Most likely Jan 2011, but they are working on ads, marketing etc prior to the launch.

Yes, my iPhone is running on iOS 4.2.1 and I have never jailbroken it. It has been running quite smoothly as it should. Every features have been smooth sailing thus far, Facetime and such.

I am sorry to hear that Facetime seems unavailable to you on your iPhone. Have you restored the phone as new instead of restoring it from backups? I assume you have done that. But just in case you haven't, you might want to give it a try. On the extreme end, you could ask Celcom for a SIM card Replacement
and see if it solves your problem. I'm just guessing here.

And for the record, my iPhone is also a Singapore set. But, I don't think it is relevant to your problem.

hye everyone, i am new here.

today just get my 3GS, and try to learn on using iphone.

previously, i was blackberry user, and use celcom postpaid with lite package (BBand Basic Rm38)

so, on iphone, do i need to worry about my data usage that can bring to shock bill with this BBand Basic RM38? or it is enough? BTW, going to upgrade package in 3 days, since celcom center closed on weekend (dont want to go bluecube,their service bad).



sorry for kinda noob, but really need some guidance on this.

u will not get heart attack with celcom....

if u are not internet (data usage) heavy user like me... RM38 - 1Gb is enuff...if you cant live without internet then upgrade to unlimited plan RM68 or RM98

Just to update,tried restoring from new but still unable to activate Facetime.
4.2.1..

hav anyone try restored the phone as new instead of restoring it from backups, just like apoc said before? anychance it make FT possible on celcom? i al ready done several restore process before, so dah tak larat for doing the restoration again..

my phone field empty =_=

i've tried it bro..but still can't use facetime..& does anyone know how much they charge when this message pop-out during facetime activation? - "Your carrier may charge for SMS message used to activate FaceTime"

too "KEJAM" if celcom charge it for international messaging (as i heard b4 but not sure about it) coz its not even activate it!!

when dis alert msg came out "Your carrier may charge for SMS message used to activate FaceTime" it actually shows that ur iphone is trying to activate facetime with ur current sim
however, try to go setting > phone and check whether the facetime status izit 'waiting for activation'
if it stuck there.. no charges will be made as ur sim doesnt send out any msg yet to activate the facetime
im using hotlink prepaid on my iphone and have the same issue with u
so i m pretty sure there's no any charges

I am on iphone 3GS and my partner is on iphone 3G. Both of us has been experiencing major call drops ad no network detected in these last week. Hopefully this update will settle all problems.
