iMassages is blocked too? but it working on the iphone 4g? why not in Iphone 4s?
iMessage is a feature of iOS5. Having iPhone4 or iPhone4S doesn’t matter.
For me with iPhone4 @ STC sim, it doesn’t work. So, my belief, iMessage is not for KSA. Even my iPad2 can’t run iMessage.
Anyone correct me if I’m wrong.
iMessage is working (STC SIM, Mobily iPhone 3GS). I knew it is working with STC iPhone 4 as well.

I don’t know why does it not work with me. It starts trying with iMessage, tries tries tries then something fails and the message is sent via SMS. Any idea?
@Malik: Most probably the person you’re sending the iMessage to doesn’t have iOS5 or is in an area without Wi-Fi or 3G reception.
Ahan! That’s the catch! Now I got it why yesterday it worked with me for the first time ever.
Many Thanks Omar!

i know they haven’t announced the price..bt does anyone have any IDEA how much 16/32 gig wud b ?
sounds great, but without FaceTime and the iMessage support, i mean why wait for them to lunch officially on the 16th, afterall its available on Apple Premium Resellers in the kingdom. One thing, off the thread: Are they going to lunch the Apple Online Store in KSA, i read it hear before that it will be lunch on December, that is after the UAE’s Apple Online Store has been lunched…
I just got mine from Saletab.com – their price is good and customer service is very friendly.
