    I am not too sure about why they chose to make FaceTime available over wifi only considering how important and nice it would be to make it usable through 3g waves.

    I think though it would get a decrease in performance and efficiency should they have been made available through 3g, but one that people would generally understand.

    Performance dips are one of the things that people could actually look past on.

    IDevices supplied in certain countries, such as the UAE, do not have FaceTime, due to the restrictive laws in those countries.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to install FaceTime under such circumstances. You may, however, be able to install Skype, although this may involve a visit to an app store outwith your own country.
