Unable to contact the FaceTime server

Not sure why but I got locked out of facetime on my iPad. I waited the 5 days and just got my link to reset the password on my apple ID which I did and was accepted. I have tried about 5 time to log into facetime on my ipad (I don't have an iphone) with my apple id (email) and the new password I just set up. It takes awhile to try to log in and then I get the message "Unable to contact the FaceTime server". Everything is correct and I did receive an email validating that I correctly changed my password. It works when I log in to my apple account, just not facetime. What am I missing?
