I don't think telcos will unlock the phone so u can use outside of their network. Thats the reason they lock it in the first place. Unless u have an inside man to do the job. The phone now is just un-subsidized but still locked to the telcos network.

australia's optus is charging $80 as unlocking fees (or topping up at least $80 of credits to unlock), for the prepaid plans for iphones.. i might consider one of those.. still quite ex.. sad.gif

and i assume that once its unlocked, we can use it on other telcos.. which is really fair.. and hopefully we can still claim warranty from apple..

QUOTE
Network Locking: Apple iPhone handsets are locked to the Optus network. An $80 fee applies if network locking is removed within the first 6 months from the activation date. Alternatively, if you recharge to the value of $80, no fee applies.

Well, there is one more way; you could actually ask the telcos to unlock it for you. But that will surely cost a lot and not all telcos provide such policy... sweat.gif

mmm...before this i've read that for O2 Pay n Go option they'll unlock the iPhone only after 1 year with a fee.

as a matter of fact, there was a subpoena distributed to all apple product sellers in malaysia ; if you are caught selling iphones, your license or rights to sell apple products will be revoked.

Even Apple authorized reseller also cannot sell iPhone? So, who are the one that are supposed to be legal to sell? Those network company like At&T and O2 etc...to their subscribers? sweat.gif

Great info compiled in that chart. Too bad we dont go to Switzerland anymore, namely Zurich, otherwise I'd already be salivating for a chance to get one there.

This month only got trips to Paris and Frankfurt, so my chances of getting one would be from there. Not immediately expensive, but not as cheap as previously either.

Been checking around, there dont seem to be any contract-free iPhones available from T-Mobile or Orange from Germany and France. Unless comeone can point me to the right place, looks like I'm out of "Apples" from France's "Orange".

RM3900-RM5200, that's brave of you.

As for your question, that depends on how the IPD guys respond to firmware 2.0. There are saying that they are getting reasy with the unlock, but those unlocks IIANM are based on 2.0 beta/SDKs, not the ones coming this July 11th.

Well, I dun think there will be enough stock for Aus coz optus reserved most of the iphone for those who had already made the deposit. And the rest are for those who want to subscribe to plan and prepaid users. I think have to wait for a few more weeks for the new stocks to come. But for Vodafone Aus, they just released the price this morning, it is so expensive just like voda NZ.
