QUOTE(al3p @ Jun 23 2009, 09:42 PM) @neekun just make sure the receipt is over 300 then u can claim and u must buy the iPhone i think 7 days (or is it 10 days) prior departure. If u comply with that, I dont think you'll have any problem even on student visa. ( i myself on student visa) thirty days la. i can remember that vividly, because i was queuing up at the Tullamarine Airport counter for my GST claim and this chinese, old couple pretended that they couldn't comprehend english and hence didn't know about the 30 days. however they knew about it because they were saying it in hokkien after the unsuccessful attempt to claim it!
Added on June 23, 2009, 9:54 pmis this the one? QUOTE The requirements of the scheme are that a traveller may claim a refund under the TRS if they:
* buy a minimum of $300 worth of goods from one retailer
* buy the goods no earlier than 30 days before departing Australia
* ask the retailer for a single tax invoice for the goods
* carry or wear the goods on board the aircraft or ship as cabin baggage, and
* present their tax invoice, goods, passport and boarding pass to the TRS booth when departing Australia. This post has been edited by nokia2003: Jun 23 2009, 09:54 PM |

QUOTE(Voonz @ Jun 24 2009, 06:25 PM) if i get the vodafone 32g from australia. I will get $350 worth of talk time. Is it possible to transfer/sell it to other people like how we transfer credit in malaysia? if it's possible it will be damn awesome. i will bring back alot of units erm... if you are from oz, you will know that $350 is actually "pretend money" and not actually real money. that "pretend money" has no significant value. |

But i would really like an officially unlocked hone. all the necessary information are at the first post. hopefully they are sufficient for you to make an informed decision |

QUOTE(kwekeugene @ Jun 25 2009, 12:55 AM) Anyone here going for the midnight launch? Might drop by and have a look since it's not too far away from my place. i would love to go to be honest, but i have a half past 9 paper that very same day. but i'm still hallucinating about going for the launch; so much so, that i have 2 separate appointments for the optus launch, 12am - 3am and 3am - 6am |

QUOTE(kidnz @ Jun 25 2009, 10:34 AM) Does anyone know is it possible if it is possible that I can bring vodafone iPhone to oversea and unlock through vodafone website? technically you can. but there is a possibility, the website unlocking may not go through and you might have to resort to, patronising the standalone store for rectification.

Then, I will need U to go buy it [but then I won't be able to pass U the $ so it's really whether U can trust me or not], then pass it to her on my behalf  errr... i will be needing the payment in AUD anyway (a well stipulated term), so just ask her to pass me her AUD first la. then when she is in malaysia, you can pass MYR/AUD to her. |

Er.. what price are we talking about here again?! The one lailaikatong reported? up to you. you can decide. for me, it all depends on the actual market tomorrow (either it is vodafone's prepaid unit or the outright unit from apple store) as i need to get one anyway. |

QUOTE(lailaikatong @ Jun 25 2009, 05:49 PM) Sorry bout not placing a link earlier: http://www.apple.com/au/retail/iphone/Outright Purchase: Purchase limits may apply. Only credit cards can be accepted for iPhone payment. Prices not listed on the website but I found out from MacTalk, some guys on there called the Apple retail stores to check the prices.
@nokia2003: Wouldn't it be more worth it for you to sign up for a contract, rather than buying prepaid/outright? Also, good luck for your exam tomorrow. I just had my last paper this morning  Yeay! i AM signing an optus contract. the outright/prepaid unit is for a friend! thanks a lot for your well wishes. i highly appreciate it! |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jun 25 2009, 05:52 PM) @nokia2003, Since the Apple Store units are A$100 cheaper, Y don't U go to Apple Store?! A$100 less is about RM300 difference here .... can ah?! *puhlease* i will go for the cheapest option obviously. but i'm just laying out different alternatives. because if i go for the vodafone bound unit, i have to arrange for an unlock as well. that is like additional work for me... hence i'm aiming for the apple store units, whenever feasible. |
