no prob..but seems like the price drop..i rmb is around $49/39

n screen protector at here not cheap..mostly sell for $15...

would i be able to claim gst if i bought the iphone with cash from Apple Store? According to reliable sources, one has managed to buy iphone with cash off Robina Apple store.

yes. provided that you have the receipt with you.

however, if i'm not wrong, purchases exceeding AUD1000 need to be accompanied by a receipt bearing your name & address (this part needs confirmation)

uncertain about robina's but the one in chadstone requires credit card for sure.

erm guys this might be alittle off topic
anyone use commonwealth debit card??
coz in Brisbane the apple store is very far down south
so i tot of paying through online using debit card,but anyone know the limit usage of debit card use through online??

IMHO, if your debit card issued by the australian bank, is the debit mastercard variant, you should be able to use it without any problem.

and the usage limit in this instance, will be dependent on how much you have on that said account during the transaction.

hm it stated there maestro ...haha no idea at all
trying to check online at the bank website

there should be the iconic, mastercard logo on the bottom right.

mayb his debit card is old version which is blue in colour with maestro word...

yup yup
the blue greeny type with maestro
so is ok ??i check online generally says its a master card
just want to double confirm it

i think will b ok..btw u can set ur transaction limit by on9 in ur account..try check it

yup yup haha thanks for the tip bro
i didnt realize that can change the limit haha

@ELMO

it depends on ur bank. i've asked my bank before and they said its max limit is 3k or 8k. i cant recall because i asked them 1 month ago. i went to the bank and asked directly though, did not check it on9.

his bank is CBA

btw my limit for on9 transaction only up to $1k...n thts very low
but limit for Bpay above $10k

a few question i wanna ask about unlocked phone from aus. Recently there are quite a lot of thread selling iphone 3GS from australia. So every iphone 3GS is already officially unlocked, work just like maxis set??

and according to this picture:-

and compared to this thread the code for officially unlocked set is Australia: MC133X. So we just judge whether its unlock or lock thru the white sticker alone?

@radical85,
Best is to check the Model number. Anyone can put a white sticker on the box.

not necessarily. the model just represents the "region" and could still be locked to a network.

the good thing is, you can opt for an unlock from the respective network for a fee

my replacement unit was from apple store and it is still locked. but optus unlocked it PERMANENTLY for me

ty for answering.
since additional fee is imposed for unlocking, i dont think reseller will invest more $$ to unlock it

but if you ask for an unlocked unit from the apple store personally (not by some dodgy sellers), the unit will remain unlocked.

@radical85,
The only way to find out is for when U insert ur SIM into the i3GS to see if it works
