How come singapore Iphone so much cheaper than malaysia?

Yea, that was what I was referring to. Just spoke to my friend in singapore and he told me Iphone is very affordable in Singapore. Not so much difference in pricing, but their telco is very generous on DATA CAP. 12 GIG .. that is like 24 times the 500 Mb given by Maxis.

WTH Maxis starts to charge after 500MB, that is plain STUPID SNAKE.

But data 12Gig compared to 1Gig... macam mane?

I chose maxis because

1. I got a few supplementary lines under me on Maxis. It will be too troublesome to port to Digi with all the supplementary lines.

2. Most of my contacts are on Maxis. Naturally, I will definitely save more with Maxis.

3. Coverage - This is what I heard from my friends who are on DiGi - Low coverage signal when they are inside a building.

4. I chose the Idata plan, just add RM50 per month for 12 months contract. Digi binds you to 2 or 3 years contract. In telco industry, a lot of things can change in 2 years, that includes the rate plans, phone offers, etc.

5. 500 MB of data is MORE than enough if I don't Youtube (only use about 20% of the data per month )

Oh forgot to add, since it's a 1 year contract, if I don't like Maxis, I can always choose to change to Digi after 1 year. So the 1 year contract really matters for me. You won't have this option when you are bound to 2 or 3 years.

Those are the published rates in their website. They do have promotions drive from time to time. My friend got it for S$ 159 for Iphone 3GS and a 2 year contract with S$ 55 monthly commitment fee.

Our telco in Malaysia is really reaping us off!
