The cards that went through is: Hong Leong, Citibank and UOB [Malaysian CC] & American Express[US Based]

*There are times your order get stuck. There are 2 possible reason. I have stated the alternative as to what you can do if you face the problem.
a) Credit Card Company doesn't release your payment to apple. Alternative: You can change cards or cancel your order.
b) Apple suspect you using credit card from overseas. Alternative: You can cancel your order or send in your documents
*Sending in your documents does not guarantee your order will go through

7. After you Order, you will get an Acknowledgement letter from Apple. Followed by a Shipping Notification with a 10 digit tracking number from DHL Singapore when your order is ship. Then an Invoice stating your order amount have been charged to the credit card.
*Apple will only hold your amount from your credit card when you order from the first time. They do not charge it straight away*
-You can check the Tracking number from: http://www.dhl.com.sg/en.html

8. Address. When you order, you must use a Singapore Address aka Shipping Address[Refer to Point 3]. The billing address can be the same as your Singapore address(If you use Malaysian CC or Amex-Us Based). The phone number, you can put your contact's number in Singapore(Singapore Number).
*How about Malaysian number? You can try to put that. But I can't guarantee you if Apple/DHL will call you due to overseas number.

Yes. Apple Singapore will only ship anywhere as long as the address is in singapore. Delivery is FREE!
Regarding the credit card. I am not too sure about that. From my purchase of the Malaysian online store
The transaction is done in singapore itself. So I believe you maybe can use Malaysian Credit card
For American Express(non maybank), you can definitely use it.

No problem. Found this on the singapore online store regarding payment via malaysian credit card.
Can I place an order using a non-Singapore credit card?- We are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Singapore.

The iPhone 4 is still unknown if it will be available at physical store. The 3GS is available but it is by Singtel and not Apple.

@A4pApEr:
Prices for all 3 telco is still unknown or I have not confirmed the real details. I will do it as soon as it is officially out to avoid confusion

Regarding the availability. It all boils down to Singtel which is currently selling the 3GS 8gb(unlocked) units through Epicenter. If you are lucky, singtel might sell the iPhone 4 at a later date. I guess the nearest option for you right now is wait for maxis.

I was planning to go down as well. But looking at all odds. Only way is through the online apple store. For now that is.

From what I was told by the iPhone 4 users during the last TT, they said as long you use American Express you can order via UK
I guess it also applies to Singapore online store. The American Express is the original one and not the one by maybank

I have edited the first post for all 3 telco pricing.

I don't know if you either don't read what people ask or just too excited. Let me put in simpler terms for you to understand.

1. For now, it will be ONLY available for online apple store.

2. Epicenter, coffee shop or toy store DON'T carry the iPhone 4 at the moment!

3. Telco only sells phones via plans/contracts and NO unlocked iphone 4 will be sold.

4. No one knows if Epicenter will sell the iPhone 4. The 3GS from Epicenter is by Singtel. Singtel can choose if they want to sell the iPhone 4 at Epicenter tomorrow, 1 month from now, 4 months from now or maybe 50 years from now.

Wanted to say singapore telco will sell with contract and not unlock phone itself

The price will roughly be around there. Depends on the exchange rate for each day.

I called Apple Malaysia and spoke to 1 of the fella. He said, I can use American Express to buy the iPhone 4 and ship to singapore. The excuse used was, my son is studying in SG and I am from Malaysia. I would like to buy the phone for my son via online and ship to his house so he can claim warranty if anything goes wrong.

So I just tried to order my iPad camera kit via online store to test my American Express(Amex) and the process when through. I put the billing + shipping add to his house. They send an email regarding the camera kit and ETA is Aug 18. So I will see how it goes.

I try American Express because it is the safest for me But the weird thing is, he said I can use ANY malaysian credit card as long as the shipment is within singapore before he put down the phone. I personally have not tried yet. So why don't you make the first move and see how it goes

@jonathan82:
Original amex and not the one by maybank I guess you can't tell the difference between amex unlike other cards

I used the green one which can also be used for Uk online store. Card is registered under US. During the TT other day, I asked the iPhone 4 users and they said you can't determine an amex if it is from UK,US,SG or MSIA. Most of them use Amex to order online. So I am just trying out by buying the camera kit and see if it works. Order went through. So I will try again this Friday and see how it goes Just trying out to clear my doubt as well as the others here as well

@vin_ann: I think you can do so. She can use the plan with another phone. But the iphone 4 working here, I am not too sure.

You now see the power of singaporeans. They do anything to win and part of it is sell early.
They want to sell earlier than Aussie and NZ Scared of losing between the few countries who are going to sell tonight

I just ordered mine and it went through. But I won't get too happy yet. Later they cancel my order last minute. Got the confirmation email from apple

That is even better news. So I guess malaysian credit card actually works? 3 weeks will fly by fast
This should the "few" to make their first step

Actually it is not from the normal store. When you scroll down the page, you see Education, International and Business
When you click business, you can see the select button and I guess you can do it from there

Notice:

It is confirm. No more hidden stuff and related info.
The iPhone 4 is already on the SG Apple store. Both 16GB & 32 GB
16GB going for $888 and 32GB is $1048
Estimated waiting Time is 3 weeks.

2 Forummers tried with Malaysian CC and they got the confirmation
So we can only wait from now onwards and see how it goes

Yes, like all the above said. Don't simply whack the post code. Put it same as your shipping address. Then you are good to go. If not your iPhone will be ended up somewhere else. You will have 1 big problem

Yes. From what I know, GST is only available for airline passenger. What airline? As long you fly out of singapore
If you drive car,lorry,motorcycle,bumper car,scooter,caravan or even boat on roads. You can't claim back your GST
GST is only available if you use your credit card and you claim by yourself. No on behalf of this and that person

As I am writing this. I just passed Malaysian custom and no tax problem or etc. Brought back 2 iPhones and iPad. So for those who are scared. Don't be. Just chill and enjoy your phone while driving back

I just put the phone inside my bagpack together with my iPad. My iPad and my phone is also inside the bag together with the new toys I bought. They didn't even say anything. Only asked me to drive faster

The phone is from singtel. I am just a transporter actually. Mine is coming "soon"

I went around the whole day today and no sign of iPad. All sold out. So you can try your luck next week.

@inachi: Well, I guess his simcard was not activated. When I was using the iPhone 4 in singapore, I was using starhub as my provider.
No problems throughout my trip.
