Can I know wad are the difference between maxis, digi, USA, Hong Kong, Singapore iphone set? Why do they categorize it into all these?

Here are something I know about them...

1) Maxis iphone- you can buy it paying installment together with maxis plan. But does it mean you can only use it with maxis sim or anything else?
2)Digi iphone- similar understanding with above in digi context.
3)USA iphone- wad is this? means malaysia cant use or get warranty?
4)Hong Kong iphone- ?
5) Singapore iphone- ?

Why do they categorize it until like this? someopne mind explaining it to me please? Coz I wanna get an iphone soon and I hope i can has a grasp at some knowledge before getting one.

(1), (2): Both Maxis and DiGi sells factory unlocked iPhone, which means the iPhone can be used with any telco's MicroSim card.
(3), (4), (5): USA iPhone is factory locked phone, which means it can be only used with AT&T carrier sim unless you unlock it manually. Hong Kong & Singapore iPhone are factory unlocked iPhone, same like iPhone sold by Maxis and DiGi (you can use with any sim). For ALL iPhone, you can only claim warranty at the country it came from. Which means USA iPhone can only claim warranty in USA.

huiqing88 is correct. the bottom line is, buy local iphone. the reason ppl buy US / hongkong / singapore iphone is because the iphone was available in those countries earlier than malaysia. US got it in june (i think), singapore n hongkong in late august / early sept. no one can buy iphone in malaysia so they need to buy from those countries n bring back home.

the drawback is u can only claim warranty from the country u bought the iphone from. also, a lot of cases about those too eager yet uninformed buying US set and ended up cannot use their iphone in malaysia or any other country

now there's really no reason to buy oversea iphone

I got few questions to ask...

1) can I apply carbon fibers skin on my iphone and put it into a case? do people do it this way?
2) Do my iphone stop charging itself once the battery is full?
3) Is there any accesories which can enable me to charge it into the wall?

wanna ask one question ... coz it mgiht concern my monthly bil...

I am using maxis a subline from my family...

ok now this is the question... I went to a palce without any available wifi connection. but when I open safari and browse...Google... the page came out...

the page came out without any wifi connection...now my question is this...

1) Is it the internet connection came from maxis?
2)will maxis charge me for that?
3)if I had a wifi connection connected.... will i be using the wifi's internet when I switch safari on or i will still be using maxis internet even with my wifi connected?
4)how do I switch the maxis internet off to prevent them charging me further.... meaning switching the internet off forever. coz I scared I palyed some games which requires internet connection but I dunno that the game needs it....yet I played it anyway (without wifi) and maxis start charging for that. coz I heard my step sister's phone reach up to RM300 using internet without wifi.

Reset network setting from your phone.
Or worst come to worst try to restore the phone back.
Sometimes,a normal scripts crash could make up a hundred bucks.

Could be the WiFi router. Have you tested with more than one router?
