So the cheapest way to get an iphone 32GB with no contract.

Celcom exec i248 package: device price + upfront: RM 1738.00
Pay penalty for early termination: RM 500.00
Total: RM2238.00

RETAIL PRICE: RM2590.00
SAVING: RM352.00

Looks good. Better take advantage of this before they wise up.

BTW, are the iphones sold here locked to any network or can be used with any carrier?

+1 so smart

It's not locked to any carrier

In the event of early termination prior to the minimum subscription period, any upfront payment payable under this Program shall be forfeited.

your upfront will be forfeited, if you terminated it right after you pay for it
whats the point ?

who cares bout the upfront payment when u just want the phone itself

its cheaper than outright purchases like maxis did

another thing to check whether celcom will still charge for 1st bill & stamp fee or not.

you may want to double check for the upfront payment of 32GB iPhone in i248 plan
it is RM 720 (1year) and RM 1200 (2 year)

for 1 year to get an iPhone with this kind of method
RM 720 + RM 1288 + RM 500 = RM 2508 and in the other way round you may lost the warranty period for 1 year

for 2 year,
RM 1200 + RM 538 + RM 500 = RM 2238

Yes it is confirmed cheaper than the RRP @ RM 2590 but for me, i dont think worth it. iPhone warranty is very important

but if you are ok and celcom agree with this way of purchase, you may want to get iPhone 4 16GB at RM 1948 with i248 2 years contract, and you can sell it at RM 2150- RM 2190 and earn some SURE bucks from here

i thought the warranty still valid even if we terminate our contract!

Hi, not sure any 1 ask this before...i get 2nd celcom set from another forumer....is 2 years warranty. how to check if the unit comes with 2 years warranty. and if this unit got problem, can i bring to any center to claim with the warranty card? or like digi need 1st owner to claim for me?

yea, thats the main issue
and like previous one says, the first bill, either pro-rated or charged is another issue.

the waranty is valid for any Apple product, thats for sure, just that when we return the device for Celcom for replacement/repair, thats another story whether they will serve you since you are not their customer anymore

Warranty by Apple still valid, but extended warranty will be void.
From their T&C

so is no news on wwdc 2011 for new iphone then should i go 4 white iphone 4 or wait...

ofcoz they did not announce any new iphone yet bcoz iphone4 white had just been released by them...
but the introduction on 'iOS 5' should give a hint already that they are coming out with a new iphone soon, earliest maybe end of this year...
iphone4 is already good enough, i don't think they are coming out with a new design yet...
maybe just hardware upgrade like camera and processor, u know?? 3g-3gs so 4-4s..???
the 5th should be next year... well that is based on speculation..

btw, the iphone 4s speculation is also based on what the celcom guy said to me,
coz celcom sent their employee for iphone training before they sell apple product..
and when he mention iphone 4s and not iphone 5 as the next new one coming out, i was more convinced..
but still, the wait may take longer.. u know la steve jobs is perfectionist~

Go for white ip5

wait for another 1 year

No need to Wait Bro..
Iphone4 White already a Good Phone adi
Later Iphone 5 launch just consider it
Sell Iphone4 and get Iphone 5

i want ask about the package..

what is the benefit of buy with RPP (without contract) ?
how about the waranty?

i read comments above looks like the contract one is more cheap than RPP..

Yes ..
Plan better RPP
Why ?
1) No Bill Shock
2) 6000 Min Celcom to Celcom
3) Warranty ? Plan got 24 Month
4) White Iphone ----> Only for Plan

white iphone is only for plan ? are you sure?

ohh i just thought to buy one 16gb for RM2190..hurmm

I think you need to call them and ask 1st .
Due last time i ask , they only provide White Iphone by signup the Plan
