You can go to apple.com and try to check it out.. try to select the iphone 5 and see whether it is unlock or not.. i went to try at apple.com (US store), it stated there unlocked.. so i assumed.. now all the iphone are unlocked.. i assumed.. |

No tax n duties in msia Worst hold by custom n you need to go to sirim shah alam pay rm100 for sirim permit. Than go to custom n have it clear out Better use fedex or dhl to sent n pay fedex /dhl to clear for you probably another rm50 service

I'm just wondering, all of those that intend to buy from overseas, isn't warranty an issue at all? Yes you get the phone faster and possibly cheaper and without contract in Malaysia, but what if something goes wrong? Or is it not a concern at all possibly lol

QUOTE(llsphinxll @ Sep 28 2012, 09:52 AM) ok i consider myself someone who is very careful with my phone. the iP4 that i have used for 2 years never had a crack or any physical fault with it. but currently, after using the new iP5 for about a week, the chrome (middle) part of the phone, the paint is already coming off. aihs. its quite frustrating and making me not wanna take care of the phone anymore, after a week. and the paint comes off even more at the charging port area, where the connector would scratch around to find for the 'hole'. hope there will be a programme by apple to fix this? mayb like free bumper like they did to address the antenna issue of the iP4.  Bro, can post picture please? |
