QUOTE(Drian @ Oct 12 2017, 10:56 AM) You'll need to pay Phone price +upfront price. Ok so if my calculation is like this,Monthly fees will be deducted form the upfront price until it turns 0. Phone price is NOT paid by installment, it is 1 time payment although you can convert it to installment on the credit card side. Iphone 8+ 256gb = 3488 = ~ 3700 after GST (fark gst btw) Contract = 98*24 = ~2350 Total = ~6050 Upfront rm700 deducted from monthly contract I assume? Compared to purchasing direct from Apple assuming Iphone 8+ 256gb = 4900 98*24 = 2350 Total = 7250 so I save about 1k++ then if I buy through Celcom? |

QUOTE(fordowner @ Oct 12 2017, 11:23 AM) ur phone line which obviously u already hv so for me if u buy from the aple store no need to add on 24months monthly bill pyment my current Celcom line rm50 (less data and voice) x24 = 1150..so in total just 4900  plus Iphone 4900, Total = 4900+1150 = 6k.. Might as well I upgrade phone and plan since Celcom subsidy quite worth it...I'm just taking calculation for next 2 years of phone usage.. |

QUOTE(OKLY @ Oct 12 2017, 01:39 PM) As long as you’ll make full use of the more expensive monthly plans, it’ll be worth it since you are going to use it anyway and at the same time get the phone subsidy. I did check the monthly plans but it looks like its the same price?Comparing with First Gold Plus, 40gb data + unlimited calls, its both RM98 for Iphone package and normal line... |

QUOTE(Hinoarashi9 @ Oct 13 2017, 08:08 AM) yup Hmm yea this is quite absurd even with gst taken into account.if they sell higher by RM100-200 I still can accept But now it's almost to RM800 more than the standard currency conversion Hell, even Samsung's Note 8, which is priced around $930 is still less than RM4000 but what can we do? We're always f*cked either end... |
