I bought my iphone 3g 16gb from ebay USA and the seller shipped to me, declaring the shipment as a used 'electrical gadget' with value of USD50. He also shipped a turbo-sim to unlock the phone.

POS Msia at Sepang handled the custom clearance for me at a fee of about RM50, but I had to get an AP Permit from SIRIM in Shah Alam, which cost me RM200. And I wasnt taxed.

Then POS Msia sent the shipment to a Pos Laju outlet in Cheras. I went there to pick up the package.

The total cost of getting the phone? RM2600 all costs inclusive.

Was it worth all the trouble? Yes and No.

Will I do the same thing again? No....I'd rather pay extra for an officially unlock iphone from singtel. hehehehehehe...
