the only way for you to get the mentioned price (yes, this is in reference to all you naive and silly individuals) is to have someone (and potentially ruin his/her credit rating) or have yourself travel all the way there on pretext to sign up a contract. (even so, they will require some short of identification or address as a proof)
otherwise, you just have to rely on dodgy sellers who God knows what illegal methods that they have installed ahead; using the mentioned technique or purchase straight from the factory etc. that will eventually jack the prices up to a skyrocketing level instead of the wah-so-darn-cheap-the-8gb-iphone-for-only-$199?
this is how the business world operates, so grow up will ya?

wow good and detail information which i've end up just a sentence , but this is known by everybody in mind . Well thx for the acknowledge .

Cheers ~

walao..     

chill man, let those loser with their world..

wonder how much they gonna forfeit if cancel the contract after 2 month usage... hmm

If the plan is $50 per month, then you'll need to pay 22 x $50 = $1100.
They will be blacklist you, which means you will have hard time to sign up again in the future.
The blacklist is shared by all telcos in the country.

Btw, you are only eligible to sign the plan if you are the country citizen, PR, holder of work permit/pass or etc.
You cannot simply sign the plan, pay for the forfeit and take the phone back to malaysia. 

That's ridiculous. Why would they blacklist you if you pay "22x $50 = $1100"? If you pay $1100, you would have paid whatever you would have owed them throughout the length of the contract.

To get out of a contract after 30 days, you just need to pay an early termination fee, which I believe is $175 after 1 month, and it gets progressively cheaper the further down the contract you are. I think if you sign up and cancel after a month, the total cost of the phone would be about $480. Of course, you would then have trouble signing up for another contract in the future if you do that.

it's just like those prisoners who just finished jail life, do you think he/she will get job like any other people?

i dunno your contract is refering to which company.
please refer here for singtel's termination policy.

The one I mentioned was for AT&T.

I went to the link that was posted and nowhere did it state that the customer would be blacklisted after fulfilling the termination clause. It would be logical if the customer is blacklisted if he/she fails to pay any overdue amount/termination fee.

However, if the customer pays the agreed termination fee, which in this case is whatever that would have been owed for the remainder of the contract, why should the customer be blacklisted? Your prisoner analogy is way off the mark in this case, I'm afraid. 

i didn't post the link for blacklist proof.
well,maybe i should say bad record instead of the blacklist.

haha..get the first gen 1 bro..

the new 3G 1? u had better wait...
