If i call my friends to buy at US then call him to courrier to here...then custom will wont be checking right?
so i can waived the tax and sirim...thn only paid the shipping fees~then will get more cheaper phone
correct me if i am wrong..

that mentality is too naive im afraid. the custom people are not retarded either. if you have dealt enough times with dhl, fedex, tnt etc, you can actually see on the form, the number of stringent controls that they have to go through. parcels from abroad usually arrive in klia during the wee morning hours and spend most of the time in the custom depot for clearance.


whats the point of even having a custom checkpoint if everyone can just declare their purchases abroad as "gift"? frankly speaking, i have friends all over the continents, but of course im not crazy enough to risk doing your proposed method.


of course, i dont deny that you might get lucky sometimes, but the risk to take is absolutely at your discretion.

According to Yahoo, Iphone will cost between $399 to $599 based on whether you sign the contract or not. So, those of you guys, who sold their phone thinking it will be available for $199, I feel really sorry for you:hug:

Here's the report

iPhone 3G on sale 8 a.m. July 11; no-contract iPhone on tap
Looks like we'll have to get up bright and early to buy the new iPhone. Also, AT&T says a "no-commitment" iPhone is "coming soon."

First things first: The new iPhone 3G will go on sale at 8 a.m. next Friday at AT&T retail stores and Apple stores. So if you're planning on lining up, you'd better be ready well before sunrise.

Also, AT&T has finally clarified pricing for current AT&T subscribers who want the iPhone 3G.

In a nutshell, if you're "upgrade eligible" (log into your AT&T account to see if you are), you'll be able to buy the new iPhone for the discounted price of $199 for the 8GB version or $299 for the 16GB model. (AT&T is somewhat vague about the eligibility criteria, although your credit history and the time remaining on your contract are factors.) You'll also have to pay an $18 "upgrade fee."

If you're not eligible for the discount, you'll have to fork over extra for an "early upgrade"-$399 for the 8GB iPhone 3G or $499 for the 16GB model. Ouch.

AT&T also says that a "no-commitment" (read: no contract) iPhone 3G will be available soon, at $599 for the 8GB version and or $699 for the 16GB handset. Pricey, but hey-no two-year contract.

Unfortunately, AT&T won't offer the new iPhone on a prepaid basis, at least not at launch.

Some other items: You will have to get your new iPhone activated at the store, and that means a credit check. So bring a photo ID and your Social Security number (especially if you're not yet an AT&T customer). If you want to cut down on the wait, you can go to an AT&T store now and take care of the credit check early.

There have been some rumors that current iPhone users could simply register the IMEI number of their new iPhone with AT&T clerks-meaning they could finish activating their phones at home. It's a nice idea, but so far, there's no indication from AT&T that such a plan exists.

As for the newly detailed rate plans, there aren't any surprises. Each plan comes bundled with unlimited data; $70 a month gets you 450 minutes and 5,000 night/weekend minutes, while a 900-minute plan with unlimited nights/weekends goes for $90. A 1,350-minute plan will cost $110 per month. Family plans are available, and business data plans will cost $45 a month (versus $30 per month for standard data in the bundled plans). Text messages are extra, too. Individuals pay $5 for 200 texts per month, $15 for 1,500 a month, or $20 for unlimited texting. For family plans, you'll pay $30 a month for unlimited messaging.


Guess that $199 price Steve Jobs announced for the iPhone 3G should have come with a massive asterisk, huh?

Australian iPhone pricing announced

Posted Jul 3rd 2008 11:00AM by Dave Caolo
Filed under: iPhone
Optus has released information on iPhone plan pricing for Australia. There are two options: post-paid and pre-paid.

The post-paid option includes what they're calling a "Cap Plan" and a "Yes Plan." The Cap Plan (all prices are Australian dollars) starts at $19 and offers 100MB of mobile internet data and $50 of calls and text, and maxes out at 1GB of data and $1500 of calls for $179.

All Cap Plans include free 20-minute voice calls to other Optus GSM mobiles in Australia (within hourly restrictions), and free 5-minute voice calls to phones on the same account, 24/7.

The Yes Plans start at $19 for 100MB of data and $14 of calls, and maxes out at 1GB of data and $144 of calls for $149. There are several text and rollover options for both.

The pre-paid options offer an 8GB iPhone for $729 and a 16GB phone for $849. These phones can be unlocked free of charge after six months, or for a $60 fee any time before then (including the time of purchase). So, totally unlocked iPhone 3G will be sold in Australia for $789 (the 8GB model) or $929 (16GB).
