Are you sure Vodafone Australia offers no-contract 3G iPhones at that price? I dont see a pricetag when I go to their webpage.

Hey mangkuk, I was quoting iPhonegizmo on his plan on getting iphones from Vodafone Australia. Get off your Optus orgy and learn to read yourself.

Here's a screenshot , aptly named, so that you can read better. Apparently being in Australia does not help in your reading comprehension much. rolleyes.gif

Hi All Tech Geek.

Firstly i don't own any apple product or known much of it technology. One thing for sure, i kinda like this IPhone3G. Would you mind to tell me how to buy it and use it without any restriction towards any telecommunication in malaysia? Im willing to pay for the amount.

I appreciate any input from you.
Thank You.

P/s: Mind to tell me all the unfamiliar words that i see in this forum? Example : iliberty and etc. smile.gif

How's the scene in Melbourne? The rostering department is really going crazy these days, at one time everytime can get Melbourne or Australian nightstop, at every other time, want to get AUS or NZ pun susah! Just passed the East Asia phase, and coming to Europe phase. My eyes are not blue enough to get nightstop places that I want....sigh....

And you need a single 32GB NAND chip to do that. The iPhone doesnt have enough cavity space to house two slabs of NAND chip like the Touch. The 16GB version is already costing a fortune, I cannot imagine what a 32GB would be priced like. Twice the current price? shocking.gif

The epitome of my obsession of getting the 3G model itself. icon_rolleyes.gif

On second thought, the 3G model is a little fatter, so it may be possible. As for the price....well, market dictates, i guess.

Wow, looks like this launching-officially-in-multiple-countries concept is getting way messy, what with all the unlocking terms, contract subsidies, and the actual price of the unit itself varying greatly from place to place...

But looks like the messier it gets, the harder it is for Apple to keep their phones locked to the official carriers heheh
There must be a loophole in all of this rolleyes.gif

It is not messy really.

iPhones now are either sold with or without contract. Without contract iPhones are priced between RM2700-2900, and in limited countries only. The mess is from the iPhones that are tied with contracts.

People,

Some update on buying a prepaid Iphone 3G from Optus. I have asked my friend who is in Wollonggong, Australia to get me the phones through this means. Based on his conversation to the people in Optus. They don't sell the iPhone without plan. This is also reflected in their website now. The previous link which was posted on this thread is dead too. Redirected to this page. http://www.optus.com.au/iphone

So anybody in Australia can confirm this situation?

They also change the unlocking procedure, now its free. Just call them.

My quest for the elusive aifontriji is getting harder....haih....

Yup, I can confirm that Optus has stopped selling outright iPhones. Whether it's a permanent move is still uncertain.

I've posted it before, but here it is again:

Certain price changes implemented earlier this week has increased the cost. Cheapest options are now as follows:
8GB: 12 month $29 Yes Plan. Total cost including termination fees= AUD900
16GB: 12 month $29 Yes Plan. Total cost including termination fees= AUD1020

AFAIK unlocking was always free for postpaid customers. The $80 was for prepaid customers who wanted it unlocked before 6 months were up.
