I don't know if this deserves are new topic, but given the rampant speculation over iPhone prices I figure I'd post the cheapest rate plans overseas with how much data you get and the outright prices just to give an idea of how much it would cost.

I will update this as new plans/prices are announced. I'm only including the cheapest prices because I can't be stuffed getting every price.

The prices shown are all officially announced, no rumored prices. All prices are converted to AUD as of 29/06/08. Prices do not include any tax that is not included in the advertised price.

go install converter and update the currency... lol~

Swiss ones seems to be the cheapest... but i am looking forward to singapore release...

yup me too

Thanks a lot. five more days.

wait for singapore price only decided...maybe will more cheaper.

$19 plan in australia with 12months? sounds a good deal

Yup, thinking the same way too...

Just few questions on my mind...can we use the phone with our local network without unlocking? How much to unlock and is there already service to unlock the phone in Malaysia?

Don't forget you need to pay $612 for 8GB or $732 for 16GB

5 days left and O2 still has not send me any notification on the pay as you go price plan

buy first , unlock later. If u buy when unlock available that time sure they will increase their price.

unlock ur own and warranty void ! this point that we gotta take some concern .

Does Apple Malaysia provide any "legit" unlock service?

nope...
not a chance. all unlocking iphone is consider warranty void.

Well, there is one more way; you could actually ask the telcos to unlock it for you. But that will surely cost a lot and not all telcos provide such policy...

Any idea how much? i mean the unlocking service?

first of all, there is not official apple stores in malaysia.

I don't think telcos will unlock the phone so u can use outside of their network. Thats the reason they lock it in the first place. Unless u have an inside man to do the job. The phone now is just un-subsidized but still locked to the telcos network.
