Locked, or unlocked? If unlocked, unlocked to the 3 Singaporean telcos or free-for-all?

SG will be unlocked. IDA doesn't approve telcos to sell locked phones

Yes, unlocked, but to what extent? Unlocked to only the three telcos, or foreign sims included? From the current pattern of the term "unlocked" in Europe , which also holds to the fact that they dont approve selling locked phones, their "unlocked" iPhones are only unlocked to use with the said country telcos only. If this is the case, Malaysia will still be locked out.

honestly i don't know why apple is doing this. how about those frequent travellers? they'll need to bring their phones everywhere they go. makes no sense to me.

if you ask me, i think it makes more sense that the iphones in sg will be unlocked, not restricted to any networks. i suppose no one can confirm this until the iphone is launched in sg.

One word: Roaming.

Telcos make money from this. I dont think want to let go of this cash cow when it is now a generally accepted practice.

that's true. i forgot all about roaming!

cos i'm seldom in asia, i have a post-paid sim card in aus. and when i'm back in asia, i get myself a pre-paid card.

locking to the country's networks will only mean more work for the staff but of cos more $$$

btw, u tried yr iphone with all msia's sim cards?
