No so good for those looking Non-contract iphone 3g.


BUT from FAQ


Network
1) Will the SIM be locked to SingTel?
The handset will be preset to the SingTel Network. Phones not connected to the SingTel network will not be supported by SingTel.

2) Will my iPhone work with a StarHub or M1 SIM?
It may work but you may not enjoy the same iPhone experience as SingTel only supports iPhone 3G devices that are connected to SingTel’s network.



Well??? How bout that?

It's locked !!!!

Weeeeeeee...

they hv left us in a grey area ya...
din choose to say clearly tat is locked or nt

Most probably will be locked. Hopefully not so exp, so locked units prices will drop ^^

is the site really slow?

cant really go into singtel's site

Me too.. Cant access the site

Yeah what the hell does it mean by 'It might work on the other networks but may not enjoy the same experience'..?!

It means that maybe some functions may only work with Singtel, like Visual Voicemail for example.

Also the words they use may point towards it being locked to Singaporean carriers only. Sims may be interchangable between Singtel, Starhub and M1, but only between those three.

I just looked at the pricing for SingTel iPhone 3g.. It crushed my hopes T.T

Which is the reason I posted that it will never cheap in the first place. People who are banking their hopes on Singaporean iPhone to be cheap are just deluding themselves. It is nice to dream, but I'd rather stick my feet on the grounds of reality.

Think of it common sense lah, who wants to rugi? If the SG iPhones are the cheapest in the world, everybody would be rushing to Singapore to get them. Not just Singaporean neighbouring countries, but everywhere else. That would seriously deplete the local stocks there and anger the locals about their supposed stocks going outside their country.

I'd venture a guess that they would make it hard for outsiders to purchase their already limited stock. Who are we except outsiders to them, they must cover their own people first before any thoughts for anyone outside their country. It is only right and fair.

I see people selling 8gb locked for about 3k++ in M'sia.

But it can be bought at Switzerland(for example) 559 chf(including 40chf for sim card).. Roughly RM1.7k onli..

Disappointed with M'sia telcos

this circumstances not so clear .

Can't expect much thou..

I believe there is no sim lock but lock apn setting, that is mean u cannot utilise 3G. But the problem now, they not sold phone only. Unless, there is other way to get iphone only. But for now, just forget it.

i think hte price they charge is still reasonable, no?

Too bad I dont go to Zurich anymore. But I've looked around the net for requirements for getting Swiss iPhones, you will need a valid residential address and proof of residence in Switzerland before they will sell you one. I could get a few of my Swiss friends to help, but I dont go Zurich anymore.

Even if it is clear, how are you planning to get past the "No iPhones unless you subscribe a plan" problem?

u dun fly to swiss liao? nice place there, i like

OT:

I used to go there. Zurich is not too bad, nice picturesque city, but not my type. Too slow lah the life there. If you want to retire, that place may be the city for you, but I want to LIVE!

Skiing off Swiss Alps, staying in a farm, or even living in Zurich itself is too slow a life for me.

OT as well, ya, wife always wanted to be there wen we are old, but tats too far for us to think now, and u have always been a disney kaki

OT:
When old yes, but not when I'm still young. Slowing down is not an option. I still have a bunch of things to do on a checklist before settling down.

have fun and enjoy living out ur life bro

My uncle is at Swiss now.. But he'll only be back in a month or two. I asked him to help me check. He say he can get it, but he refuses. According to him, "wait till maxis bring la! sure cheaper and safer + got warranty"

Triple swt swt swt..

Wahh, maybe your uncle kawtim with maxis

He so busy with his business I also dowan disturb him ler.. I wait 1 more month onli decide how lar.... Maybe have to try force him xD
