My father friend has ppl travel to HK frequently......
but what is the way to buy it? walk in cannot ar?

not sure they have address at HK

not sure if apple HK will ship the phone to hotel...i've read about when buying in HK you can pay by cash and bank in directly to apple's account and they'll ship it to HK address. looks like a good news, still googling for more informations...

as i mention before in my previous post, there is no way for you to wlak into a retail apple shop to purchase the iphone.... walk-in is only available for subcribing to 3 HK iphone packages.....

to purchase online, u nid a hk-issued credit card and a hk delivery address...

if u wish to pay via bank transfer or cash deposit or cheque, then u nid call the apple hk tollfree to order the iphone...... online purchase is only for credit card....

not sure bout if they sending the package to hotel address..

that hard huh? well i guess cheap always come with some price.... bnot really cheap thou... but still...

i'm aware of that, after some readings on various forums and apple's website it seems that the only way to purchase is to phone order, then cash deposit and they'll ship it. what i worry is they don't have stock to ship and might not ship on time cause i only go there for less than a week...guess still have to pray hard or have friend over there to help out.

After the pricing is the same as New Zealand. Should be a good buy.

i'm getting mine tomolo... courtesy of my hk frenz.......

ordered it on monday noon.... online purchase...

it takes two business days to deliver as today is holiday in hk...

congrats bro...

thx, mate..... now downloading the itunes 8 to activate the phone....

Got my iPhone 3G from HK!

Everything works well!

mind to share your experience on how to get the HK iphone 3G ??

Care to read this thread from page 1 before asking??

I was asking him to share with us in details... rather than just 'surface' things

Owh.. That will be interesting.. Too bad I'm not visiting HK anytime soon

if @eteractive can share with us some details info on how to manage to get iPhone 3G from HK, there will be another options for forumers here that wish to get it.

@Shoki
Not only HK... u still have S'pore as your alternative option

I have no friends/relatives in SG to help me sign contract

head to S'pore some malls as some forumers suggested to grab the iPhone 3G without signing contracts... sure it will be more expensive though

Sorry for the late reply


How I got it? Hehehe.

You will need to purchase it via HK Apple Online Store (no contract required). First of all, you will need to send it to a HK address (my friend is working there).

To my surprise, they accept Malaysia Citibank VISA credit card. It will take 1 working day to process the payment and the next day, it will ship the item. I purchased on Saturday and my friend got it on Tuesday since Saturday and Sunday is non-working day.

That's about it. Remember, different banks will have different exchange rates also different day


Any more things you guys want to know?


When you got your phone, just place your sim card and just activate it via iTunes. It will work fine!

got mine from HK as well! Everything's fine.

A credit card with Malaysian address is just fine. Ordered mine using my local credit card, got it shipped to a HK address and whoala... the phone is yours!

wow, great news indeed! so can purchase using local credit card!
