QUOTE(vivian_w @ Mar 14 2009, 03:21 PM) My SE phone has a sticker that says COMSAT. Anyone heard of it before? Is it reliable and safe? I have a feeling it comes from Indonesia because it has "Indonesian" as an option in language. COMSAT is MALAYSIAN AP COMPANY...so far i heard this AP company is the worst in MALAYSIA |

QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Apr 13 2010, 12:16 PM) OK, my example may be going to far. But if you live in Penang and happens to be Kota Kinabalu and your phone needed repair, how then? Carry your warranty card and receipt everywhere you go? YES. !IDK if Nokia have new system that they can use your phone IMEI no. to verify it..? but the answer is YES.. you need to bring all warranty card/receipts |

QUOTE(budakdegilz @ Jun 3 2010, 05:29 PM) hmmm...AP and ORI ehh?? i also dont know what is mean by AP --maybe Approved permit what's really the different???  and can somebody told me what's "AP" means??? is it short name for "Approval Permit"??? and as this topic title..water set???is it not the same with AP set??? as i were told by many seller that AP set is "still" original right?? except there were distribute by unauthorized dealer... and they usually imports it "parts by parts" to void custom tax... means if you're really fussy buyer and giving a lot of attention to those product you purchased... by all means please avoid purchasing AP set...for your peace of mind sake!!!  water set =/  ]some AP set still original set from their country..some are not[or maybe yes] as we can see.. the differences is warranty... the original phone warranty is by the phone's company itself[Nokia/SE/Samsung/LG/etc..etc] but the AP phone warranty is by the AP company .. which is you cant get the speciality that original phone has... the original phone win in term of the service/warranty/updating/upgrading ..

QUOTE(cheebc @ Jun 6 2010, 06:45 AM) while AP is legal, the AP company pay taxes & import them to malaysia. but they take out the accesories and change it to some cheap one, including the casing of the phone, if not why u think they sell it cheaper than ori? Some Ap set still using original accesories.. maybe some of irresponsible seller.. take it out and replace using non original @ Grade A / Grade AAthey sell cheaper than ori because.. of the market price and it own value... yeah.. AP company pay taxes and import them.. .. and that also same like original phone too.. But.. as usual.. the market price for original will be higher.. [maybe they want profit] .. for example.. you bought Nike shoes from Nike retailers for RM 249 .. but.. you can get it cheaper from AL - Ikhsan.. which sells original too.. about RM 229 only[without discount] .. so... why do you think it is cheaper.. because.. the Nike want to sells it in higher price..[marketing and profit] .. actually.. the original phone can be at low price..[although not same as AP] ..but it has high in value.. the another reason is because of warranty.. the original phone provided with original warranty[warranty by Nokia/Samsung/Sony ercisson etc].. but AP phone is provided with warranty by AP company.. well.. you can know which is better right.. if something wrong with your phone.. the original phone can be replaced / if hardware.. replace by original hardware.. while AP company [as far as i know].. they are not provide changing phone / hardware.. replace by another hardware[maybe 2nd hand] and their service is suck.. so.. the original phone is sells higher because.. they provided with better warranty and services.. |

QUOTE(marchkingdom @ Oct 16 2011, 10:51 PM) I need some advise, my wife just bought a samsung phone today, but now we suspect it is not Ori, coze inside the sticker is Comsat. you are being cheated..We saw the seller put "Authorised Birghtstar reseller". We already asked the seller is this ori set? Can waranty thru Samsung Service Centre? "Ori" "Yes, yes, yes ...", "Waranty 2 years" etc .. As we found out more about the phone package box, we saw the waranty is "Australia/Nz" address. And the charger head is not for M'sia. Feel cheated, but not sure if we are right. Advise pls ..... ! Now I think I can confirm, IMEI number not same box vs phone. you need to make complain against them... it is confirm the AP set..  what and where the shop it is..?? |

QUOTE(danielcmugen @ Dec 18 2011, 12:10 AM) Any recommended AP company? Long time never heard of telstra, this company still exist? telstra still exist.. but wonder if Malaysian still import from Telstra..Telstra is from Australia QUOTE(danielcmugen @ Dec 19 2011, 03:07 PM) Big company also can gone? So any recommended ones known with good services? better go for ORI instead of AP  since the tax for smartphone is reduced.. the price is not much different + it is better to go for original.. |
