IMO, i would suggest u to get set directly from Maxis/ Digi. You might ask why: 1) local warranty 2) greater value if u take their package 3) official unlock set (does not requires unlock) hope it helps. Cheerio

Thanks. Yes it is software unlock ones. I dont think you can made it to official unlock phone. Further, i2g has been discontinued for so long. Who is going to do for ya? Unless u might wanna consider local hardware technician.

Thanks in advance Firstly, this is irrelevant to the topic. And celcom does not carry iPhones, only Maxis and DiGi do for now. You can find an entire list of pricing and payment plans on their websites if you bothered to even check.

Thanks in advance last checked, those 'ridiculously' priced iPhones, don't fluctuate much from HTC, blackberry, nokia et cetera prices. of course we are comparing apples with apples here (pun intended). as in, I'm implying other manufacturers' smart phone equivalents. not those nokia 3210...

Thanks in advance ok... i fixed it for u.... and further more ure in the wrong topic.... ok now its on the right thread... thanks DG and also i like to add that ive bought my iphone 3gs from maxis outright and as the compliment they give me a one month free 500mb data for a year and free airtime for a year too... when i calculated back, i saved really2 alot from my purchase.... i dont know about u but i think its worth it...

@raisins, It's not even out hence how would we know what the prices are but if indications from the USA are to be used a benchmark, it would be about the same price as when i3GS was launched.
Please refer to the FAQ or read the iPhone 4 thread.
