i would like to ask when ip4 white version will going to release.. hehe wait too long jor

hey guys.

was planning to get an iphone4 soon (maybe next month or so).

for me, i don't really make much calls (less than 60minutes a month), mostly smses (average 300-500 a month to different telco) and mms (1 or none a month).

so i decided to purchase the iphone4 without digi or maxis plan because i think that its not worth to pick a plan as my usage isnt that beneficial for me.

therefore, i'd like to ask whether is my decision right?

and if i would purchase a non contract iphone4, should i get it at maxis centre or those shops that sell iphone? but if i purchase the iphone out of maxis, i wouldn't get the free one-year data. and as i've checked, shops that sell iphone usually sell at higher price rather than the RRP price which is rm2290 for 16gb and rm2690 for 32gb.

hope someone could help me to make a right choice. thanks

should be launching in june. expect to reach malaysia maybe september/october

ur usage seems quite high to me haha. like this lah, assuming u're using postpaid...how much is ur bill per month? take that number, add the cost of a data plan (u need one, dun tell me u dont) whichever u think is appropriate n total it up. take that number, multiply by 12 or 24 months, then add the RRP iphone price

next, browse maxis/digi website, find a plan that suits ur usage (focus on calls n sms). calculate how much u'll pay in the course of 12/24 months for everything

then just pick whichever is cheaper (assuming both network performance is good in ur area)

whoops! my bad. i only call out less than 60mins a month. sorry, typo error.
so yeah, i'm using the hotlink youth club prepaid plan which serves me very well. i use almost rm30 for a month. coz it's very cheap to call out and sms. so for me, i thought of keeping my prepaid plan and buy the iphone without contract. and maxis gives free data for a year when purchase at RRP without contract.

so is it wise to choose like that?

I'm currently on hotlink youthclub with iPhone free 500mb plan. I would say that this suits me best. A reload of RM100 could last me 3 months ~ half year. (I'm also light user, and I don't need data plan actually).

If you're on YouthClub, I suggest you to keep the plan cause its no longer available now.

I would like to get http://www.digi.com.my/iphone/getone_want_...ne_payment.html
and on installment plan from maybank...
I dont have Credit Card but only have a Debit card if it helps from maybank....
Will I have to face any hidden charges or anything ?
When subscribing how much do I need to pay at the time of signup in RM and interested in getting i88

ohh if rm30 a month then u should get it outright that was my 1st choice actually, but at that time maxis dun want to sell me ip4 outright 500mb is more than enough

is it true? sifus pls confirm this please.

true, some ip4 users here are on this plan. but seems like maxis isnt really open about it some branch say never got such plan lol

Hi guys - plan to get a iphone4 16gb - but dont plan to get it from digi / maxis as i dont want the plan

dont plan to get it thru forums too as i feel it's risky

where else can i get it from ? and how much is the selling price ?
Machines, ? where else ?

thanks =)

if u think buying from forum is risky and dont want to bind to maxis/digi contract, http://www.apple.com is the best for you.

u can try find local shop that sell sg set u go to lowyat plaza got many lo
but must be aware for ulocked set

some maxis branch can sell u just the phone w/o plans. rm2290 and rm2690 for 16gb n 32gb respectively

if u buy from forum/phone shop, apart from the usual inspection, make sure it's an unlocked set. check the model number n refer to the pinned purchase guide

u have no idea don't you?

yes i'm on YouthClub. very happy using it. so i guess, i'll just stay on with this and get a non-contract ip4. can i know which is more worth getting? the 16gb or 32gb? i know many ppl say that its actually up to my usage, but sometime i think that i may regret if 16gb is not enough. but for me the price is already to expensive. therefore, i need recomendations.

maybank debit card can buy iphone4 with installment payment ?

Difficult to recommend lar... If now recommend you buy 16GB one later you find not enough you come blame me how
Money wise lar... depends on your budget lor...
For me 16GB is more than enough, I only sync about 1.5GB of songs, 1GB of photos, 4GB of apps and that's all... I don't really play those "big" games on iPhone... the screen too small and the gaming experience still not so satisfying la... LOL and battery drain very fast when playing 3d games = =
So I only play those mini/puzzle games and some useful/utility/daily apps on it... so basically they won't consume too much capacity...


but... I'm using 32GB one... current usage: 21GB available/29.1GB total

i have about 4gb of songs. i dont put any videos on my iphone, n i dont sync any photos into it, just the camera photos n screenshots. for apps, once i'm done with it i'll simply delete them. currently using 10 out of 14gb available (16gb iphone)

Anyone from Kedah or Penang, know where to get outright IP4 from Maxis..any maxis centre..

Or, any shop selling IP4..

Objective: To buy iPhone 4 without any contract and used in China (GuangZhou)

Confuses:
I ask several experts and many giving me different answers.
Some say we need to do jailbreak and unlock so that the phone can used in China Telco.
Some say unlock is not necessary, it may compatible with other country.
Some say to unlock the iPhone must perform jailbreak as prior.

Questions:
1) Where can we buy iPhone 4 without any contract?
2) Do we need to jailbreak or unlock the iPhone so that it can used in other China Telco?
3) Can we unlock the iPhone without jailbreak? If yes, how?

1. only from Maxis. even then, many places prefer to sell with contract, cos they get commission for that.
2. Not for Malaysian iPhones.
3. no.
