hope this help...

hey folks,

i just wanted to know is there such thing called as an officially unlocked UK iPhone. i searched o2 there are no such things but i called Maxis today and they told me that if you buy from the apple retail shop in UK it can be used here. Help?

All UK, US iPhones are locked to carrier. As for Maxis customer service, they don't have the slightest idea of what they are saying. Please read the first post for more info.

Please do a search before openinga new thread.

Thank you.

Cheers

can anyone help me? i am so confused with all the complications of getting a legally unlocked iphone 3G. Budget is 2700 for a 16GB set..
im not staying in malaysia, im in Brunei at the moment. could u see if this set is okay?

http://www.qqestore.com/product_info.php?c...oducts_id=14369

it states that "This is an original Apple iPhone set which is SIM-FREE version (no need to "unlock" for it to work) by Apple. It works for any telco globally including DSTCom and B.Mobile" but i dont know.. i heard so much stories about i3gs getting bricked when updating the firmware cause the phone was not legally unlocked in the first place and i DONT want this to happen.

This phone is a bit pricy compared to those in malaysia but i do not mind as it has 1 year warranty compared to those i have seen in low yat (i went there last month). so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

AFAIK, iPhone hasn't been launched officially in Brunei yet. hence i have no idea on how the so-called warranty will work to be honest

I would suggest also that you ask for the 'iPhone 3G Part Numbers'. Cross reference the number with the link below.

Hi All,

I am newbie to Iphone, i just bought an iphone in lowyat plaza, the salesman told me is fully unlocked version and it costs me 2700. but due to i am so new to iphone, after i reached home only i found that the iphone is a Australia IPHONE. even the adapter is autralia pin.

worst part is, i cannot open the Itune and Appstore, pop up message said 'Itune is not supported in this country' - i assume is sayng about Australia.

can somebody advise me?

Regards,
ttc

Try creating a local iTunes account and then synchronise your iPhone again via iTunes. Should that remains unsolved, please post your concerns here again.

Thanks Nokie2003, it works and i can put some song to my iphone using the Itune.

But still, i am not able to connect directly to Itune using my iphone as it said 'not available in this country'.

I would like to inform all to-be Iphone user when you purchase an iphone especially at lowyat plaza, please becareful with the salesman, check the part number in the iphone and check at apple.com.

too bad i forgot to get any receipt from the salesman, and i went back to lowyat the other day they insists it's singapore fully unlocked iphone but unfortunately i don't have internet with me at that time so i can only check it once i reach home, and it is really a aussie iphone!

it's really a bad experience and don't think i want to purchase handphone in lowyat plaza anymore as most of the handphone salesman looks underage and try to con ppl. such a dissapointment..

Hi bros...

do anyone know how much does a Iphone3G cost in Singapore ? No plan required. Just a 3G 8G/16G...

try googling hardwarezone (singaporean version). take a few prices from different sellers and then take an average?

May I know, where is the cheapest Iphone i can get ( not locally)

b'coz I got friends in UK, Australia, HK, NZ, all of them might coming back this year. So I would like to call them to order 1 or few unit for me.

guys.. WTA..better buy from maxis or just get from any shop and jailbreak? since i can get the iphone 3g for RM1300.

Hi, based on the posts on the 1st page of this thread, i think you should be able to come up with some calculations on which is the cheapest and how to get them...

in my opinion i think the NZ one is the easiest and cheapest to get now. the NZ exchange rate is not that high either.... anyone please correct me if i'm wrong or if you know of a cheaper alternative...hehe

cheers!

Whilst pricing is a factor, you should also consider the warranty aspect. If there is a problem with the phone, having it taken back to those far away countries can be a hassle. So getting it from Singapore(which you can buy from one of the many resellers here who also helps in taking the phone for repairs/replacement) may be a better alternative though you have to pay a little higher, albeit not that much.
