this model is fr maxis set MB046LL???? bcos just claim the new i3g device come with this model.

@sugen,
Since this one is a refurbished unit from the USA, I will not put down the codes in the front.  I guess we now have to find another way to determine if the phone is unofficially unlocked; maybe we'll need to do a physical check?

@PeeEl,
But that tells U the Warranty Coverage, it doesn't tell you whether your phone is locked or unlocked.

3) Verify that your iPhone is genuinely unlocked
To check if your iPhone 3G is legit and is not a fake factory unlock look up on the iPhone under (Settings). The items list you should have there is Airplane Mode, WiFi, Carrier and Fetch New Data. As for the fake unlock iPhone 3G units, the 'Carrier' item is missing. If it is missing, you have been conned and if for some reason you already paid for it and there is no turning back, do not proceed to upgrade your iPhone firmware to FW2.2 as it will render your phone useless. A bit more info on this here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/959711/+820

Need some advice here. I just got my Ip 3gs from Maxis. but I noticed I only have Airplane Mode and Wifi in items list. I failed to locate
Carrier and Fetch New Data. Does it mean my unit is not genuinely unlocked?

Is the iphone headset jack originaly got cover or the hole just shown like that?

Thanks!

3Gs have the same problem with locked phone also? or just 3g?

Well i dont want to take a risk too

Oh ok. Im interested to get iPhone 3G 8GB. Do you think i can get this around rm1200 used set?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to purchase an iPhone 3GS with an iValue plan while trading in your old mobile phone?

Basically I want to get rid of my old phone while buying the iPhone to offset the cost and take advantage of the maxis discount on the 24 month contract. I know I could sell it here on LYN but I'd rather just offset the price of a new phone then look for a buyer.

Anyone with any details?

Cheers mates. Peace

Oh I quite realise that it's not a phone shop or a trading house. However, I believe they have MEP stores right? Which double up as run of the mill mobile phone shops. I was merely wondering if anyone had encountered an instance where a shop had allowed them to trade a mobile phone in as to offset the price of an iPhone on contract.

You can understand why I had considered this as we live in Malaysia, a place where many a thing is possible be it aboveboard or underhanded. I simply thought someone might have encountered such a store.

I do not think my question was excessive in nature, I was genuinely curious. Albeit tart, thank you for your answer.

Cheers.

EDIT: Corrected a grammatical error.

for some reasons (possibly due to circulation of refurbished units) apple has decided not to publish these model/part numbers anymore.

basically, if you restore your iPhone as a new phone and still use any sort of supported GSM sim cards, it is extremely likely, that you are tentatively holding an unlocked unit.

Yeap according to the dealer it is a HK set.  It came with a 3 pin plug head charger which i believe the same used in m'sia, singapore and hong kong.

Can we recap on the HK set. Is it the same one sold at china mainland phone shops? All units are supposed to be officially unlocked right?

What about the news that wifi and/or 3G disable for china iphones? Is this true?

to understand the situation with regard to the iPhone in china better, kindly read this article; How Apple And IPhone Blew It In China

a rather interesting piece

Learnt my lesson it's better for you to take Maxis unit otherwise u will be fakap with warranty if got problem

AT & T set will not be entertain even though it have warranty in USA . Apple in Malaysia will not entertain for repair

outright? meaning new prepaid registered user? if existing hotlink user will maxis link the sales of the iphone?

my friend is selling me US 3gs 16G , she say it's already unlock ? can i buy the unit? pls advice....
if i buy this unit, any problem of using it ?

I'd like to inquired about buying iphone . one of the forumer  selling his iphone3g white with IS already applied. but the back of his iphone have blue shadow but not visible. he claim that it happened to Invisible shield and  not back cover. but he doesnt allow me to peel off Invisble shield. So is it possible to happen on invisible shield only. plz suggest me to buy it or not.  thanks in advance

@alvinchan
Where do you here that heat issue is a common problem for iPhone and cause discoloration on the back cover?

It's known back then that the "so called" discoloration from heat is actually a color transfer from the case thats the users are using.

If i were the seller, I would not let you peel off the IS too. What if you pull it off and decide not to buy?

@PeeEl
That's why i said "if i were the seller".
