since you are looking for the 3G version, read up the first page of this thread (post 1 - 8) to determine the model number.

i've read em. i've tried searching in trade zone but most of them is secondhand and some the price is unreasonable. so any recommendations on where can i get it?

i don't think there are any leftovers from Maxis/Singtel (if you're looking for new & officially unlocked 3G 16GB)

Any slightest idea when will they restock again? xD

3G 16GB is considered obsolete. i don't think there are any brand new sets available anymore, anywhere. (except refurbished ones, for warranty exchanges)

what about the 8gb one? any shops in msia i can get officially singtel unlocked units?

why do you need Singtel units when Maxis ones are reasonably priced too? for more info on price and plans, head over to

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1091499

cause i wanna use prepaid. Rm100 is way more than my monthly prepaid usage. i've been repeating the question again and again. i just wanna know, anyone know where can i get officially unlocked singtel units here in msia or in singapore?

that's because you are not reading despite being told all over again?

if you read that link provided by teikwing, maxis is actually selling outright, unlocked iPhone 3G 8GB for RM1990.

hence if you opt for that, no one will give a tiny rat arse if you are on using more than RM100 per month or prepaid.

Added on August 16, 2009, 4:30 pmSingTel units are only obtainable via contracts and hence it will technically be a second hand unit (as you have demanded above) and by the time, the contract starts running, so has the warranty period.

only maxis and NOT SingTel that sells outright units.

if you bother to read properly (and not complaining the why others don't get it) and again from what nokia has mentioned, it's as simple as:

in order to obtain NEW Maxis iPhone 3G/3GS:
-> subscribe to contracted plans or
-> purchase outright (without contracts) via prepaid

in order to obtain NEW Singtel iPhone 3G/3GS:
-> subscribe to contracted plans ONLY

iPhone 3G/3GS from both Maxis and Singtel are officially unlocked.

ok, thanks for making it clear. i thought SingTel units doesn't require any contract before this.

Haha, I'm talking about the i3Gs xD Anyway, I dunno whether anyone has asked this before or not and I'm quite lazy to visit Maxis Website to look for it. Say now my postpaid is a subline from my brother's postpaid, can I signed up for the 1 year contract for the i3Gs 16gb while sustaining my current subline?

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1091499

yes. do note that you'll need your brother to tag along for registration and collection, or bring along an authorization letter.

I just went to an Apple authorized store. They tell me that I cannot purchase the iPhone with only hotlink user. They tell me that they now only sell with maxis user. Is this true?

at the moment, it appears so, as demand grossly exceeds supply.

for obvious reasons, maxis will stand to reap more profit from contracts as opposed to prepaid.

hi all,
how long we have to wait after pre-ordering with maxis?

@mr.anutta,
No one here can answer the question but at the moment, most forummers are saying Maxis is telling their customers 1 month.

thanks tinkerbel...
just keep waiting lor...hehehe

i got a question, if i buy iphone 3gs from maxis.. it is unlocked version right? so can use celcom digi simcard etc.. but what if i go to other country(egypt-i studied there) and use other simcard such as vodafone, etisalat, mobinil.. can the phone support this operator sim or not?

thx

You answered your own question - if it's unlocked, it's unlocked for ALL regions.
