certain shop huh...? well clearing some old stock i pressume... i guess wht the guys said are true....
its had finding the optus iphone prepaid in australia now....

i'm not sure about other part of Australia

but here at gold coast,so far i found one optus shop that still sell outright of iphone

was thinking to getting one when i come back in march,and 899AUD is not that expensive aslo

really not expensive.... honestly....

hello all! I am not sure whether I suppose to post the question to this thread. Anyway, just wanted to give it a shot. Yesterday I went to a phone shop at PJ. The sales lady told me that all Iphone 3G will not function for maxis / Digi / Celcom, so no point buying an Iphone 3G phone. Is this true? Instead she recommends me to buy the Iphone 2G.

There's no problem using the 3G iPhone with our local telcos. As long as you purchase the units that's recommended on the first post of this thread.

So I assume the 3G video calls will work as well?

eh bro ah bro
read the specs
got say anything about front camera or not?

the the sales lady correct lah... cannot use 3g video calls... hahahahaha its 3g alright my friend.... but its only for 3g data.... hope u're clear about this...

good thread!
now i want to promote mine here LOL

Most probably she wants to clear her iPhone 2G stock...

Works completely fine for me.

Picked up a fully unlocked 3g from a Czech Vodafone shop, as well as a bottle of absinthe too.
It was about 15,000 Czech Koruna, which is about RM2,700, but there's a instant cash VAT back at the airport of about 1,700 Koruna which makes the phone about RM2,400. No issues with the phone at all here.

i am wondering if anyone can help me. i will be in australia for a week in feb, and i heard that it will take up to 10 days for the telco to send the unlock code. I am wondering if i will still be able to receive the code, and hence unlock the phone if i am out of australia.

I know there is the yellowsnow thing out, but i prefer to have the telco unlock it for me. Thanks in advance.

eventhou it said 10 days to unlock.. actually its less than 10 days... but how arethey going to contact u? got friends frm aussie?

i am planning to get the prepaid one from Optus and another one by signing up for a plan as my sister is going to be studying there. For the one on prepaid, i think they are going to contact me using the prepaid number isnt it? I have to sort this one out before i go over, as if it takes up to 10 days, i might ask someone to get it for me first.

from my past experience... it is less than 10 days.... so dont worry about the day... its just a roughly figure....

wish u luck....

thanks man, i hope all will go well.

hi all...is it easy to unlock the US version of Iphone 3G..?plan to buy one for me..is it compulsory to sign a contract with AT&T in USA..?

wakao... now this is nice nice info....

considering an asking a close family at ausie to get an optus package for the phone...

converted at the current exchange rate... shud be around rm2.2k for 16gb 3g unit

Great guide mate.. I'm just one more step closer!

Does the Iphone 3G comes with mono or stereo built in speakers?
