Buying iPhones from the US now requires a Social Security number and a credit check. Social Security numbers are available only to American residents and a credit check is required to cover the whole package amount (iPhone price + 24 months plan + state taxes).


u sure? according to my cousin in US (he is a resident there) say i don need to register any plan to buy the phone... rclxub.gif

yups he should then every month individual plan is arond $40-50 so he will need to pay it for u...
unless u terminate the contract which is $200...
imagine $299 + $200 = $499
           
            $499 x 3.7= RM1,846.30 (not bad deal for an iphone...)

i thought is $199? $299 is for 16gb if i'm not mistaken...
Apple don't sell without signing any contract?

thz for the screenshot.. laugh.gif

so i hv to use other sim card like digi, etc? unsure.gif


QUOTE(psyeo @ Mar 23 2009, 07:27 PM)
NZ Vodafone use to lock their APN setting as well (did the same experiment when i first i got my phone) if u wanna change the APN that way, it is easy, just swap it with another "non-official" service provider sim card (can do it while the phone is on) then go edit the APN setting to anything u want, and then swap back to "official" carrier sim card. Wala APN changed.

Another new method was mentioned in another thread, which is simply to change the .ipcc file via iTunes (Carrier update)

hmm.gif

so i take out my sim card while the pon is on and change it to another sim card other den maxis?
