All you need to do is drop in at a select Vodafone Store between August 20 and 21 and confirm your booking by paying Rs 10000 through cash or credit card. Don't forget to show the iPhone booking SMS, which you would have received from us, when you visit the Vodafone Store to make the deposit.

Rs 31,000 = RM 2400

Rs 36,100 = RM 2750

No so good for those looking Non-contract iphone 3g.

BUT from FAQ

Network
1) Will the SIM be locked to SingTel?
The handset will be preset to the SingTel Network. Phones not connected to the SingTel network will not be supported by SingTel.

2) Will my iPhone work with a StarHub or M1 SIM?
It may work but you may not enjoy the same iPhone experience as SingTel only supports iPhone 3G devices that are connected to SingTel’s network.

Well??? How bout that?

Where to get an unlocked iPhone 3G in Asia

By Damian Koh

Jul 17, 2008

The iPhone 3G dust may have settled in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and New Zealand, but India, Macau, Singapore and the Philippines are still waiting for the shipment units to arrive later in the year. Now before you board the next flight out to get your hands on the iPhone 3G, there are some things you should know.

iPhone 3G in Asia First of all, although it is possible to buy the handset without signing up for the data plans, that generally means you pay more upfront. The good thing is you won't be locking yourself in a particular telco for the next two years.

Secondly, you'll need to check if the handset is SIM-locked to the carrier. If the telco doesn't provide any option for you to legally unlock the phone, then your chances of getting the iPhone 3G to work with other SIM cards are probably moot.

The last thing you'll have to do is activate the handset via iTunes in the country you bought it in. You can't, for example, buy the iPhone 3G in Australia and activate it in Japan.

At this time of writing this article, the iPhone 3G from Telstra (Australia) and SoftBank (Japan) are SIM-locked (officially anyway). Which leaves us with Optus (Australia), Vodafone (Australia and New Zealand) and Hutchison Telecom (Hong Kong) to work with.

We've done the legwork to calculate how much it will cost you to get an unlocked iPhone 3G in Asia. So if you want to know how much it will cost you, read on. We used the Bloomberg currency converter to convert the costs to US dollars for the final prices, so you can get a better overview of what's available in the different countries.

3 Hong Kong | Optus Australia | Vodafone Australia | Vodafone New Zealand

From 3 Hong Kong

The catch: According to the Apple Support Web site, Hong Kong is one of two countries (Italy being the other) listed with the iPhone 3G that isn't locked to the carrier. Subscribers will need to pay off the remaining months on their two-year plan if they wish to terminate the contract prematurely. Each customer is limited to the purchase of only one handset.

Conditions Cost breakdown
Sign up for the cheapest tariff plan and VAS package and terminate the plan before the two-year agreement is up

iPhone 8GB: HK$7,810 (US$1,002)
- Tariff plan for 24 months: HK$4,512
- "Hello" Ring VAS package: HK$360
- iPhone 8GB handset: HK$2,938

iPhone 16GB: HK$8,610 (US$1,104)
- Tariff plan for 24 months: HK$4,512
- "Hello" Ring VAS package: HK$360
- iPhone 16GB handset: HK$3,738

From Optus in Australia

The catch: You'll need to pay A$80 if you wish to network unlock the iPhone 3G within the first six months from activation. The workaround is you recharge the pre-paid phone up to a value of A$80. Either way, the cost is the same.

Conditions Cost breakdown
Get the handset without plan and exercise the option to network unlock

iPhone 8GB: A$809 (US$777)
- iPhone 8GB handset: A$729
- Network unlocking fee: A$80

iPhone 16GB: A$929 (US$902)
- iPhone 16GB handset: A$849
- Network unlocking fee: A$80

From Vodafone in Australia

The catch: An early exit fee of A$34.50 (multiplied by the number of months left on the contract) applies and there may be an additional charge to unlock the phone. If the handset is hard-locked, a basic fee of A$50 to unlock it at any time (A$25 if you do it online) and an additional A$50 if unlocking is done within six months of purchase apply. The cost of unlocking phones, however, isn't specific to the iPhone 3G, but is across the board for Vodafone in Australia, so this price is only a gauge.

Conditions Cost breakdown
Sign up for the cheapest Vodafone Cap Contract and terminate the plan before the two-year agreement is up

iPhone 8GB: A$1,051.50 (US$1,009)
Early termination if less than one month for the 8GB model:
- Early exit fee for 23 months: A$793.50
- iPhone 8GB handset: A$189
- First month subscription: A$69

iPhone 16GB: A$1,171.50 (US$1,125)
Early termination if less than one month for the 16GB model:
- Early exit fee for 23 months: A$793.50
- iPhone 16GB handset: A$309
- First month subscription: A$69

From Vodafone in New Zealand
The catch: You'll need to buy the phone in-person at a Vodafone retail store. No bots allowed. And early termination fees apply.

Conditions Cost breakdown

Get only the handset
iPhone 8GB: NZ$979 (US$740)
iPhone 16GB: NZ$1,129 (US$854)

Sign up for the cheapest iPhone 250 plan and terminate the contract before the two-year agreement is up
iPhone 8GB: NZ$1,229 (US$929)
Early termination if less than six months for the 8GB model:
- One month of subscription: NZ$80
- iPhone 8GB handset: NZ$549
- Early termination fee: NZ$600

iPhone 16GB: NZ$1,379 (US$1,043)
Early termination if less than six months for the 16GB model:
- One month of subscription: NZ$80
- iPhone 16GB handset: NZ$699
- Early termination fee: NZ$600

The verdict?

Optus in Australia has the best deal at US$777. Although it's slightly cheaper to get it from Vodafone in New Zealand, you'll need to buy the phone in-person at the Vodafone retail store. So you'll need to factor in an air ticket or persuade a Kiwi friend to buy one and ship it to you.
