kLique Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Got this from a friend from Singtel There will be "prepaid" 3G iPhones, that are being planned to be sold in Europe (thru Vodafone) Dont be surpised with the price Expect to burn 400 Euros for the 8GB model(around 35 K Pesos) and 570 Euros for the 16 GB model (40 K Pesos) So guys & gals...EVEN if it does show up in the gray market...these 3G iphones are FAR from the $199 (8GB) & $ 299(16 GB) USD price tags bundled with a plan now that's steep! I expect the price of IPhones to be sold in the gray market at around that price anywayor perhaps even more... Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Had a meeting this morning with our Globe AE...jeez..as of now.. Globe 3G iPhone plans are still CLASSIFIED..but heres the scoop...It will be available free (or plus a certain amount) to Platinum subscribers It is being studied if they will offer 1st Gen iPhones to other G-Plans PS: The Globe-Apple tandem will be doing their darndest best to quash "work-arounds" to jail break Globe issued units (bad news for hackers)...i dunno if the Turbo SIMs will still be effective You know what you're right. I apologize to forum members who might have been 'taken' by my enthusiasm for the $199 price tag announced by Apple at the WWDC. I should have known better. Later news revealed that Apple got AT&T to pay them a subsidy of $325 per phone. Its a cheap marketing trick and I got suckered into buying into it. I should have known better. So the reference price for the iPhone is again back to $700 or thereabouts. I suspect Globe may be 'eating' a similar subsidy for the high-end platinum post paid plan. P5k monthly, unlimited HSDPA and they give you the 'privilege' of buying a 3G iPhone for say, P10k. Time to drive my accountants crazy. Jailbroken? That is a term used on an iPhone that has been modified to allow installation of applications outside of the official Apple-supplied apps. Until July 11, 2008 all the none Apple apps can only be installed on a jailbroken phone. Perhaps you meant a 'hacked' iPhone? This is one where the SIM-lock to the AT&T network is removed so that you can use a SIM from another mobile phone provider. I would wait until after July 11 before you do that though. No one knows what Apple has done tot he software on version 2 of the iPhone and whether it will irreparably brick unauthorized iphones. Edited June 23, 2008 by orionpax Quote Link to comment

Gideon Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'll wait and see how the market reacts to the product. Quote Link to comment
SanMigLight Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 yeah everything about the 2nd gen iPhone is still classified until July 11. We will be (Tech) supporting iphone users in Australia thru Optus. it will be the same here i think for globe. Which is also under Singtel like Optus of Australia. :headsetsmiley: Quote Link to comment
carnalito Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I believe that iPhone will be launched in the Philippines under Globe Telecom, according to MacLife August 2008, German edition. http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7945/iphonexj1.jpg Quote Link to comment

Bazooka Joe Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) i heard that globe will offer the iphone3G 8gig at plan2500. globe people are preparing it para sa sept. center people are having their 1week training for iphone support. apple doesn't want iphone user going to their stores for support. everything will be done at globe business centers. i heard globe is really preparing big for the iphone! sobrang spoiled nga daw ang apple! may sariling counter pa for iphone users.
