If you’re one customer who is looking for an iPhone that is independent of any telephone plans and services, you are better off flying to Hong Kong and get the unlocked iPhone version. Now, you don’t have to be tied to any mobile phone company you think less of – because with the unlocked iPhone, you can practically choose which service you want.
However, this absolute freedom enjoyed by Hong Kong iPhone users comes with a stiff price. Currently, they are shipping the 8 and 16 Giga Byte iPhones. The 8 GB sells for as much as $695 or around $5,400 HKD. On the other hand, the 16 GB iPhone is being sold at $798 or $6,200 HKD. These figures came directly from Apple’s website.
This can be the best news iPhone users had heard yet, especially in countries where prepaid mobile subscribers are many. To be a prepaid phone subscriber, you just have to buy a SIM from the provider of your choice and load it up with the services you want. Charges are applied for every access and you’ve got to pay them first. There are also post-paid plans around, but they are not as much popular as the prepaid option. This trend is very popular in the Asian countries.
The new unlocked iPhone 3G is expected to hit the Asian market like storm. Just purchase a unit from the Apple Store online then activate it with any of the wireless carriers near you. Insert the SIM of your choice and you’re ready to go. You can even use the existing SIM of your regular phone and it should work. You only just have to activate iTunes 8. To do it, connect to the portal through your phone’s wireless connection or 3G access.
