After going through all the plans and terms, personally I would say it’s not worth it! The cost of the iPhone itself is not more than RM1000 figuratively. We have to pay a hefty price and stuck with contract just to get a taste of iPhone? I suggest you get it from local dealers that selling it at lelong or lowyat garage sales instead. There’s many seller selling the unlocked version already. The units has been brought in from Singapore. Price is around RM2500-2800 which is quite reasonable because it doesn’t tied to any contract .You can use it with your current telcos.
