With the omnipresence of iPhone these days, it is a wonder that some of us newbies have no idea where to buy one. Unlike most other mobile phones, iPhone is not stocked in all mobile shops in the city. The most reliable places to buy iPhone are the authorized resellers - the Apple Shop, iBeat, iStudio, Powerbuy, JayMart, TG Fone, besides the network shops such as True Shop, DTAC Center, AIS shop, etc. But the best place to buy is probably the Apple Store online itself - where you can get the unlocked phone within a week - free shipping - and just take it to your network provider to get it started. The prices of the 4S model at Apple online seem slightly cheaper than the networks:
iPhone 4S (16 GB) - 20,900
iPhone 4S (32 GB) - 24,900
iPhone 4S (64 GB) - 28,900

forget about the TRUE 50%.
ReplyDeleteThey make sure nobody can get the promotion...
We are customer with Truevisions for 5 years now.
Just 2 months ago, every Gold & Platinum customer in Khon Kaen has had their old digibox changed for a new HD box without having asked for it.
Because of that change True starts counting as you were a new customer from the date of digibox change...
