Buy officially unlocked Iphone 4 for cheap

By 220v

UK's official apple website r selling officially unlocked iphone 4 but only ships them within UK.

the trick is:

1.get a web surfing/online purchasing card or even cr. card to be able to pay online

2.go to aramex and open shop n ship account .. shop n ship will provide u an address in UK which will redirect all ur shipments to Doha.

so go to the UK website purchase it and mention ur UK address

the iphone 4 16 gb costs 2,800 riyals in the website and the shipping cost to Doha through shop n ship is not more than 100 riyals..

so u can actually buy the phone for not more than 3000 riyals. which is a super deal.

i've ordered mine already and its confirmed to be coming here next week.

for all the resellers here making 500-1000 riyals more..
if i've exposed the trick .. and u guys mad at me..
u guys r most welcome to take my middle finger.

peace.

Why don't you buy the phone from Vodafone Qatar

QAR 2,800 bucks (16GB) and it is officially launched by Vodafone Qatar - besides Vodafone given a plan too along with it. Use it for a month and then if you do not like Vodafone go back to Mr.Qtel..

Hi QLfan

u will not be able to purchase the phone from the US website.the phones sold in the link that u posted are all locked with their carriers in USA , which means u will have to always wait for an unlock to activate those phones.

buy it from Apple's official UK website which is :-

http://www.apple.com...

over here the phones are officially unlocked which means buy it once and no worries about unlocks and further hassle.

if u still dint understand the difference between officially locked and unlocked ..i will give u detailed info on phone here is my # 55987108

I must purchase iphone-4 by tomorrow 23-09-2010 itself. Can anyone please confirm the (Apple store online purchase) slashed prices of I-Phone 4?

As per my friend's recommendation, Today's price at Apple store

16GB = $199 (QR 1134/-)

32GB = $299 (QR 1704/-)

Last week Prices were?

16 GB £499 = QR 2,847 /-

32 GB £599 = QR 3,419 /-

The link my friend had forwarded to me as an evidence is...

QLfan..

Sure u can jailbreak it even by urself.. And no need to unlock because it's officially unlocked.. Which means u can use any sim card aroun the world.

Thanks 220v for sharing such nice piece of information. Expecting your updates once you receive the shipment...

Though if i could purchase through above procedure, What about jailbreak? Can it be done locally?

No doubt a good idea. Perhaps you guys can collectively buy the iphone to save on shipping charges - tht way the shop and ship charges for multiple phones would be cheaper. Have to pay VAT though :-(

Another idea - use this website www.handtec.co.uk I bought my BB 9700 and they deliver directly to your desk. Use the price excluding VAT (as it is shipped outside UK) - on this site you can even pick up the 3GS :-) My BB has worked great and i had picked it way before it got released in Qatar and at a much cheaper rate

U can buy a Master card from The Group located at the C-ring road. its costs 200 yearly fee and u can deposit how much u wanna use for your purchases online.

if that's expensive then u can always borrow ur friend's Cr. card..

Here is the site:-
