On 11th July, my friend Alex from genrya.com, immediately went to ‘yes’ Optus store located at Grand Central Shopping Centre to buy one for himself. However, maybe the place we’re staying is not a big city, there’s no stock for Apple iPhone 8GB or 16GB. Alex had to put down his name under waiting list.

To date, Alex still haven’t receive any calls from ‘yes’ Optus store regarding the stock availability for his Apple iPhone 16GB. Anyway, he explained to me that the main priority given to those buying Apple iPhone Postpaid from Optus will get the phone faster than those on waiting list for Optus Pre-Paid plan. If anyone wondering what is the price for Optus Pre-Paid Apple iPhone 3G price, here’s the price list:-

Optus Pre-Paid - Apple iPhone 3G Price

1. 8GB (Black) for  $729
2. 16GB (Black or White) for $849

Either you buying 8GB or 16GB version of Optus Pre-Paid Apple iPhone 3G, the basic Pre-Paid plan still apply where you $400 worth of credit and 1GB worth of data.

FAQ

Optus Me2U

1. There’s a service by Optus which is Optus Me2U where you can transfer your credit to other Optus Pre-Paid user.
2. However Optus already know this trick and reduce the amount of credit you can transfer to your friends. Anyway, you still can transfer max of $30 credit per month to your friend if they want to recharge. Instead of buying a recharge, they pay you and you transfer to them the credit!
   [Notice: From 8 May 2008, the maximum amount per ME2U transaction will change from $100 per month to $30 per month per service but good news: Pre-Paid Turbo Cap customers will be able to use ME2U from this date!]
