TrueMove iPhone Package @ 599 Baht

DealzDan — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:20:09 +0000

What: It’s good and it’s true. Buy a new iPhone 3G or 3GS directly from TrueMove (nah, no gray or black imports) and enjoy this package – wait, even your old iPhone 3G or 3GS allows you to get the package, just show proof of purchase or they check your phone’s IMEI number at the store.

Now here’s the package setting you back 599 baht/month:

Voice (any network): 300 min
SMS: 300 sms
MMS: 50 mms
3G*/EDGE/GPRS: unlimited
Wi-Fi (1 Mbps): unlimited

By the way, tethering your iPhone to use as a computer modem rocks. In 3G areas in Bangkok I get speeds of up to 4 Mbps (they advertise 7.2 Mbps …). Faster than my land line. Tethering the iPhone does not work with an AIS or DTAC SIM card.

Must say I like TrueMove’s shaking up of Thailand’s mobile communications …

“Hot” New TRUE iPhone 3G Offer

DealzDan — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 12:28:22 +0000

What: Seems to me TRUE’s original iPhone 3G “promotion” didn’t sell too well. Or why would TRUE update the iPhone 3G packages with the “Hot!” packages when the handsets are just launched?

See the new package structure here. Basically you can pay with any VISA or MasterCard now – and not only with Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank cards – and they offer upfront prices for handsets only: 24,500 baht for a 8GB, 28,500 baht for a 16GB. Plus 7% VAT. And packages are down from two-year to one-year contracts.

Well … that’s still more for a handset than what you pay for gray imports … Ok, you get a one-year warranty. And here’s the beauty of the deal: You get a fully unlocked iPhone. And 599 baht/month for 300 minutes of talk, 300 SMS and unlimited EDGE/WiFi isn’t too unattractive.

When: Offer lasts until March 31st, 2009. And you have to be a TRUE customer.

Yours the understudy.

DealzDan — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 03:05:22 +0000

What: After selling tons of black and gray market iPhones in Thailand, the probably best mobile computing device out there officially arrives in Thailand. You get the iPhone 3G for 0 (zero) baht, if you subscribe for two years. Nothing upfront! A first in Thailand.

Where/When: Here’s the True Price Plan for the iPhone 3G 8GB & 16GB.

50,376 baht is the most you pay for two years. No number portability as it looks like and device has to be paid with Bangkok Bank credit card.

(UPDATE: “Hot” New True iPhone 3G Offer)
