Lately, I have been reading lots of comments of people who claim that globally unlocked iPhones from Hong Kong are not real.

Just wanted to make a short video regarding those "Globally Unlocked" 3G iPhones you have been hearing about.

Any questions regarding this video please post it up in the comments section or PM me. Thanks and I hope you guys like it!

Sorry for the "weird accent" im having a cold right now....

"Anonymous, I just wanna ask you about somethin please... i am goin to hong kong after 2 months and i wanna buy the iphone 3g i heard about that you can find this phone all around hong kong in the public shops and unlocked too so is that right? or not so what can i do to buy the iphone unlocked from hong kong, and can i find it locked in shops and if its okay so can i unlock it by my self?
what the prices? can i buy the phone from 3? i saw in the apple's website you can buy the iphone from 3?"

My reply: Regarding your questions in the quoted paragraph above, yes you can get the new iPhone 3G in cellphone shops around Hong Kong. You can get them in 2 different ways, one is by going to a "3" store and have an iPhone 3G at a subsidized price with a monthly plan (just like in the States) and the second option is to get one without a contract (which is not official) . All iPhones 3G from Hong Kong come unlocked by default btw, but based on your situation, I'm pretty sure that you are interested in getting one without a contract (since you are just visiting Hong Kong; not living).

You can find them all around Hong Kong in Cellphone shops.... prices of unlocked iPhones 3G without contracts are expensive though... because in order for the shops to sell them unlocked and contract free they first had to buy them with a contract and then terminate it (paying all the cancellation fees and in some cases even the 2 full years of charges...)

I would say that the price range is about 750 to 800 US Dollars.....

It is expensive.... but it is 100% unlocked. So no hacks to mess around with, no roaming with AT&T, etc....

Hope this helped you! Please rate the video from this response! Anything else please send me a PM or just leave a comment!

  • HK is the best place to buy any electronics (even Apple). All the phones are unlocked (and cheaper than the West.). I bought a sim over there costing HK$25 (£1.80) and the calls were charged at HK$0.03 per minute - almost nothing.

  • I got my legally unlocked iphone from icellstore.c o m, they have free shipping anywere in the USA and great prices to.

  • buy iphone in hong kong apple store on line or on phone will be unlocked ,they can mail to your hk address

  • sorry, I got mine off the three network in Fortress and it was unlocked, I inserted my CSL 1010 sim card and it worked. Then I had to put in my 3 Sim card and it also worked, so basically, all iPhones in HK are unlocked, retail and online.
