With the iPhone’s launch in Philippines on 22 August, the distributor Globe Telecom, providing both pre-paid as well as post-paid plans, warned the subscribers against buying the device from any other country, for it’s usage in Phillipines.
“We have customers who bought iPhone 3G from the United States, but they cannot be used here,” said Joanna Marie Africa, head of the device and cards management of Globe Telecom.
It is believed that Globe offered one of the lowest prices, ranging from P37,599 to P43,799 for iPhone 3G, which was being sold at a price of P70,000 on eBay and P60,000 to P70,000 on the gray mark.The low price was in effort to make the device affordable for it’s customers.
The company reduced the tag price of the pre-paid kit of the 8-gigabyte version of the iPhone 3G to P37,599 while the price of 16-GB version was cut to P43,799.
