guys, im not sure f naa na bay thread ni exist about ani na discussion. im planning to get an iphone4s. im nt in a hurry kay nghuwat2 pkos sa money n f dli napud kuyaw na ma jailbreak. for now im weighing the pros and cons about it and ng libog ko unsa na network or diritso lang ba ko mu buy ug unlock.

if dli ko mag plan and anha ko sa unlock version, medyo sakit2 sa bulsa kay dako2 na amount imu ecash out. magamit nako akong sun(kay sun user mn jd ko) but i heard dli daw kaau mu gana ang iphone 4s sa sun. how true is this?....

if mag plan ko if etotal nimo tnan(monthly + cash out) - mu gwas jud na mas expensive pero hinay2 lng kay monthly man. if mag plan pud ka, mas magamit nimo kay unli internet ka,ryt? if magplan ka, ok ra ba ma jailbreak imu phone- kuywan ko murag ma wala man jud ang warranty ana. im not so familiar sa smart na plan, asa mas sulit ang globe or ang smart? and lastly ok na ba ang 16gb?

pls share mu sa inyo mga na experience.. sa katong nag kuha na globe/smart plans.. slamat!

Buy factory unlocked 4s. Daghan man cells hop namalogya 4s offering 6 months to pay with credit card.
Otherwise locked ka to globe.

what if naka lock ka ana na network nya imo ipa unlock mawala ang warranty?

it all depends on your needs. Unlocked 4s never have warranty.

wa ko ka G nimo bro, warranty or lock-in period?

smart plan 999 = 999 a month for the consumable load + 999 for the phone (no unli data)
globe plan 1799 = 4800 initial cash out + 1799 a month. with freebies and 800 consumable load

lock up period is 24 months

i did some research, n this is wat i found out :

The Apple iPhone 4S sells at US$649, US$749 and US$849 for the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models unlock and contract free.
iPhone 4S, unlocked and contract free, should be priced as follows:

16GB: Php31,200
32GB: Php36,100
64GB: Php40,900

Smart is selling at roughly Php2,000 higher than US prices, while Globe is selling roughly Php6,000 to Php9,000 higher than US prices. And yes, that already accounts for VAT.

Prepaid kits :
SMART GLOBE

16GB: Php 33,200 Php 37,690
32GB: Php 38,200 Php 43,490
64GB: Php 43,200 Php 49,290

Post paid plans : both carriers have wide variety of plans to choose from. ill be sharing only a few which i think wud work for me...

16 GB = 1799x24 = 43716 + CO = 47,976 16 GB = 2000x24 = 48000 +CO = 50,500
Globe Data Plan 1799 Smart Data Plan 2000
Cash out Php4,800 Cash out Php2,500
Php800 consumable 150 minutes calls to all networks
Unlimited data 200 SMS to all networks
