iPhone 3G available in Bahrain
I was starving after the gym this morning so I stopped over at a nearby supermarket to get a sandwich. On the way out, I noticed this on their noticeboard:
This person is selling them for really hefty prices:
- The 8GB black is for BD 420 (US$ 1,111 – it’s $199 originally but with a contract)
- The 16GB black is for BD 465 (US$ 1,230 – it’s $299 originally “)
- The 16GB white is for BD 480 (US$ 1,270 – it’s $299 originally “)
They go on to explain why the prices they are charges might appear high with this:
Why does the price APPEAR high? …. What you don’t know is that to own an iPhone 3G in from Apple, Worldwide, you MUST (in addition to initial iPhone price & being a resident in that country):
- Sign and entire 2 YEAR contract with AT&T, and add $30 to every monthly bill.
- Pay Taxes.
- If you wish to cancel contract you must pay $170+, if otherwise cancelled you MUST RETURN the device.
- many more hassles.
Well, for those prices, Apple can keep their phone. I would rather have this one instead.

Good day to everyone!
I am needing a little of anyone’s help here. I have an aunt living in the united states that is willing to get me and my husband an iphone 3g but I am not really so sure if it can work properly here in Bahrain. I was like thinking if you guys knows anyone who can completely unlock and jailbreak (as how i heard it but doesn’t know really what is it for) an iphone 3g safely. And another thing, is it safe to have it shipped through Aramex for we already have an account with them (via their official postal address)? Coz I believe that we could only use that certain postal address if we will buy or shop online. I was trying to reach their customer service but no one is attending my query, just an answering machine. I am hoping someone could help me out here. I am really dying for this iphone 3g and now I can have it without any cost. Pleae help…
Thank you and more power to Mahmood!
Hi Cathybabe,
I can jailbreak and unlock the phone for you. I too have ordered via Aramex and its perfectly fine. However I didnt quit eunderstand your question. Give me a cal on 39944321 and ill explain it all to you. It’s not rocket sceince so no worries.
I guess ill wait for your call. I have two remaining unlocks.
Regards,
Tariq.
there is no unlocking software right now for the new 3g iphone. you have to use turbo sim where you have to modify your sim card..my suggestion is..its better to wait for a few more months for sure they’ll develop a new software just like before..afterall later edition of Iphone 3g will have a minimal bugs.
