Last month, i wrote a post about Apple iPhone Not (yet) Available in Indonesian Market. But the gossips updated 
.
**Update: You can get iPhone from Hong Kong. I’ve wrote a tip how to buy unlocked iPhone 3G for Indonesian!!
And now Budi Putera, the owner of Asia Blogging Network wrote in his post that his colleague in Telkomsel told him that the negotiation between iPhone and Telkomsel almost confirmed.
According to post, the iPhone will be offered to the post paid consumers. And now Telkomsel working on how the pricing scheme is.
“Telkomsel will offer iPhone 3G here. It’s almost confirmed.”
We pray for this . As I know, kartuHALO is the Telkomsel’s postpaid service. I wonder how they merge/split their customer which is subscribed with it’s Telkomsel Flash.
Let’s analyze it. If the iPhone really come to us, Will it be offered with discounted price?

I think it will be bundled with the HaloBebas Abonemen, since the minimum payment you’ll have to pay will of course bigger than the monthly fee
I can’t wait for it.
. I already have halo bebas abonemen 
wah kabar bagus nih, untuk penggemar merk apple di Indonesia, kapan dan berapa duit tuh untuk mendapatkan Iphone 3G, moga-moga bisa 2 juta-an, bundling juga tetap ok, itung-2 mencicil yang tidak terasa, he he
bravo itgossips.
You’re going to buy it when it becomes available? wow… I’m sure you can afford one.. :p
Thanks for the feedback
. Moga2 aja bisa segituan. 
Aku juga berharap kalo ada subsidi bagi iphone.
It seems that iPhone will fit with my Macbook
. So, syncronizing data will be easy as 1, 2 , 3.
If iPhone were to be released in Indonesia I still can’t affor to buy one yet….
hmm… yeah …
that’s right, another people said that it’ll be picked up by hutchison (3) …
and another people again said that it’ll be picked up by telkomsel…
but it never mind! the main is iPhone will be in Indonesia!!
yess!! how much will they cost it? same with official price ($199) ??
we hope …
The source said that it’s still in negotiation
Ya … saya juga berharap … Telkomsel bisa memenangkan negosiasi untuk menyediakan Iphone 3G secara bundling & discounted price … karena saya sudah memiliki kartu Halo … atau apakah harus mengambil nomor baru … I don’t know … just wish it’ll come to Indonesia … Pls Apple … !!!
Yeah, aku juga berharap
if i buy iphone from abroad,, will it work here??
i want it bad..
You can, only if you buy unlocked one. However, iPhone usually come with locked version, you need to unlock it / jailbreak it first. You can Jailbreak iPhone 3G with Pwnage jailbreak
dear kaito,
where did you buy your i phone?????
i found a big problem to find that phone..
Hey, I don’t have one yet. But we need to wait for the official iPhone for Indonesia, If you want it badly, you can buy iPhone 3G and jailbreak it to unlock.
Jangan terlalu berharap untuk huge discounted price…dengan kebiasaan cara bisnis operator di Indonesia yg berlomba diskon2an tarif, dan kalo ada paket dengan handset gak pernah harganya dipotong, yg ada dikasih bonus pulsa, harga mah tetep aja normal.
Heran deh…padahal dengan adanya huge discounted price yg disubsidi dari pembayaran minimal misalkan selama 2 tahun…ga usah iPhone…bundlingin aja E90 Communicator, gue yakin pasti laris manis di Indonesia hehehe…
Pricing scheme :
E90 –> Rp 8jt
Tagihan minimal sebulan 300rb/250rb, dgn asumsi 200rb tiap bulan selama 24 bln untuk subsidi harga E90 nya, jatuhnya harga E90 nya –> Rp 3.200.000,-
Dengan order quantity yg besar tentunya harga E90 jauh dibawah 8jt dari vendor ke operator… =)
Jika banyak pelanggan baru yg tertarik utk apply sbg pelanggan baru, tinggal dikalikan aja kelebihan quota, tambahan layanan data, dll yg didapat dari pelanggan baru…
So? What’s the final one?
Will it be in Indonesia? (the legal one) ? ? ? ?
I’m really curious! Can’t wait!
how much is the iphone now in indonesia??
I heard that Indosat is joining the bid for Iphone in Indonesia. I hope Indosat will win the bid cause I love Indosat than TSEL.
just for your Info:
1. I have a Iphone 2.1 Firmware, jailbroken and unlocked, and it works absolutely great with Telkomsel.
2. The Iphone 3G can not be unlocked (!!!!) eg, it will not work with a SIM card from a Indonesian provider (if somebody say’s different, it’s a fraud). You can only Jailbreack a 3G phone, to allow to install other apps, than the one from Apple store.
3. Since the 3G speed in Indonesia is so slow, it does not matter if you use 3G or Edge (2G), since the effective speed is only 300Kbps max (!!)
4. For business use it is just great, since the PushMail (like Blackberry) works in Indonesia (together with the service from Pt. KreatifSolusi).
So at the end you can have a Iphone 2G (with newest software)now and enjoy all the cool features.
5.I do not believe that the 3G will come to Indonesia very soon, since they have to get approval from the minister of communication and he said “Indonesia has a open telecom market, and Apple’s marketing of the Iphone bound on a cellphone contract would be illegal in Indonesia” (!!!???) (but they have it in countries like Botswana and Ghana….) (I think somebeody is not paying him enough ruppis to make this legal..)

$199 for 8 G iphone in indonesia just dreaming guys. telkomsel would not be able get the contract cause lot of people will only sign the contract and run away.i think the price will be $800 min for the 8 G (3 G phone). but i agree maybe they will have it at the apple store. becareful there is many item made china that look like exactly like iphone.
@sharkblack1
you are rught. I think the most win win solution is iPhone will come with actual price but bundled with features available which are match with indonesian market.
AT&T 3G frequency band (the official operator in USA) is different than world market, including Telkomsel.
So, even people are able to unlock the 3G phone, it won’t work in WCDMA band in Indonesia but 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE).
no need to waste your money for 3G iphone if it is gonna work just like 2G in Indonesia.
Just get 2G iphone, the only feature you will miss on the 2G is the GPS.
wah kalo telkomnyet eh telkomsel yg megang iphone, udah pasti lebih mahal jatuhnya. Because, telkomsel is Junk! just like At&t in USA. hehehe. Hope, indonesian hacker find a way to hack iphone and make it usable for any sim card. just like on usa, teheehe. anyway, is there any mistake with my english? sorry guys.
Does anyone know which operator in Indonesia that will be able to provide the 3G setting for iphone 3G. As far as i know, there is no setting manually, it always come directly from iTunes(depending on the provider) and since iphone is not available in Indonesia. How can we use the 3G ? with which operator?
Operator mana yang bisa kita pakai untuk iphone 3G? telkomsel ato indosat? trus bagaimana settingnya? thanks
Sementara ini belum ada, daripada 3G iPhone mending iPhone yang biasa aja
dulu.
wait for 2009. we will be surprised
