Telcel offers iPhone 3G without contract in Mexico

Monday, October 6, 2008 @ 9:35am

Telcel is now offering a contract-free version of the iPhone 3G in Mexico. The cost of an iPhone under this scheme is $7,899 MXN ($708 USD) for a 8GB model, or $9,199 MXN ($817 USD) for a 16GB model. Telcel also notes that users who choose this option are being given $500 MXN ($45 USD) worth of talk time, and 30 days of unlimited 3G browsing. In order to receive the fulal value of the promotion, however, people must use $100 MXN worth of talk time in a month. If this requirement is met, their account will be credited with an additional $100 MXN renewable up to a total value of $500 MXN.

One important note is that freedom from contracts does not indicate a fully unlocked device. Mundo Mac warns that the iPhone 3G should still be chained to the Telcel network.
