Chunghwa Telecom Co., Taiwan’s largest phone operator, will start selling the iPhone in Taiwan on Dec. 13, reports The China Post. Customers can pre-order the iPhone from today for guaranteed delivery on Dec. 13 while those who don’t pre-purchase can buy the handset on the same day if stocks are available.
The Taipei-based phone carrier plans to offer the 8GB model \free to subscribers who sign up to its NT$2,549 (US$76.50) a month plan for two years, the company said in a statement yesterday. The same package for the 16GB iPhone will cost NT$2,990 for the handset, according to the statement.
Customers can also buy the 8GB handset without a contract for NT$26,600, or the 16GB model for NT$29,900, which includes six months’ access to Chunghwa’s third-generation and Wifi wireless-Internet networks. The Post says that Shih Mu-piao, vice president of Chunghwa’s Mobile Business unit, declined say how many iPhones the company expects to sell.
