True 50% Iphone Advert?

[HalfSquat]

I saw an advert in a Thai TV channel in Thai that appeared to state that the Iphone 4S had 50% off with True.

Is this True and is it 50% off the price of the phone or the monthly charge?

Anyone heard of this deal?

Thanks.

Yes, but based on invite i believe, and most likely only for post paid customers with good payment history is suspect.

"Up to 50% off".

The requirement is one year customer of True internet or TV and to buy 18 month subscription at 899 baht per month True Move service with 7 months paid in advance (which covers full cost of phone). Believe actually discount on phone is about 7k or 33% rather than 50% if based on Apple Store price and for the 4s models.

For heavy uses likely a good deal as True has good coverage but you are tied to a high price plan for 11 months longer than initial payment so those not using heavy (and would have actually paid for less) will likely not cover that added cost.

Thanks, think I will leave it for now. When is v. 5 coming out?

Also seems they require payment using a credit card rather than in cash and contract tied to card from report back from someone who just did today.

Suspect 5 may be awhile as 4s just came out and they were expecting that to be called 5.
