In a bid to possibly clear inventory, combat slumping sales, or both, SoftBank Mobile’s new "iPhone for Everybody Campaign" is offering customers in Japan a free iPhone 3G with a two-year contract through May.
Man, why do I always pick the wrong times to not live in Japan??? Well, since I ‘ve never even visited Japan, I guess I can ‘t blame bad timing here “ but I can still be envious of all the folks who do, and who have a chance to take up that offer. Here ‘s more details:
Announced on the Japanese carrier’s website, the promotion offers significant savings for customers interested in upgrading to the iPhone in Japan. The 8GB version of Apple’s popular smartphone is now free (original release, translated) with a two-year contract that can be tied to one of three promotional plans including basic, premium, or student. The 16GB iPhone, meanwhile, isn’t paid for in full up front. Rather, it costs 480 yen per month ($4.96 in U.S. dollars) for a total price over the two-year contract of � 11,520 ($119.11).
To add insult to my ‘not living in Japan when I should be ‘ injury, apparently Softbank is also offering a major discount on the data plan to go with these.
Oh, and the other *very* interesting, fuel for the next gen iPhone rumors, part of this: this Softbank promotion is due to end at the end of May. Right on time for a brand new iPhone model many will say
