@marko1: You must be new to this kind of scheme. At 3.2 million IDR selling price, that post-paid plan comes with a monthly cost of 605.000 IDR for 12 months, making the total cost of ownership for the iPhone 4S 16GB to be 10.46 million IDR, way more than the 7.7 million IDR buy-out price. This is just a poor attempt to milk as much money as possible from Indonesian wannabe young execs.
Im not sure why a report was not done on the 12 month plan to which the phone is 3.199 juta for 16gb

The iPhone 4S was officially launched in Indonesia on Friday, roughly four months after it was released in the United States.
The much sought-after gadget, equipped with the voice-activated personal assistant Siri, was introduced at an event at Gandaria City mall in Jakarta.
The launch event was presided over by Telkomsel director Edward Ying. Telkomsel is the nation’s largest mobile phone service provider.
The newest iPhone comes with a hefty price tag for Indonesian consumers. The cheapest version, with a 16 GB capacity, has a retail price of Rp 7.7 million ($850).
The 64 GB version carries a price of Rp 9.9 million.
On Wednesday, Apple reported pulling in $13 billion in profits for the December quarter, largely on stronger than expected sales of the iPhone 4S.
Telkomsel and XL Axiata are both offering post-paid data, SMS and calling bundles for the iPhone 4S as well that start from Rp 699,000 per month.
