Singapore Telecommunications or SingTel has already announced the launch of the second-generation iPhone in the country for August 22nd. However, those who will buy the 3G iPhone will not have support for visual voicemail. Moreover, iPhone users will also not be able to access videos as well as music from the iTunes store.

According to the spokesman of SingTel, on the launch date of the 3G iPhone, customers will not be able to purchase content from the iTunes store. However, they may start buying applications on the App Store as soon as their iPhones are activated. But here’s another thing. The visual voicemail will not be offered to the 3G iPhone users in Singapore.

Singaporean customers will get the iPhone for free if they sign up to a two-year contract with SingTel which costs US$145 or S$205 every month. This plan includes 1,500 minutes of outgoing voice calls as well as a 3GB worth of data access. New subscribers can get the cheapest plan that costs S$348 for the iPhone model that has 8GB memory. On the other hand, the 16GB 3G iPhone costs s$508. But unlike the other model, the customers must sign up for a two-year contract with SingTel which requires them to pay S$56 a month if they want the 16GB 3G iPhone. The monthly fee includes 200 minutes of outgoing voice calls and 1GB worth of data.
