Aircel is giving this gr8888 deal grab it guyzzz
we can always stop the connection.....
here is the link....
Aircel iPhone 3GS | Delhi, Aircel Plans for iPhone 3GS
Also add 3k more to that, cause you have to top up with 3k to get 3G data.Add 3k to that ....9999 (for the advanced rental)
I think it will be locked to Aircel Sim only, just like in USA.just ordered one. Total cost works out to a little more than 13k (iphone and Aircel SIM with unlimited 3g for 12 months).
Planning to use the phone with my BSNL SIM for voice calls. Going to use the Aircel SIM in my datacard - purely for mobile internet.
Pretty good deal IMO.
Your post seems a bit jumbled up, doesn't make clear sense.does not date like other models, in fact phones dont date like that any more at all, the SII is a great deal, forget thinking about individual phones, it's your entire ecosystem that will thrive or go down, if and when it gets dated, it's still at least a great ipod
but a refurbed 3GS has been available at 14999 for months now, if the shop purchases second hand phones then you can get the a new 3GS for about that much, (new one being 19999 for months now) wondering why people are waking up to this deal now, looks like a further price drop made the difference
gz to those who got it
For example?You guyz crazy or what?!! I can't believe people are actually ordering this. I mean a 3GS???!!! If it were a iPhone 4 at least I would've considered but 13k for a 3GS is just too much. You can get plenty of good phones for the same price.
Just give an example.^^ Any other android or windows phone of the same price range is much more VFM than the limited and extremely dated 3GS.
I think it will be locked to Aircel Sim only, just like in USA.
You better ask aircel store salesman to explain the terms, they are selling the 3GS for 17k to prepaid users, why would they sell it to postpaid users @ 13k?Atleast the spec doesn't say so - "The handset is not locked for any specific operator. However, the plan benefits worth Rs.3000 will be applicable only if you use the Aircel SIM card & take the specific bundled plan"
Others who are wondering about the reason behind my purchase, there are quite a few of them:
- I did try my best to find a nice phone (with reasonable battery life and manufacturer warranty) for 10k but couldn't find one.
- though I can afford to get 30-40k phone, I believe in reasonably priced phones because of two reasons - they depreciate very fast and my usage is pretty limited
- mandatory 3k plan purchase (3g data plan for 12 months) is useful for me and is not going to go down the drain
- I got a samsung galaxy R for my wife a few months back and I don't want a similarly spec'ed phone either. If I need a change, I can always swap the phone to experience the Android. I think that having an iphone helps in adding some variety here.
- I use the phone just for calls, internet and navigation. I just don't get time to tweak the phone, play games or try out different apps.
- I am very sure that this phone is going to retain its value for some more time - atleast better than the other 10k phones can manage. So, I "might" get a better price for apple iphone 3gs during my next upgrade.
