An SBI Credit Card Could Get You an Unlocked iPhone

unlocked iphone with SBI Credit Card Much before the impending official launch of Apple’s iPhone in India, lot of grey market unlocked phones are available in big markets across the country.

According to Apple sources, iPhone will hit India only in 2008 in partnership with a local player.

But Mumbai-based online shopping site Deals4all.net is selling the iPhone to all SBI Credit Card holders for Rs. 26,000 much to the surprise of Apple Inc. The phone can even be used across all mobile networks.

But the legitimacy of the offer is doubted since Apple won’t unlock iPhones for India and that too for a relatively less known shopping site. And these phones would even won’t have any warranty attached with them.

The biggest surprise is that the fact company such as SBI which has a strong brand identity is selling such products. But SBI officials claim that the responsibility lies with Deals4all and not with them.

But die hard fans of iPhone, they are surely not complaining. via

Yes, I too saw that offer in sbi card site and was surprised to know whether it was indeed available in India. This is really a pathetic answer from SBI and the most important part is that SBI sends every customers a brochure explaining all the details of the above offer when they are sending their statement and how can they get away by saying “that the responsibility lies with Deals4all and not with them.”!

India isn’t yet ready for an iPhone.
Though everyone fancies owning one of the most popular gadgets of late,no one really goes out for it!.
Indians,I admit ,take time adjusting to changing trends.Presently,mobile buyers are checking for low cost music player mobiles.

No one really wants to surf the net on mobile or watch streaming videos.Moreover is there any mobile WiFi provider for us?.

Buyers if any should have to wait for a sweet long time to enjoy the features of iPhone.

Theres nothing such as Mobile WiFi (WiFi itself suggests mobility upto some extent. For more mobility its WiMax which is still in implementation stage except some places). WiFi - its a universal standard. Any device that is WiFi complaint has an ability to intermingle !

Why are you saying India is not ready for iPhone….India is far more ready for iPhone. If you are talking of general public then you might be right in some sense. But Apple should had always gone with Universal release.

I saw a kiosk in ground floor of Forum Mall, Hosur Road/Koramangla Bangalore - selling iPhones openly for 26-28k… all this right under the nose of an Apple authorised dealership in the very mall (just 1-2 floors above!!)… Wonder if the kiosk itself is run part time by the Apple showroom folks…

Not much of surprise for me. My relatives and I have had first hand experience of Malpractices of SBI credit card division.

Could you please elaborate in detail how many people “could” be using WiFi? Or how many people would really buy the iPhone in India considering its price? There would be demand no doubt but I don’t think all of its features could be utilized by the owners.

3G Services, High Speed Data-transfer are all the problems that we are going to face. Even though operators are wanting to switch to 3G. Its the legal things which is taking time. WiFi is no problem here but Bandwidth in India has always been a problem. Sure it helped alot after Broadband came into picture.
