raj_raj_in_in 1 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 Hi guys, I am seeing the advertisement of the Subhiksha mobile outlet in the newspaper (Mumbai) almost everyday, in which they claim to be providing the handset of for free. Ofcourse, it wont be free, there must be some conditions. Have any of you guys have visited Subhiksha and know what exactly they are offering??? Cheers.

Honest 836 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 ^^^ My dear Raj, although I'm not confirm about this, but I think they are providing the Airtel connection. You must have seen the ads of Airtel in newspapers which stated that get handset free with new Airtel connection. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your answer, but i am referring to the Shubhiksha Ad whereby they are advertising the free handset with Airtel, Hutch, and Reliance connection. Anyways, I am going to visit the said shop for more details, will post soon. cheers. Edited August 21, 2007 by raj_raj_in_in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GSV13 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 It's for those who have credit card ................... commit to twelve month recharge which will be charged at same date every month and get a handset free or subsidised. Like get recharged for 450Rs /month for 12 months and get Nokia 2300 free(I am not sure) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@mitJ@in 256 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 Subhiksha is not a good mobile store.... If you wanna buy Reliance Phone then buy from Reliance World or Reliance Communications or Leading Reliance Oulet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ani_meher 42 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 or if u r looking for a better deal, buy from a small shop! because those reliance outlets are usually the costliest. also, the warranty is not by the shops, but by the cell making company's service center. so buy from anywhere u r getting good price, but make sure u get receipt if u want to get free service within warranty.

copperco2 24 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 yeah just like.. the official price for rd3000 for prepaid is 1949/- in mumbai but i am getting the same at 1600/- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) ^^^ My dear friends, I don't think there is any harm to purchase a mobile from SUBHIKSHA if they are providing the same in lower rates than the market. After all SUBHIKSHA is also a reputed store. After sales service of the handset is provided by the service centres. Even if you purchase the handset from Web World they directly will not replace your handset, but send you to the nearest service centre. I can't see any harm in purchasing handset from SUBHIKSHA.

manishag 17 Report post Posted August 24, 2007 I'm not sure about subhiksha mumbai. but in Delhi subhiksha is purchasing the Nokia from the grey market. I have confirmed it from nokia guys that subhiksha is not getting the nokia stocks from HCL from last 4 months. And for sony they are getting the stocks from Sony not from the Ingram or Salora so warranty on SE is limited to very few service centers. So its better to check the stock in mumbai too before purchasing the mobile from them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@mitJ@in 256 Report post Posted August 24, 2007 Buy From Big Showrooms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) ^^^ @amit jain My dear friend I agree with you at some extent to buy products from big showrooms but at the same time we can't ignore small dealers. They too can provide reasonable rates with good services. I had seen a lot of small dealers which themselves take the pain to solve the problems of their customers. Some small dealers even can provide better services then big stores. And in the last I can say SUBHIKSHA itself is not a small name. Again I say their is no harm to purchase the handsets from SUBHIKSHA if they provide the same at lower rates. Actually Reliance Web World Express are looting customers instead. They overcharge for the handsets. If a handset is available at Rs.2000/- at RELIANCE owned WEB WORLD, at the same time the franchisee (WEB WORLD EXPRESS) charge Rs.200/- to 300/- extra from the customer. See this example : LG RD 3000 is available @ Rs.1600/- approximately in the market. But Web World Express is selling the same handset @ Rs.2000/- approximately. Big stores are not always cheap.
