OK YOU CANNOT GET iPHONE FOR 99-FREAKKING-DOLLARS. Comprende ? *I hear you say but, but its on the Apple website* ooook. See the little (1) next the price ? Well read it: Let me put it here: Requires new **two-year AT&T wireless service contract**, sold separately to qualified customers; **credit check**required; must be 18 or older. Existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G should check with AT&T or use www.apple.com/iphone/buy to find out if they are eligible for early upgrade pricing: $299 (8GB), $399 (16GB), or $499 (32GB) with a new two-year contract. Still, no? Unlike India, you don't (rephrase: 99% of people don't) purchase the phone outright. The $99 = downpayment. The rest of the cost is covered in monthly phone bill. The average per month bill is around, $120. Again, its an average. It might be more, it might be less. Do some math. $99 + 120*24 = ??? NOT FREAKING $99! Yes, it's $2979. That's the cost you'll have to bear. Oooo, I'll break the contract. Erm. Nada. Break the contract within a month = you *have* to return the phone. OK, I'll wait. There's something called early termination fee: it goes upto $175. Ok, $99 + 175 = $275 = YAAY! WIN!!!!! Erm, down boy. You *can't* break the contract *that* easily, not unless you have a *valid* reason. OOoh, I'll report stolen and get it. Wake up, this ain't India where you can get an FIR done in 5 bucks. Oooh, I'll purchase and leave the country. Um, Let me bring up the terms again. **credit check**required. Credit check = based on your SSN. SSN will reveal anything and everything about you. You default, when you come back, there will be whole bunch of whopass on you. OK? Any questions ?
