Actually the price in the US is subsidized, which is not the case in India. If u buy an iphone in the US you have to sign up a 1-2 year contract with AT&T which would cost about $2,000 (2 yr). But you don't have any kinda contract in india, just buy an iphone and u can use any Airtel card with it. On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 3:07 PM, speakLittle <[email protected]> wrote:
