It is more clear if you see prepaid package.
So what i understood from prepaid package and considering that they are offering similar stuff.
User has to pay Rs. 1000 for the above pack.

LOL Whats the point of having the price for pack of Rs.2000 when you are giving the discount of Rs. 1000
Just to fool customers

well they have do something to show the pseudo reverse subsidy model.

the offer is i guess useful for folks who want to get the official version of the iphone 4.

1GB+ data and tons of calls and SMS in Rs. 1000 per month is a pretty decent deal I guess?

If you calc the cost of this pack...A2A calls are very cheap and there are loads of packs for that AFAIK
2000 LOCAL SMS would cost not more than Rs. 30-40
Rest if for 3G.
But as i checked for chandigarh the pack has been mentioned and as per my knowledge 3G has not been launched in CHD. It is cheating on the part of airtel.

BTW my friend has some jack in airtel and he gets more than these benefits for free every month

Data (3G*) 1350 MB

you did not notice the * ?

of course 3G would not work in areas where Airtel 3G is not available.

So if its a non 3G area then they will pay Rs.1000 for virtually Rs.200-300 stuff.

getting the subsidy model is optional in any case.

anyhow... anyone has an idea on whether the phone is locked or unlocked?
