as the title states iphone 4 is officially unlocked in canada for around Rs.30,000 for the 16 gb , so what would be the cheapest way to get it (if u have no relatives staying there).
any help would be very much appreciated.
 
@armaan Why do you want to buy the iPhone from Canada especially when none of your relatives stay there?
Why not get it from Hong Kong or Indonesia?
As far as I know, the iPhone is the cheapest in Hong Kong and Indonesia. And all the phones are sold unlocked due to government regulations.
 
Armaan you are right iphone(unlocked) is available cheapest in canada if you have a look at currency conversion rates. But it is not advisable to buy it from there if you dont have any relatives coming from there as :

1.you will have to bear heavy import duty if you get it via courier and it will defeat the purpose of getting iphone for less.

2.iphone doesnt have international warranty unlike other apple products like ipods and macs, so you will have to incur high transportation charges to canada and then back to india for warranty claims.
 
Thanks guys so from where would be the cheapest to get and how to get it. Well @hotshot it was the country to report the price of iphone 4, thats why wrote about canada.

p.s waddabout australia too.
