See. You get an iPhone for say, $200 on contract. That's about Rs. 12000 here. Then you get it unlocked illegally, and hide it, say, at your friend's house. You call your carrier and claim theft. Then, when you get a new iPhone, you cancel the contract and give back the phone. The maximum you'd be spending here is Rs. 15000, including one month's bill and contract cancellation. An iPhone costs here in the region of Rs. 60000. People here jump at the chance to get a phone at a fourth of the regular price, honesty go damn.
