Hi.

I am planning to buy the Sony Xperia S phone which I am getting for a very cheap price (without bill or manufacturer warranty). The price quoted is around 17-18k.
Should I risk it and go for this irresistible deal or rather buy a phone with bill for the same amount (18k).
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance..

yah i know the deal looks tempting. 18k for a mobile that sells for 28k. But best will be to skip it and go for something with genuine bill. Cause if you ever need to visit service center, you'll have to repeatedly visit for service.

Err may I ask from where you are getting it for 18k ? It sound too good to be true. And frankly impossible.

I am pretty sure you are being duped. There is no way anybody could sell you an Xperia S for 18k. The lowest I heard was one guy getting a USED Xs for 23k. So I think you should think again. And nor is the Xperia S sold in US, so there is no chance that its imported from US and hence the low price.

If the seller is reliable and trustworthy then you can buy the phone.
Otherwise not recommended to buy from an unknown and non trusty person.
