Hey..Is this true that mobile prices r less in Subhiksha stores than anywhere else...They advertise so much on TV that one will not get a mobile at a cheaper price anywhere else...

Has anyone ever bought a mobile from a Subhiksha store?? Should we buy from there or anywhere else??

Please share ur experiences..

I think they r PARTIALLY CORRECT... The price of mobiles are rs.200-300 cheaper in SUBHIKSHA as compared to market price.....moreover u can call them anytime, for checking prices....

Hi, The prices of Subhiksha are cheaper (by 100 to 400) if compared to big mobile shops like Nokia Priority, The Mobile shop etc, Big Bazaar etc, but, there is always scope for negotiations when it comes small mobile shops.
Even Prices are quite competitive in ALFA , MUMBAI.

Has anyone bought any mobile from Subhiksha???

Ya may be u can negotiate better in small mobile shops than these mobile outlets such as Subhiksha, Priority Dealer, Mobile Store etc. These mobile outlets may b having fixed prices..

Subhiksha is obviously cheaper than The Biggies but you can get cheaper rates if you look hard. In Mumbai, Alfa, Heera panna.

Check out the local shops. And buy from wherever you get the lowest rates.

Subhiksha even answers SMS with prices. So why not SMS them to find prices and compare with a store of our choice?

Try this number 04060607777

i don't think they are cheaper then the local dealers

as i called them to ask the rates of NOKIA 6233 they said it is 7300 /- and at local dealer it is 6970 /-

well i bought my mobile from MOBILE STORE so i will suggest you that only

^u said MOBILE STORE? they just plainly asking too much price man! :shock:
"themobilestore" is resting there,when small shops are crowded with ppl in my town(obviously cheaper!).

To those from Kerala,never get mobile from Penta Menaka!they are Royal PITA to manage with.apart from they being goonda log :x !get from gcda or even from towns like Aluva,Angamaly where,it is way cheaper :|
