The first ever mobile which I bought was siemens c28, It was a bad experience for me cause I was a new user an at that time this was very cheap handset. Thinking to be a seimens mobile phone I didn’t enquired much.
How the trauma began , everyday when I use to come back from college I use to just put it on charging, I had switched of the mobile an kept for charging when I removed from the charge an switched on I was surprised to see that it was not working. I took it to the dealer from which I had purchased, it was only a week I had purchased he looked at that mobile an told me to come tomorrow I asked him how much will it cost in repair he said I’ll tell you tomorrow.
I was very upset as I had purchased from the grey market I won’t get a insurance also, well next day I went to that dealer I asked him how’s my mobile he said some programming inside is burnt will cost me nearly Rs 2500 to make it proper. A week old mobile will cost me more Rs2500 I was really very upset so I told him that I had just purchased last week an this has happened .He told that the moment you buy an you leave our shop we don’t have any responsibility after that even he felt bad for me. So I planned to speak to the head office of siemens but when I dialed I didn’t get a good response. I was really disheartened after that.
Conclusion
Never buy a Handset for a grey market always purchase it for a good dealer pay little more but you’ll be safe for insurance coverage upto one year.
