Re.1 Phone From Zong = Rs.1999 Out Of Pocket

Talk about getting attention … Zong has come up with another interesting promotion …. you get a phone, almost free but with a year’s payment in advance. This is equivalent to the US model where customers have to sign a contract to get a discounted phone. In Zong’s case they just get the money in advance (great for them) and hope that users will stay with them after 12 months. This ad leads to a few questions: will Zong give this to anyone who walks in? The ad mentions limited quantities …how many of these phones are there? I am interested in hearing your stories about this offer.
