[vkharb]

hey guys this is my first post and i want to know 1 thing..
well it goes like this
i am from india and my friends are in u.s if they buy an iphone at $200 and then when they came back here in india they hand over it to me and then i jailbreak it and break the contract what consequences will my friend will suffer after going back to states ?
will they have to pay monthly installments? even giving an excuse that there phone is stolen ?
well the guys at at&t cant track me once i jailbreak it and unlock my iphone!!

.
or is there any possible way to get the iphone at $200 without any problems?
and use it here in india!

Your friend will have to pay the early termination fee (which is $175.00 I think), and will probably be responsible for the difference in price for an unsubsidized phone (an extra $300.00 or so)

so even if they lodge a complaint that their iphone is stolen then also they have to pay the early termination fee or the monthly installment???

Correct, I do believe that is the case...
