Most of us get promotional leaflets along with our credit card bills. I have fallen in trap of one such company called 360 Gifts- Kaviraj Housewares located in Bangalore. They advertised a Sony Ericsson model K770i, which I purchased in Sept 2009 for Rs. 7998/-. Within 6 months I started facing the following problems:
1. The handset would just go dead anytime
2. Camera stopped working
3. Headphones stopped working
4. FM radio stopped working.

In short this was a worthless show piece. After umpteen follow-ups I was asked to take my instrument to Sony Ericsson service center. On taking the instrument there I was told that this model is 2 years old and the company has stopped manufacturing this model and there is no warranty or guaranty to this handset. This came as a shocking truth to me.

After contacting 360 gifts regularly I was asked to courier the handset and invoice to their Bangalore office. I have done this on 5/5/10. Till today I have not received any communication from their end. I have only and only been following up with them, but I do not get any concrete reply. The customer representative, who was handling my case, now refuses to come over the telephone whenever I call up.

I am suffering immensely because of this company. I strongly recommend not purchasing any product from them.

thank a ton to all those who have complaint about gift360.in
as i was about to book a home theatre and a sony cybershot from them...u saved my money.and time..thanks a lot to all...and especially consumer complaints for a forum like this.thank you.

All the mobiles have a number in-built.

It is written in it by manufacturer and it is a 16digit number this number is usefull when our mobile gets stolen.

We can block the mobile handset by using this number.


With the help of Service provider we can also recover the mobile

just press *#06# you will get a IMEI number. It works for all kinds of mobile.

Just store that number some where it is usefull if your mobile gets lost or stolen.
