Airtel has partnered with Celkon to
launch Celkon Smart 4G, a VoLTE phone with support for 24 Indian languages at
an effective price of Rs. 1349. It is part of Airtel’s Mera Pehla 4G Smartphone
initiative under which the operator will partner with multiple mobile
manufacturers in an aim to create an ‘open ecosystem’ of affordable 4G
smartphones and bring them to market for virtually the price of a feature
phone.
This gets the same Rs. 169 plan that offers
unlimited calling and 0.5GB 4G data per day for 28 days. You need to pay
upfront amount of Rs. 2,849 and do 36 continuous monthly recharges of Rs. 169.
You will get a cash refund of Rs 500 after 18 months and another Rs. 1000 after
36 months, taking the total cash benefit to Rs 1500.
If you don’t need the bundled plan, you can do any
recharge, but to claim the cash refund benefit, recharges worth Rs. 3000 must
be done within the first 18 months to claim the first refund installment of Rs.
500 and another Rs. 3000 over the next 18 months to claim the second refund
installment of Rs. 1000.
