India’s largest 4G network, Reliance Jio has now partnered with Apple to increase the demand for its 4G VoLTE services. In case you have been living under a rock, Jio 4G network was commercially launched on September 5th, and offers unlimited everything (voice and data) under the ‘Jio Welcome Offer’ till 31 December 2016. Owners of all 4G phones can get their free Jio SIM for availing the benefits under this offer.
As per the latest announcement, Jio will offer free services to anyone purchasing a new iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and the iPhone SE.
“Today’s announcement brings together India’s best premium 4G network with the incredible iPhone experience,” said Mathew Oommen, President of Jio.
The company also stated that it would be for the first time that the mobile subscribers in India would be able to watch 300+ live TV channels, and have buffer-free FaceTime and HD voice calling.
To be eligible for this complementary offer which will kick in from 1 January 2017, the customers will have to buy an iPhone from Reliance Digital, or Apple Premium Resellers (APR), or Apple Authorized Resellers (AAR).
Jio’s Mouth-watering Offer For iPhone Buyers
The ‘Jio iPhone Offer’ will be valid from 1 January 2017 and the iPhone buyers will get the same benefits as Rs. 1,499 Jio Prepaid plan.
The iPhone users will not only get free and unlimited voice including STD and while roaming, but will also get 20 GB monthly 4G data plus 40 GB WiFi data. Other benefits include unlimited local and national SMS, 30 minutes of ISD calls along with a rate cutter plan, and Rs. 1,250 worth of subscription to Jio apps.
To incentivize the purchases at its own stores, Jio is also offering its iPhone customers Reliance Retail coupons worth Rs. 15,000. To motivate repeat purchases, the buyers would also be offered 10% discount on their second transaction at Reliance Retail stores.
iPhone Buyers Would Get The Best Of Jio Everywhere
The iPhone buyers would not only be able to enjoy home delivery and doorstep SIM activation, but would also get “Express Priority Experience” at Jio stores.
On the other hand, the Enterprise customers would get an exclusive discount on the above listed iPhone models along with special tariff plans.
It is worth noting that Airtel had announced extra 10 GB 3G or 4G data per month valid for 12 months for all iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on any Airtel Infinity plan, but Jio has one-up this with its ‘iPhone Offer’.
