Airtel lures customers with Rs 1649 offer for Intex Aqua LIONS N1

Bharti Airtel has partnered with Intex Technologies to offer Intex Aqua LIONS N1, a brand new 4G smartphone from the company, to Airtel customers at a price of just Rs 1649.

The move from Airtel further confirms the growing rivalry among service providers, leading to aggressive partnerships and innovations around products and services.

With this offer, customers will gain Rs 1950 from the market price of Rs 3799. However, to get this offer customers need to make a down payment of Rs. 3149, thereby availing a bundled pack from Airtel.

The customer is required to make 36 continuous monthly recharges of Rs 169 from Airtel. After 18 months, the customer will get a cash refund of Rs 500 and another Rs 1000 after the completion of 36 months, taking the total cash benefit to Rs 1500.
