Vodafone and Airtel, two of India’s biggest service providers, today announced a strategic partnership with Samsung for cashback offers on select Samsung Galaxy J-series smartphones on monthly recharge of Rs. 199 and Rs. 198, respectively.
Under this offer Samsung Galaxy J2 (2017), Galaxy J5 Prime, Galaxy J7 Prime, and Galaxy J7 Pro will be available with attractive cashback offers. These devices will come bundled with Airtel’s special recharge pack of Rs 199 that offers 1GB data/day and unlimited calling.
The Rs 1500 cashback will be disbursed to customers over 24 months. At the end of 12 months, customers who have done recharges (in any denomination of their choice) worth Rs. 2500 will be eligible for the first installment of Rs. 300. They will be eligible for the second installment of Rs. 1200 provided they complete another set of recharges worth Rs. 2500 over the next 12 months.
Vodafone customers, both existing and new, can purchase any of the popular Samsung 4G smartphones – Galaxy J2 Pro, Galaxy J7 Nxt or Galaxy J7 Max to enjoy the cash back offer of Rs. 1500.
To avail this special offer, prepaid customers have to recharge with Rs 198 per month for 24 months which would give them unlimited voice calls and 1GB data/day (or any other recharge cumulating to Rs. 198/- per month.).
Postpaid customers need to opt into any one of Vodafone’s attractive Red Plans. At the end of the first 12 months, users will receive a cash back of Rs. 600 and after another 12 months, a cash back of Rs. 900 respectively, thus availing a total cashback of Rs. 1500. The cash back will be credited to their Vodafone M-Pesa wallets.
