So far, the initiative seems to be interesting. Anyway, let us go deep into the terms and conditions under this effectively free feature phone tie-up.
Courtesy to the press-release, the offer goes like this: Upon purchasing a
LAVA phone, Vodafone customers can avail cashback worth Rs 50 for 18 months on minimum recharge of Rs 100 in a calendar month. With the credited talktime of Rs 50 every month, customers can enjoy an assured Rs 900 in 18 months – which covers the cost of a new handset purchase in most instances. And, the offer is applicable on the below-mentioned LAVA feature phones.
Now, it’s crystal clear. Yeah, the cashback of Rs. 900 is assured, and the only catch is – you have to wait for 18 months(1 and half year!!) to get back your spent amount. Seems, funny isn’t it? And Kinda JioPhone strategy.
Well, it’s quite sure that Vodafone through this initiative tries to overcome the terror deployed by JioPhone in the telecom industry. Similarly, Airtel is also soon expected to launch its 4G feature phone as a competitor for the JioPhone.
