Telecom major Bharti Airtel on Thursday announced a partnership to ‘bring affordable 4G smartphones to customers’. The news comes shortly after rival Vodafone announced a similar partnership with Samsung to bid cashback offers to customers.

Airtel has announced this partnership as a part of Airtel’s ‘Mera Pehla Smartphone’ initiative.

“Four top models from Samsung’s popular Galaxy J-series range – J2 (2017), J5 Prime, J7 Prime, and J7 Pro - will be available with attractive cashback offers, bringing down the effective price of the device and making them highly affordable for customers,” Airtel said.

Airtel further added that all devices would come bundled with Airtel’s special recharge pack of Rs 199 that offered 1GB data/day and unlimited calling.

The customers would need to subscribe to the telcos’ network in order to avail the cashback offer.

And only after completion of specified monthly recharges would the customers be entitled to the full cashback.

“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 instalment of Rs 300. They will be eligible for the second instalment of Rs 1200 provided they complete another set of recharges worth Rs 2500 over the next 12 months,” Airtel said.

Airtel said the offer will be available across India starting January 7, 2018. 

Here are the prices and the cashback offers on each phone.
