Airtel has announced this by introducing a new plan known as ‘iPhone for Life’. According to this plan, Airtel offers 5 GB, 10 GB and 15 GB data monthly at a price of Rs 1,999, Rs 2,499 and Rs 2,999 respectively. We must also note that apart from data, Airtel is offering unlimited local, STD and roaming calls. This offer is currently available only in Noida and Bengaluru.

The documents needed to avail this offer include

Currently, three Airtel stores in Bengaluru and a store in Noida is offering this currently. The condition that Airtel is imposing is that you must continue to use their ‘iPhone for life’ plan for at least 1 year. Also if you want to continue to use the phone after one year, you can pay the balloon price quoted by Airtel and can continue to use the phone with other SIM. Also you cannot get MNP service within one year of purchase of mobile. Also another advantage is that you get to upgrade to the latest iPhone after 1 year without paying full price. We must also note that we get unlimited calls along with bundled data.  And if you do not turn up after 12 months to return your phone, Bajaj Finance will automatically deduct the balloon payment.

If you want to use the phone with SIM of other companies, you need to foreclose the loan from Bajaj Finance Ltd by paying the full amount and get your NOC from them and submit at Airtel stores. After one year, the monthly tariff is reduced to Rs 1,199, Rs 1,599 and Rs 1,999 from Rs 1,499, Rs 2,499 and Rs 2,999 respectively. For more information please visit www.airtel.in/apple.
