Airtel & Aircel both
the operator's new plan are similar to their earlier iPhone plans with 50
percent claimed discount. Maximum savings of Rs 25,000 over two years.
As per the recent report from BGR,
iPhone 4S would land in India on November 24. Aircel, one of the
carrier in India who would bring the flagship device in the country
have already posted an image on their Facebook
page. The image says that iPhone 4S is coming soon. It is also rumored
that Airtel would be the second carrier to sell iPhone 4S in India.
Airtel and Aircel have announced
their tariff plans for iPhone4S, and plans are similar to what was already
available for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.
The phone is currently in the pre-booking stage and will start shipping
starting from 24th and 25th November from Airtel and Aircel respectively.
Airtel is offering plans starting at
a minimum monthly commitment of Rs 300, in which user gets 500 minutes local
calls, 300 SMS and 200 MB data free every month. Airtel claims this is
worth Rs 600 and therefore a discount of Rs 300 and savings of Rs 7,200 over
the two year period.
In Rs 1,000 monthly you will get
1,500 minutes of local calls, 600 SMS and 3 GB data per month. This plan is
claimed to be worth Rs 2,000 and therefore a total savings of Rs 24,000 over a
period of two years.
Previously, Airtel and Aircel were the two carriers who launched iPhone 4
in India. It seems that Vodafone would still remain out of the official
carrier trend to sell the iPhone. The sources also suggests that iPhone
4S could cost Rs 40,000/- in India for 16GB model. Whereas, iPhone 4S
64GB could touch the mark of over Rs 50,000/-. On the flip side, iPhone 4
8GB would cost more than Rs 30,000/-. Also, there is no confirmation if
it would be tied to carriers or users would get the freedom to choose
any sim card.
Two other plans with similar
discount will cost you Rs 500 and Rs 800. The plans remain same for both
prepaid and postpaid users across all models and version of iPhone including
iPhone 4S, 4, and 3GS.
Aircel is offering two plans only
costing Rs 950 and Rs 1,150 per month, and it claims is a 50% discount. On
offer is 3000 and 3500 minutes of both local and STD minutes, 350 and 450 SMS
and 650 MB 3G data, and 1 GB WiFi
data at Aircel WiFi hotspots every month for Rs 950 and Rs 1150 plans respectively.
The iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS will
only be available in 8 GB versions going forward. The iPhone 4S has been priced
Rs 44,500 for 16 GB version, Rs 50,900 (32 GB), and Rs 57,500 (64 GB).
While Aircel is offering more calls
and SMS free, data usage cap is much lower. So the choice between the two
depends on how much 3G access you need and how much you are willing to pay for
it.
Unlike Airtel plan, Aircel is
offering plans tied to the handset version which means a person buying 16 GB
version will get Rs 950 plan and 32 GB will get Rs 1150 plan only.
Aircel will continue to offer iPhone
4 in 16 GB and 32 GB versions with plans varying between Rs 399 to Rs 800. And
iPhone 3GS only one version will be available with option of Rs 299 and Rs 599
plans. All the plans are claimed to offer 50% savings over normal tariff plans.
