Reliance Communications (RCOM), the Anil Ambani-owned telecom operator, has reportedly entered into a tie-up with Apple to bundle iPhone handset with its service plans. Through this tie-up, the telecom operator will offer as much as 50% discount on data service on its 3G, or third generation, network to iPhone users on its network. The plans are being rolled out in seven cities, including Mumbai and Delhi to start with, and are restricted to iPhone users.
RCOM has proposed the most discounted plan offering 6 GB of data surfing a month at Rs 804 for iPhone data users on its network. It will also offer premium numbers to new iPhone customers on its network, and free access to applications What’s App, Facebook and Twitter for three months.
Apple is also one of the only LTE or 4G technology device makers and the latest iPhones and iPads come in variants that can operate on the upgraded technology. RCOM is a passive infrastructure - telecom towers and optic fiber - provider for Mukesh Ambani’s Relaince Jio Infocomm, which is the only company in the country with airwaves to provide high-speed Internet connectivity on 4G across India.
