Celkon 4G Smartphone Effective Price Details

The Celkon Smart 4G smartphone comes at an effective price of Rs. 1,349, which is slightly lesser than the Airtel Karbonn A40 Indian smartphone. However, same as the Karbonn A40 India, user have to pay an upfront amount of Rs. 2,849 for the Celkon Smart 4G, and make 36 continuous monthly recharges of Rs. 169.

The customer will get a cash refund of Rs. 500 after 18 months, and another Rs. 1,000 after 36 months, which makes the total amount to Rs. 1,500 and also brings down the device’s price to Rs. 1,349.

Like the Airtel-Karbonn offer, in case the customer thinks that the Rs. 169 plan doesn’t fulfil his requirements, then she/he has the flexibility of recharging another plan of Airtel as per individual requirements. Nevertheless, to get the cash refund, a customer has to make recharges worth Rs. 3,000 before 18 months to claim the refund of Rs. 500 and another Rs. 3,000 over the next 18 months to claim the refund of Rs. 1,000.

The Rs. 169 tariff from Airtel offers 500MB data per day and unlimited voice calls for 28 days.
