Aircel has partnered with D-Link - a Leader in wireless networking, to offer 3G data benefits to its customers across the country.
The reverse bundling offer will enable customers to get 1 GB of free 3G data per month for a period of three months. The offer will be available for customers who activate an Aircel 3G SIM on D-Link data card namely ‘D-Link DWM-156' and routers namely ‘D-Link DWR-512 and DWR-730'.
"The partnership is aimed at driving data growth in India by offering high-end 3G experience to the customers," the company said in its statement.
"To avail the benefits, customers need to make a total recharge of Rs 100 per month post activation; free 3G benefits will be over and above recharge benefits," it said.
" A recent report by IAMAI and IMRB estimates that by June 2014, India will have 243 million Internet users, at which point of time, it is expected to overtake the US as the second largest Internet base in the world. This clearly indicates that India is now experiencing a data revolution and operator- device tie-ups will play a significant role in strengthening the telecom ecosystem, which is critical to fuel this growth. We are confident that with D-Link's superior hardware technology and Aircel's robust network capabilities, we will be able to provide a wholesome 3G experience to our customers," said Anupam Vasudev, Chief Marketing Officer - Aircel.
