Renting iPhone X at Rs. 3,200/month and other cheap offers!
Were you waiting eagerly for the launch of the iPhone X, but couldn't buy it due to its price? There's good news: you can now rent the high-end smartphone at less than Rs. 3,200 a month! You could also get the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Google Pixel for much cheaper. Find out how to score these lucrative deals.
You can get 70% of the phone's cost back!
One of the most exciting iPhone X offers to have come our way is Jio's buyback scheme (for iPhone 8/8 Plus/X). You will have to pay full price for the iPhone X 256GB (Rs. 1,02,000) and recharge with a minimum Rs. 799 plan. After 12 months, Jio will buy back the device at 70% of its cost.
Here's the fine print that you might have missed
The buyback is on the device's gross price minus taxes. So if the invoice mentions Rs. 1,02,000, its actual value is Rs. 91,072 (total minus 12% GST). Thus 70% of 'cost' will be Rs. 63,750 and its net cost (for you) will be Rs. 38,250: effectively Rs. 3,188 a month. You will get the refund in Reliance Digital credit note with three-month validity.
If you are sure, here's how to get the offer
You have to buy the phone from Reliance stores, Jio.com, MyJio or Amazon.in via seller Reliance Digital, at full cost (no EMI), between September 29-December 31. Damaged phones and those locked from Apple services won't be taken back. Normal wear and tear is acceptable. Here's a tip: you could buy gift vouchers with the credit note to get more validity (12 months).
