The Micromax-Vodafone Bharat 2 Ultra is priced at Rs 2,899, but users will get cashbacks which lowers the effective price of the device to Rs 999. Buyers will need to recharge their device with a minimum of Rs 150 per month for 36 months. The recharges can be of any denomination totaling to a minimum of Rs 150 per month. Users will receive a cashback of Rs 900 after 18 months and after another 18 months, a cashback of Rs 1,000 will be deposited in their Vodafone M-Pesa wallets.
Besides competing with Reliance Jio on the budget 4G phone front, Vodafone and other incumbent telecom operators have been engrossed in a battle to offer the most lucrative tariff plans to consumers. Airtel recently announced a Rs 999 plan with 50GB 4G data and rollover option to counter Jio. Vodafone also introduced a new postpaid scheme offering 90GB of 4G data and unlimited calls for six months at Rs 399.
