Amid the raging tariff war among the telcos in India, one of them has now decided to be the flagbearer of a similar war in the DTH sector. Reliance has come up with a new ‘Dhamaka’ offer where it is providing free channels – both SD and HD – for up to 5 years to the new customers of BIG TV. Reliance BIG TV subscribers will get free access to subscribed channels, including High Definition channels, and up to 500 FTA channels for a period of up to five years. However, there is a catch with this ‘effectively’ free offer.
How to avail Reliance BIG TV ‘Dhamaka’ offer at ‘effective’ free price
In order to be eligible for the offer, the buyers will have to pre-book the Reliance BIG TV set-top box and its outdoor unit (ODU) by calling on the number – 18002009001, or by visiting the website. The Reliance BIG TV booking under the Dhamaka offer begins at 10 am on Friday, March 1. This is a limited period offer, so interested buyers should keep the offer period in mind. After the pre-booking is done, the delivery of the set-top box and ODU will begin after 30 days from the pre-booking date.
The customer will have to make an upfront payment of Rs 499 at the time of pre-booking. Then, at the time of arrival of the DTH setup units, remaining Rs 1,500 will require being paid by the customer. After a total payment of Rs 1,999 will entitle you the first year free of cost as per the offer conditions.
After you enjoy your first free year of channel subscription, the customers will be required to recharge their DTH number with minimum Rs 300 from the second subscription year. The monthly Rs 300 recharges have to continue for the next two years after the first free year, after which the customer will be eligible to receive a cashback of Rs 1,999 in the form of recharge values. This means that at the time of purchase, the total value of Rs 1,999 bought you the set-top box, its ODU, and a free year of channel subscription. Now, from the second year, the monthly recharge of Rs 300 amounts to Rs 7,200 for 2 years, out of which a cashback of Rs 1,999 is refunded to you.
