Airtel To Offer Xiomi Redmi Note With 4G

Bharti Airtel opened the bookings for Xiomi Redmi Note 4G starting on New Years Day. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G has been priced at just Rs 9,999 and will be available in 133 Airtel stores across six cities where the LTe service has been rolled out.

The telecom provider allows 4G services in 16 cities but will provide the Redmi Note at 133 stores across Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi-NCR and Kolkata.

Airtel also announced that it will organise a ‘Mi Day’ each week at select stores in these cities enabling customers to walk-in and walk-out with a Redmi Note 4G even without any pre-booking. “Mi India fans can book their device online and select their preferred Airtel store and date for purchasing the device,” Airtel said in a statement.

While Airtel postpaid customers having at least 500 MB 3G data pack activated on their connection can easily move to the Redmi Note, Airtel prepaid and non-Airtel customers will have to first opt for an Airtel postpaid myPlan when they purchase the Redmi Note 4G. Alternatively, Xiaomi fans could walk-in to select Airtel stores in their city during a “Mi Day” to purchase the Redmi Note 4G without pre-booking the same online. The devices will be sold at these stores on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Customers purchasing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G will also be provided a 4G SIM and will be able experience amazing 4G speeds on their device in cities where Airtel offers 4G services. Existing Airtel 3G users can enjoy 4G speeds on their new Redmi Note 4G at the same tariff as their existing 3G plan, without activating any special 4G plan. In cities where Airtel 4G services are not yet available, customers will be automatically upgraded to 4G at the same tariff as their existing 3G data packs as and when 4G services are rolled out in these cities.
