You will only have to shell out Rs. 2, 599 for iPhone 5c (Quick Review) and Rs. 2,999 for iPhone 5s (Quick Review) per month for 2 Years. To avoid grey marketing all payments will be accepted by credit cards and for this Reliance has reportedly partnered with ICICI and HDFC banks.

Commenting on this innovative offer, Mr Gurdeep Singh, President & CEO (Wireless), Reliance Communications Limited, said: “We are delighted to be amongst the first to launch the Apple iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s in India and are focused on growing this user segment with our novel iPhone offers, which break all ownership rules and put the customer first. The Apple iPhone has been a dream for users in India and overseas, and it is our endeavor to grow this market and makeevery Indian’s dream come true with RCOM’s compelling and affordable iPhone ownership plan”

If you are buying iPhone 5c 16 GB under this scheme, you will have to pay 20,876 more than your iPhone 5c cost which also accommodates your usage charges for two years. If your tariffs are more than Rs. 850 (approx) you will get more than you put in. If you do the math for iPhone 5s 16 GB you will get similar deal.
