Vodafone offers 2GB free data with Micromax handsets

In an attempt to increase data adoption, Vodafone India is offering free data usage of up to 2GB for Micromax customers, who are not active on data packs. The offer, which is initially available on the Canvas Knight smart phone, will be extended to a wider portfolio of Micromax devices.

''At Micromax, we design and develop mobile products which act as solutions to the needs of the fast-evolving consumers, aiming to provide an enriching device experience. This partnership embodies our endeavor of democratising technology for the masses, and we are delighted to partner with Vodafone, the pioneer in their domain, as they share the same belief too,'' said Shubhodip Pal, Chief Marketing Officer at Micromax, the country's second largest smartphone manufacturer.

''We are always looking at opportunities to provide maximum value to our customers through unique partnerships and tie-ups. Our initiative with Micromax is yet another step in that direction. We believe that using the Canvas Knight Smartphone on the Vodafone network will provide an enriching experience for our customers,'' said Vivek Mathur, Chief Commercial Officer at Vodafone India.

The Canvas Knight boasts of a 1.7GHz True Octa-Core processor packed with 2GB RAM, and is priced at Rs19,999.
