Bharti Airtel has announced that it will offer a 2-year insurance cover to its customers who purchase iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in any of its designated outlets in Kenya.  

 The insurance for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is designed to cover against theft or accidental damage. Accidental damage means physical damage or destruction caused by an accident. The insurance cover is an addition to the default one-year warranty from Apple upon purchase of an iPhone and any Apple accessories contained in the original packaging.

Airtel has also announced that it will offer unique data plans to customers who purchase the new devices from Airtel outlets. Customers who buy the 16GB which goes for Ksh85, 999 or the 64GB iPhone 6 that costs Ksh95, 999 will get a 3GB data per month for 3 months. Customers who purchase the 16GB at Kshs95, 999 or 64GB iPhone 6 Plus at Ksh105, 999 will get 4GB data per month for 4 months. 

While announcing the offers, Airtel Kenya CEO Adil El Youssefi said that the insurance plan will ease customers lives as they will be assured that they will have their handsets replaced once lost, stolen or accidental damaged.  

Mr. El Youssefi further said; “Besides the competitive pricing and unique data offers,  the device insurance offer by Airtel provides our customers with safety and security of their devices and the peace of mind while they use their iPhone device powered by Airtel's quality network in Kenya”.   

Phone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are available at the following Airtel shops in the country: Parkside shop, Sarit Centre shop, Koinange shop, Moi Avenue shop, Mombasa Moi Avenue shop, Nyali shop, Galleria, Lavington, Village Market, Nyeri shop and Eldoret Shop.
