Virgin Mobile, the youth-oriented mobile in India is now offering its mobile services online. The Tata Teleservices branded offerings are been made available on the Virgin Mobile website from where users can purchase the Virgin Mobile products.
The services are also packed in with a lot of goodies like additional talk time, extra messages and other freebies one of which is the Bak Bak offer. The Bak Bak offer gives Rs.100 worth of free talktime, 500 free SMSs, lifetime validity and a free prepaid connection on purchase of every handset to its online customers.
M. A. Madhusudan, Chief Executive Officer, Virgin Mobile India, said, “With 44 percent of the total Internet population in India within the age group of 19-24 years, this medium has become an integral part of youth’s lifestyle. It is therefore logical for us to extend our presence to the online space and offer our customers the convenience and comfort of buying Virgin Mobile connection at the click of a button.”
“We are confident that we will receive a positive response on this initiative and are hopeful of acquiring a significant portion of our customer base through our online channel over the next two years,” added Madhusudan.
Since the internet use in India is gradually increasing, all thanks to the youth, Virgin Mobile officials describe this service as a smarter way for the users to purchase mobile products.
The delivery of Virgin Mobile handsets purchased online will be carried by Blue Dart with Billdesk for payment authorization. All that the users have to do to purchase handsets online is log in the website, select handset, plan and their free gift and number of their choice.
