Aiming to further enhance consumer experience on its popular service Nokia Music, Nokia has announced partnership with Vodafone India to offer an integrated billing solution on the Nokia Music Store.
Vodafone India consumers using Nokia’s music service on their Nokia feature phones and Nokia Asha smartphones can now easily renew their subscriptions via their Vodafone accounts and continue to download songs and albums from the Nokia Music Store.
Renewal subscriptions for the Nokia Music Store are available for three durations, viz. 7 days for Rs.50, 30 days for Rs.99, and 90 days for Rs.250. Taxes and data charges are separate, as applicable. With this integration, Vodafone India consumers can pay for the renewal as part of their monthly phone bills or have the amount debited from their pre-paid balance.
With this, Nokia Music Store becomes the first independent music store in the country to offer integrated operator billing along with billing via credit cards and vouchers. This marks a big step forward towards broadening monetization and strengthening the music ecosystem in India.
Vivek Mathur, Chief Commercial Officer, Vodafone India, said, “We, at Vodafone India, are constantly on the lookout to provide innovative experience to our valued customers. Nokia and Vodafone share a long-standing and extremely fruitful association and this new venture will help us provide enhanced experience to our customers.”
Viral Oza, Director - Marketing, Nokia India, said, “Both Vodafone and Nokia are committed to offering the consumer a richer experience and growing the music ecosystem in India and we are excited to broaden our strong relationship with music as it furthers these objectives.”
