Telenor launches free insurance for mobile phone users

• In a first from a telco in India, Telenor will begin offering life insurance to its new and existing customers, with covers starting from Rs 5,000 going up to Rs 50,000, while consumers don’t need to pay any premium.
• The plan allows Telenor’s existing 47.5 million customers to get enrolled in the scheme by either calling up customer service or visiting one of ?the company’s 2100 stores in six circles where it operates. New customers can get enrolled with little documentation, and get a cover equivalent to 100 times the value of recharge done on their prepaid number.
