Telefonica has decided to revamp its Movistar Fusion convergent offer by including a free smartphone with all plans in a bid to promote its expanding 5G network. The 5G-enabled handsets available vary depending on the type of Fusion plan contracted by customers and include recent models from Xiaomi, Samsung and Oppo. Telefonica said its new portfolio of Movistar Fusion rates is available for new registrations and that existing customers can either remain with their existing plan or switch to one of the new offers to enjoy the same benefits.
The refreshed portfolio will be available from 11 April at prices around EUR 3 a month higher in exchange for the inclusion of a smartphone. Customers signing up to the company’s entry-level Fusion 0, Fusion Inicia, Fusion Inicia Infinito and Fusion 0 Pro convergent plans will be able to choose from phones including the Xiaomi Redmi 9 and Oppo A15, while Fusion Seleccion Plus, Fusion Seleccion and Fusion Pro subscribers can choose handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy A12 and Oppo A53s.
Finally, customers signing up to the premium Fusion Total Plus, Fusion Total and Fusion Pro 2 / Pro 4 plans will be given a choice of smartphones including the Oppo A53s, Samsung Galaxy A12 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T. All Fusion customers will also be able to select a model different to the default one by paying an additional EUR 2 to EUR 24 a month over 36 months depending on their chosen plan.
All Fusion plans come with fibre broadband at speeds of up to 1Gbps and two mobile lines, with prices ranging from EUR 65 a month (Fusion 0) to EUR 175 a month (Fusion Total Plus). By way of a launch offer, new customers will pay half the usual price for the first 3 months.
