Bharti Airtel has now partnered with Amazon to offer free one-year membership of Amazon Prime for its postpaid customers. At the moment, the offer is only available on Infinity plans, with recharge of Rs 499, Rs 799, and Rs 1,199 respectively.

The Amazon Prime membership costs Rs 999 per year, which rounds up to approximately Rs 83 per month.

Here's how Airtel Postpaid users can avail the free Amazon Prime membership offer:

1. Airtel users will need to download and install the Airtel TV app on their respective iOS/Android device. Once done, users will need to login via their respective postpaid phone number.

2. Once you open the app, a banner will appear with a message, to join Prime Videos.

3. You can click on the banner, which will re-direct you to a login screen. You will be requested to fill in the Amazon credentials.

With this subscription, users will have unlimited free one day and two-day delivery facility which would normally be priced at Rs 100, per package. Additionally, it also comes with Amazon Prime Video, an on-demand streaming service, similar to Hotstar.

Recently, Amazon applied for a trademark this week called, “AmazonTube” and “OpenTube” as the company’s public spat with Google continues to grow.

To recap, this spat escalated when Google said it would block its video streaming application YouTube from two Amazon devices and criticized the online retailer for not selling Google hardware.

Apart from similar-sounding names with YouTube, the two bear similar characteristics to the service too. According to a report by TV Answer Man, the company has stated that AmazonTube and/or OpenTube would provide “non-downloadable pre-recorded audio, visual and audiovisual works via wireless networks on a variety of topics.”

Later in the description, Amazon describes the new service as an on-line network services that enable users to share content, photos videos, text, data, images and other electronic works relating to entertainment, including, movies, television, audiovisual works, music, audio works and many more.

The feud is the latest in Silicon Valley to put customers in the crossfire of major competitors. Amazon and Google, which is owned by Alphabet, square off in many areas, from cloud computing and online search, to selling voice-controlled gadgets like the Google Home and Amazon Echo Show.
