Do you know what a consortium is? This type of tool helps when buying something with a high value. That said, Vivo, one of the most important telephone operators in Brazil, has brought an innovation in this regard.
This new feature brought by the company this time can help those who want to change their cell phone. The brand is interested in launching a new consortium service. Vivo tested the interest of 500 thousand people for this. Continue reading and find out more.
Mobile consortium
Seeing this great public interest, Alive decided to form a consortium. In this first case, a 24-month plan is offered for cell phones between R$3,000 and R$10,000. In the first phase of the new service, the number of places available will be limited. After the first batch, interested parties will be placed on a waiting list. These people will be called when other quotas become available.
Vivo's new consortium was developed with Klubi. The fintech received an investment of R$10 million from Vivo Ventures, the company's capital arm.
How does it work?
If you are interested in the latest cell phone model but are short on cash, a cell phone consortium is an alternative to finalizing your purchase. Anyone who wants to buy something of greater value will soon start thinking about the possibility of forming a consortium. With the popularization of this type of purchase, other ways have emerged and today many items can be purchased in this way.
It is usually the purchase of expensive things like cars, houses and land, but the consortium's current plans include plastic surgery, parties and even the purchase of cell phones.
Due to the advancement of technology and its importance in everyday life, almost everyone today cannot live without a smartphone. A good cell phone has become indispensable and a tool for entertainment, communication and, often, work.
With the rising cost of cell phones, the idea of buying through a consortium is appealing. Newer models with more desirable features are becoming more expensive every day. If you’re looking to trade in a newer model of your device, see if a consortium is right for you.

The difference between a traditional syndicate (for cars, houses or motorcycles) and a mobile phone syndicate is the purpose of the letter of credit. In this case, the items purchased after consideration are electronic devices. Therefore, it can be assumed that this type of consortium works like any other more typical consortium. That is, when contracting a consortium, buyers commit to pay in installments and receive a letter upon consideration or end of the plan.
This factor can be a disadvantage if the buyer's main goal is to get the latest model. Because sometimes you have to wait a year or more, and in the meantime, the latest devices can cost more.
However, as electronics become more and more expensive, many people are turning to this method of purchase. The iPhone, one of the most coveted brands, is an example. One of the latest models, the Iphone 13 Pro Max, is over R$ 10,000.
Smartphones are valuable, so cell phone consortium is a way to have access to these devices, along with laptops and tablets.
