Getting free calls when taking out a sim card with the bank

Q: Capitec bank have launched their own network. You can get a Capitec sim card by paying R10 for the sim like how normal networks charge for a sim. They have offered free calls to any Capitec sim. Is this permissible?

A: If this benefit is not at all related to having an account in the bank, but purely a network related matter then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
