HIGHLIGHTS
- Vodafone is yet to convert its Rs 529 prepaid plan to offer 1.6GB daily data
- The telco's yearly plan of Rs 1,499 is now live in many circles
Vodafone is upping the ante in the prepaid segment as the telco has now introduced 1.6GB daily data recharges. Essentially, the telco did not launch any new plans, instead, it converted the existing 1.5GB daily data plans to offer 1.6GB data per day. Remember the 1.5GB daily data plans of Rs 209, Rs 479 and Rs 529 introduced by Vodafone last year? Well, the UK-based telecom operator has now modified the Rs 209 and Rs 479 plans to offer 1.6GB data per day, while the Rs 529 plan still offers 1.5GB data per day. Vodafone made this change because the telco has recently updated its Rs 199 and Rs 459 prepaid plans which now provides 1.5GB data per day, up from the earlier 1.4GB daily data limit. Except for the additional 100MB data benefit, the Rs 199 and Rs 209 offer similar benefits of unlimited voice calling, 100 SMS per day and 28 days validity.
Vodafone 1.6GB Daily Data Plans: What Do They Offer?
As noted, Vodafone has revised the Rs 209 and Rs 479 prepaid plans to offer 1.6GB data every day. Earlier, the same plans used to provide 1.5GB data per day, so a 100MB more data benefit has been added to the table now. Vodafone did not revise the Rs 529 prepaid plan which still offers 1.5GB data per day for 90 days. This is because the telco is still providing 1.4GB data per day with the Rs 509 plan. Once the Rs 509 plan becomes part of the 1.5GB daily data family, the Rs 529 will likely provide 1.6GB daily data.
Besides the data benefit, the Rs 209 and Rs 479 prepaid also ship with unlimited voice calling without any FUP limit, 100 SMS per day and Vodafone Play subscription for 28 days and 84 days respectively. Vodafone’s Rs 199 and Rs 459 prepaid plans now ship with 1.5GB data per day which is the reason why the telco upgraded the data benefit on Rs 209 and Rs 479 plans.
Vodafone Idea Launches Rs 1,499 Yearly Plan in Many Circles
Last week, Vodafone Idea introduced a yearly plan of Rs 1,499, following the introduction of various new plans from BSNL. The Rs 1,499 prepaid plan from Vodafone Idea provides 1GB data per day, unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS per day for 365 days from the date of recharge. Earlier, the same plan was introduced in less than five circles, but now, it has been extended to various circles including Vodafone’s non-4G circles.
Competing with Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel also launched a prepaid plan of Rs 1,699 with 365 days validity. Airtel’s all-new Rs 1,699 annual prepaid plan comes with 1GB daily data, unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS per day. Alongside the Rs 1,699 prepaid plan, Airtel also launched Rs 998 and Rs 597 long-validity prepaid plans. The Rs 998 prepaid plan from Airtel offers 12GB of data, 300 SMSes every month and unlimited voice calling for 336 days, while the Rs 597 plan offers 6GB of data, unlimited calling, and 300 text messages every month for 168 days.
