Vodafone Idea (Vi), one of India's popular telecom service providers, has taken a surprising step by reducing the validity of two of its existing prepaid recharge plans. This move was made after the telecom company faced a significant decline in its user base which was further followed by an increase in the recharge plan prices in July (2024).
Vi's Rs 479- Prepaid recharge plan: The recharge plan worth Rs 479, was earlier offering 56 days of validity, and it has now been cut down to 48 days. This plan further includes unlimited calling to any network, 48 free SMS per day and a certain amount of data for the users.
Vi's Rs 666- Prepaid recharge plan: Similarly to the Rs 479 recharge plan, this recharge plan (worth Rs 666) also witnessed a reduction in validity from 77 days to 64 days. Also, the plan offers unlimited calling to any network, 1.5GB of daily data, along with 100 free SMS per day.
Other recharge plans with up to 24 days of validity
As of now, Vodafone Idea (Vi) offers a variety of prepaid plans with short and long-term validity for the users.
