Vodafone Idea (Vi), India’s third-largest telecom operator, has introduced a new prepaid recharge plan aimed at heavy data users. Priced at ₹2,475, the plan comes with long validity and high data usage limits, positioning itself as a premium option for customers who consume large amounts of internet data.
What Does the Vi ₹2,475 Plan Offer?
The newly launched plan is being promoted with “unlimited data,” but it comes with a fair usage policy (FUP).
Key benefits include:
- Validity: 180 days
- Data: Unlimited (with FUP limit of 300GB per 28 days)
- Calling: Unlimited voice calls
- SMS: 100 messages per day
- Network: Works on 4G and 5G devices
Although marketed as unlimited, the usage is regulated through monthly data caps under the FUP policy.
How Much Does It Cost Per Day?
At ₹2,475 for 180 days, the plan works out to approximately:
- ₹13.75 per day
While the daily cost may seem reasonable for heavy users, it is still considered relatively expensive compared to basic recharge plans.
5G Access and Coverage
The plan supports 5G services, but users will only experience 5G speeds in areas where Vi’s network is available. Compared to competitors, Vi’s 5G coverage is still limited, though the company is gradually expanding its rollout across India.
Why Vi Launched This Plan
The telecom operator is focusing on:
- Increasing average revenue per user (ARPU)
- Attracting heavy data consumers
- Retaining long-term prepaid customers
- Strengthening its position in a highly competitive market
Long-validity, high-data plans like this are designed to encourage users to stay connected with Vi for longer periods.
Availability
The ₹2,475 prepaid plan is listed on Vi’s official platforms and can be purchased through:
- Vi website
- Vi mobile app
- Retail recharge channels
Final Takeaway
Vi’s new 180-day plan is clearly targeted at users who rely heavily on mobile data for streaming, work, and daily use. While it offers long validity and “unlimited” data in practice, the FUP limit means users still need to manage high usage carefully.
