Vodafone Idea 2G Offer: Extra Validity Without Paying Extra, Only for Feature Phone Users

While India embraces 5G technology, Vodafone Idea (Vi) hasn’t forgotten its loyal 2G feature phone users. In a move that brings relief and excitement to millions, Vodafone has rolled out a special 2G offer that extends prepaid validity—completely free of cost.

This initiative is aimed at the massive population still relying on basic handsets and 2G services purely for calling. With over 200 million Indians still connected through 2G, this offer strengthens Vi’s commitment to inclusive connectivity.

What’s the Offer?

Starting July 1, 2025, Vi has launched a 2-day extra validity every month, translating into 24 extra days over the year for 2G users. That means instead of the usual 28-day cycle, eligible users will now enjoy 30-day validity per recharge, giving them more uninterrupted calling time and extra breathing space before recharging again.

And the best part? You don’t need to pay anything extra to avail this benefit.

Who Is Eligible?

This exclusive 2G validity offer is only available to users who:

• Use a 2G handset (feature phone)

• Have not upgraded to a 4G or 5G device

• Recharge with eligible prepaid plans

The offer is device-locked, which means it applies to a single mobile number and the IMEI number of a 2G device. If you upgrade to a smartphone, the offer will automatically be discontinued from your number.

How to Activate the Offer?

Activating the extra validity is simple:

• *Dial 999# from your 2G mobile phone

• Or, call 1212 and follow the IVR instructions

Once activated, you'll start receiving 2 extra days with every recharge—automatically applied to your plan.

Recharge Plans Eligible for This Offer

The offer is valid across a wide range of popular Vi prepaid plans, including:

• ₹199

• ₹218

• ₹224

• ₹232

• ₹289

• ₹339

• ₹1,999

By recharging with any of these plans, users can enjoy monthly bonus validity, making their talk time stretch further without spending more.

Offer Validity Period

This promotional scheme is available for a limited time. Users can activate the offer between July 1 and August 31, 2025. Once activated, the benefits will continue throughout the year unless the user upgrades to a higher-generation smartphone.

Why Is 2G Still Relevant in India?

While urban areas rush toward 5G, rural and semi-urban India still has a strong base of feature phone users who depend entirely on 2G networks for their basic communication needs. These users:

• Do not rely on mobile data

• Need a simple and affordable calling solution

• Use long-lasting, low-maintenance handsets

Vodafone’s new 2G offer ensures these users aren’t left behind in the digital race.

Final Thoughts

Vodafone Idea's free extra validity offer is a thoughtful gesture aimed at a segment that often gets overlooked. By rewarding loyalty and understanding the needs of 2G users, Vi ensures that even as India accelerates toward digital transformation, basic users remain connected, empowered, and supported.

If you're still using a 2G phone, this is the perfect time to enjoy extended value without any extra cost. Just remember to activate the offer before August 31, 2025
