Vodafone Idea (Vi) Price/Tariff Hike/Correction July 2024

[unnecessary]

Vi has hiked their tariffs including both prepaid and postpaid effective from July 4th.

Prepaid :

Postpaid :

Now as unlimited 5G is just a gimmick with other telcos, Vi has the best value plans in the industry in my opinion. From Data Delight, Weekend Data Rollover, Binge All Night, Vi Gurantee, Priority Care & Other things which only Vi offers uniquely makes them them stand out from everyone else. Also, after upgrading 4G sites and rolling out 5G in the coming months, this is going to be one of the best telcos in India as far as the experience goes (not just talking about raw download speeds).

329 (56 days) plan that a family member uses is gone or just not listed here. Dont think it will remain unchanged. It should be dropped or missing here

@mhsabir many plans are missing with all 3 telcos so people are confused whether they're gone or not. Just like last time, they aren't mentioned here but they will be increased as well or will be relaunched again with decreased benifits.

I love Vi's confidence. They are hiking tariff knowing they have none customer base

 

[SVK]

It was well known that mobile tariffs would go up after elections by 20-25%.
And VI is also part of some group of mobile operators along with Airtel and Jio, so once group decides to hike, VI has to follow no matter what.

If we look at table of price hike in above links, VI and Airtel does not have even Re 1 difference in their popular plans.

They should have delayed the hike for sometime and gained few customers back from Airtel and Jio.

Jio and Airtel at least have 5G deployed everywhere in India. I don't understand what Vi is going to offer for the hike. They don't even have proper infra

If my current recharge is of 1.5gb/ day for 84 days (Rs719) . If i recharge with annual pack of 2gb/day for around Rs3000 , would annual plan get queued or it would start from the date of recharge ?
I have doubts because benefits are different in both plans.
@unnecessary do you have any idea ?

There's no queuing concept like Jio in Vi and Airtel. They increase the validity only if they're of same denomination. Else, both plans will run in parallel.
