Vi launches Weekend Data Rollover on unlimited prepaid packs starting Rs 249

Vi (formerly Vodafone Idea) has today rolled out ‘Weekend Data Rollover‘ benefit which will allow Vi customers on unlimited packs to roll over their unused data which can be used on the weekend. The rollover will be available as a promotional offer which is applicable from 19^th Oct 2020 to 17^th Jan 2021 exclusively on VIL prepaid unlimited calling and daily data quota packs of Rs 249 and above.

The weekend data rollover feature will allow you to carry forward your unused data daily from weekdays to weekends. The data saver benefit will let you accumulate unused daily data quota from Monday to Friday for use on Saturday and Sunday.

The data saver benefit will be available free of cost on all unlimited recharge plans above Rs 249 which come with a daily data cap. The data saver benefit will be available to all Vi prepaid customers who can enjoy the benefit by recharging with the unlimited packs with daily data quota.

How does Vi Weekend Data Rollover work?

If you recharge any of Vi’s GB/day unlimited packs over Rs 249 post the recharge your un-utilized data during the weekend will get carried forward automatically and transferred to weekends.

Suppose you have a 3GB daily data quota as part of your unlimited prepaid plan, you save 1GB on Monday, 0.5GB on Tuesday, 0.5GB on Wednesday, 1.5GB on Thursday, and 1GB on Friday then the unused daily data quota will accumulate to 4.5GB data which can be used along with your daily data quota on the weekends.

How does Vi Weekend Data Rollover work?

The fixed data quota accumulated will have precedence for use over the daily data quota during the weekends with the daily data quota only kicking in on weekends after you have exhausted the rollover data. There will be no capping on the accumulation of the unused rollover quota.

Any accumulated data which is left unused will be forfeited post applicable week i.e post 24 hours of Sunday. The weekend rollover data accumulated will be available in the Active Packs & Services section of the app. Alternatively, one can check the same through *199# USSD code as well.

The weekend rollover will apply to the full double data quota on unlimited plans which currently offer double data benefit. Vi will also offer weekend data rollover benefit with additive validity from subsequent recharges only incase of unlimited packs offering additive validity.

Incase the unlimited plan expires while having unutilized roll over quota and there is a gap between previous pack expiry and new eligible unlimited recharge then the previous unused roll-over benefit will get forfeited and new quota will start afresh from the new UL recharge date.
