Vodafone Idea launches Rs 99 prepaid plan with 28 days validity

Vodafone Idea (Vi) has introduced a new prepaid plan for its customers claiming to be the only pan-India, high-speed data network which is offering essential mobile connectivity with both voice and data services at this price point of Rs 99. 

The announcement came at a time when Airtel discontinued its Rs 99 smart pack. Now in Airtel, customers must recharge with a minimum of Rs 155 to keep their number active. Jio also offers a minimum recharge plan of Rs 155 per month.

The Rs 99 plan offers a full talk time balance of Rs 99 along with 200MB data and local, national calls will be chargeable at Rs 2.5p/sec which will be deducted from the available balance. Notably, it does not include outgoing SMS benefits. 

“Catering to the affordability of consumers, Vi continues to take measures to offer the best in class mobile services at most attractive price points. We invite mobile users and non-users to join the high speed Vi network at just Rs. 99 and continue enjoying the benefits of mobile connectivity in the digital era. This will not just drive inclusivity but also enable more users to enter the digital bandwagon,” a Vi spokesperson said in a statement. 

This plan is designed for “bottom of pyramid users,” to allow them to maintain basic connectivity at affordable rates. Additionally, the company will also target customers who use the number as a secondary sim and want to keep it active at the lowest possible cost.
