Vi Users Hit Hard: Validity Slashed for Rs 479 and Rs 666 Recharge Plans
Vodafone Idea (Vi) increased its prepaid and postpaid tariffs by an average of 15% in July 2024. Now, the company has made another move that could impact its customers—reducing the validity period of two popular prepaid recharge plans.
Major Telecom Operators Raise Prices
India’s leading telecom operators, including Jio, Airtel, and Vi, recently hiked their recharge rates, increasing them by about 15%. In addition to this, Vi has now reduced the validity of two of its well-known prepaid plans, dealing another blow to its customers.
Plans Affected
The two prepaid recharge plans affected by this reduction in validity are priced at Rs 479 and Rs 666. Both plans offer limited data, but the Rs 666 plan includes special Vi Hero benefits, which offer added perks and discounts. However, it’s important to note that except for the reduction in validity, all other features of these plans remain the same.
