Vodafone revises Rs 139 prepaid plan; now brings only 3GB data
Telecom operator Vodafone has announced a new recharge plan that it hopes could help the company bring in new users and add to its user base. The company has revised its 139 recharge plan for the prepaid customers which earlier saw the telecom operator offer 5GB data, unlimited calling, and 300 SMS messages for 28 days.
The company has now revised it to offer this plan with slightly downgraded benefits. While the plan retains unlimited call and its previous messaging benefits, it does, however, bring only 3GB of data offering.
As per the latest information revealed by Telecom Talk, the new plan launched by the company brings with it 3GB of 4G/ 3G data, unlimited local, STD, and roaming calls, and 300 SMS messages for a validity of 28 days. The report also reveals that revised plan is available only in select circles and also to select users only.
The plan appears to have been launched to take on Airtel’s Rs 148 plan which also offers similar data benefits to users along with unlimited local, STD, and roaming voice calls as well as 100 SMS messages per day.
The plan comes after Vodafone had recently announced a revision to its Rs 129 plan in a bid to take on rival telecom player, Airtel. The popular prepaid plan was revised to get 2GB of data instead of 1.5GB for the validity period of the plan. Additionally, Vodafone had made these plans available across 22 telecom sectors — instead of being only available across select circles.
As per Vodafone, the new Rs 129 prepaid recharge plan comes with 28 days validity and 2GB high-speed data. Vodafone is also bundling additional benefits with the plan, including unlimited voice calling and 300 SMSes for the validity period. The plan also brings with it free subscription of Vodafone Play valid on this plan.
Earlier, this plan was provided by Vodafone in select circles. However, post this revision, it will become an open market plan one that will be available across 22 circles. Bharti Airtel’s plan is also available across multiple sectors and also offers similar benefits at Rs 129. Much like Vodafone, the Airtel Rs 129 plan gives subscribers unlimited voice calling, high-speed data and 300 SMSes valid for 28 days. There are also additional benefits of Airtel TV and Wynk Music with the plan.
