The lack of a 5G network despite Airtel and Jio rolling out the latest network caused Vi to lose customers across the country. The only advantage for customers was the unlimited data availability at midnight.
In order to retain its lost customers, the telecom network has launched a couple of new plans. These come with varied benefits such as unlimited night data between 12 AM and 6 AM but there’s no SMS benefit to the user.
Vi has also introduced another prepaid plan with 250 days of validity.
Vi (Vodafone Idea) has continuously lost customers due to a lack of 5G connectivity and poor 4G speeds in most locations. One advantage for Vi customers was the unlimited data available at midnight.
Other major telecom companies, Reliance Jio and Bharati Airtel, has also started offering unlimited data for users with 5G smartphone and 5G network.
However, since there are many locations without 5G connectivity in India, the offer can only be accessed by a few people. The telecom company has launched a couple of new plans offering unlimited night data. The company has also launched another plan with a 250 days validity.
Check out the benefits and other details of the plans.
