Vodafone and Idea Cellular, India’s second and third-biggest telecom operators, have come up with new plans with daily data and free unlimited voice calls for prepaid customers to counter Reliance Jio Infocomm’s data-rich offers starting April 1.
Vodafone India’s new Rs 342 plan gives users unlimited calls and 28 GB of data per month, subject to a limit of 1 GB a day, as per the fair usage policy, according to text messages sent by the company to some subscribers.
A Vodafone spokesperson said the company offers “various segmented propositions” that are valid only till March 15.
Idea, an Aditya Birla Group telco, is offering unlimited voice and 500 MB of data a day for 28 days at Rs 348. A company spokeswoman said this offer is for non-data users with 4G handsets.
Bharti Airtel, the country’s largest telco, had earlier rolled out bundled plans at Rs 145 and Rs 349 to counter Jio’s Prime offer. Under these packs, Bharti Airtel is offering 14 GB of 3G/4G data over a month, bundled with unlimited voice calls, according to a Credit Suisse note.
Jio has offered free voice and data services since it started operations in September, helping the new entrant to net 100 million subscribers in record time. Starting April 1, the company’s existing users and those coming on board in March will get data benefits under 10 plans listed on its Prime service, while voice calls will continue to be free.
To make its Prime plans more attractive, Jio launched a buy-one-get-one-free offer on Friday for those recharging before March 31.
Customers recharging with Rs 303 will get an add-on of Rs 201 which will give them 5 GB of free data. For Rs 499 and above, customers will get a free add-on of Rs 301 giving them 10 GB of free data.
