Latest Offer! Vodafone, Idea Offering 400 MB Extra Daily Data on Rs. 499 & Rs. 399 Prepaid Recharge Plans

It seems like providing additional mobile data is the new tactic of retaining subscribers and attracting new ones in India's telecom industry. Once, Airtel and BSNL started doling out extra mobile data for their existing recharge plans, now Vodafone-Idea is also following the same.

Interestingly, Vodafone and Idea subscribers are reportedly being offered 400MB of additional data on top of their daily data allowance on select prepaid plans. Surprised? Well yes! Thanks to the new incentive, Vodafone and Idea subscribers will now get 400MB of extra daily data with the Rs. 499 and Rs. 399 prepaid recharge plans.

Benefits of Vodafone-Idea's Latest Offer:

The latest offer directly takes on Airtel, which started doling out 400MB of additional daily data with a trio of prepaid recharge plans since May.

According to a report by Telecom Talk, Idea subscribers who opt for the Rs. 499 and Rs. 399 bundled prepaid plans will now get extra 400MB mobile data on top of their daily data allowance. But, the additional data offer can only be availed if the recharge is done by the My Idea Recharge and Payments app.

However, on the other hand, Vodafone subscribers who opt for the Rs. 399 plan will now get the extra 400MB daily benefit, after it is availed by the My Vodafone app. Though, we were able to independently verify that the Rs. 499 recharge plan does not feature the additional data offer.

Idea's Rs. 499 prepaid recharge plan offers 2GB of data per day, but now with the new offer, the daily data allowance stands at 2.4GB. Likewise, Vodafone and Idea subscribers will get 1.4GB of data per day, up from the daily quota of 1GB of the Rs. 399 recharge. Other conditions such as validity, calling and SMS benefits will remain the same.
