Vodafone-Idea hikes prepaid tariff plan, to charge for other network calls

New Delhi : Vodafone-Idea on Sunday announced a hiked tariff plan for its prepaid customers, effective from December 3. The announcement comes days after the company hinted about the development in the same regards.

Making an official statement, the company said, “Vodafone India Limited (VIL), India’s leading telecom service provider, today announced new tariffs/plans for its prepaid products and services. New plans will be available across India starting 00:00 hours of 3 December 2019.”

Other than this, the company will also impose fees of 6 paise per minute to the other operator calls.

The company has announced the tariff hikes under the categories of Combo Vouchers, Unlimited Packs (28-day validity), Unlimited Packs (84-day validity), Unlimited Annual Packs (365-day validity), Unlimited Sachets and Free Recharges.

The users will be able to get the plans via apps, websites, e-wallets, USSD and local recharge outlets.
