Vi (Vodafone Idea) has introduced a new limited-time initiative aimed at enhancing the data benefits for its 4G and 5G users in India. This program, known as the Vi Guarantee Programme, provides eligible users with an impressive 130GB of extra data over a span of 13 months. Below are the comprehensive details of this new offering from Vi.
Vi Guarantee Programme: Extra 130GB Data Benefits
Vi’s latest Guarantee Programme is designed to provide new 4G users and 5G smartphone users with an additional 130GB of data, distributed over 13 months. Here’s how it works:
Monthly Data Credit: Every 28 days, Vi will automatically credit 10GB of extra data to the user’s account. This cycle will continue for 13 months.
Eligibility: The extra data benefits are available to users on daily data unlimited plans starting from Rs 239 and above.
Data Usage: The additional data will be credited only after the user has exhausted their existing data quotas.
Geographical Limitations: The programme is not available in certain regions, including Andhra Pradesh, Assam, other states in the North East, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Orissa.
Claiming the Benefit: Eligible users can dial 121199 or 199199# to get more details and claim the guaranteed data benefits.
Vi’s Expansion Plans and Current Status
Vi launched its 5G services in select locations in India, including Delhi and Pune, last year. The telecom operator is now focusing on expanding its 5G network to more locations. According to a report by MoneyControl, Vi is in discussions with Ericsson, a Swedish telecom gear manufacturer, to supply the necessary 4G and 5G equipment. The rollout to new locations is expected to take place within the next six months.
In addition to expanding its 5G services, Vi aims to improve its 4G coverage across the country. Despite these efforts, recent data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) indicates that Vi has faced challenges, losing 16.25 million subscribers in the first 11 months of the fiscal year 2024. This includes a consistent loss of over a million subscribers each month from November 2023 to February 2024. Currently, Vi ranks third in India’s telecom market, following Jio and Airtel, which hold the first and second positions, respectively.
Conclusion
Vi’s Guarantee Programme is a strategic move to attract and retain customers by offering substantial additional data benefits. While the initiative is a positive step towards enhancing user experience, Vi’s broader goal is to expand and solidify its 4G and 5G network across India. This programme, combined with the planned network enhancements, could help Vi regain its competitive edge in the Indian telecom market.
