Vodafone makes the market more competitive with two affordable tariff plans Rs 99 and Rs 555

Vodafone has come up with two new tariff plans – Rs 99 and RS 555. These plans are currently available in select circles and offer unlimited voice calling. Earlier it has revised its tariff plans along with other telcos during the tariff hike in December.

The newly introduced plans are similar to that of Rs 149 and Rs 598 plans which were available before tariff hike. However, the new plans have reduced validity while offering the same data and voice benefits.

In addition to unlimited calling and high-speed data allocation, these prepaid plans are bundled with a complimentary Zee5 subscription worth Rs 999, and Vodafone Play subscription worth Rs 499.

The Rs 99 plan is basically for the subscribers who do not wish to opt for unlimited data plans but they are interested for unlimited voice calling. It offers 1GB data, 100 SMS and unlimited voice calls to all networks with a validity of 18 days.

As part of the Rs 555 plan, Vodafone is offering 1.5GB and 100 SMSes per day and unlimited voice calls to all networks with a validity of 70 days. Interestingly, the company’s Rs 599 plan offers the same benefits for 84 days.

On comparing the new Vodafone plan with plans offered by Airtel and Jio then these telcos do not offer plans with similar validity as Vodafone’s.

Jio has a Rs 98 + Rs 10 IUC top-up plan that offers 2GB data, unlimited Jio-to-Jio calls, 124 minutes non-Jio calls and 300 SMSes with a validity of 28 days. Airtel has a Rs 149 plan that offers 2GB data, unlimited voice calls and 300 SMSes with a validity of 28 days.

The Rs 555 plan directly competes with Jio’s Rs 555 plan and Airtel’s Rs 598 plan. Jio’s plan offers 1.5GB data per day, unlimited Jio-to-Jio calls, 3,000 non-Jio minutes and 100 SMSes per day for 84 days. Airtel’s Rs 598 plan offers 1.5GB data per day, unlimited voice calls and 100 SMSes per day for 84 days.
