The reported ₹40 increase affects an 84-day recharge, with daily data allowances potentially differing by telecom circle.
Vodafone Idea has reportedly replaced its ₹859 prepaid recharge with a ₹899 option offering 84 days of validity.
The revised price represents an increase of ₹40, or approximately 4.7 percent. Published reports describe benefits including unlimited voice calls, daily data, 100 SMS per day and additional data offers.
However, subscribers should check the plan shown for their own mobile number before recharging. Reports indicate that daily data allowances can vary between telecom circles.
Vi ₹899 Plan: What Has Changed?
The main reported change is the price, increasing from ₹859 to ₹899 while retaining 84-day validity.
| Detail | Previous recharge | Reported replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹859 | ₹899 |
| Validity | 84 days | 84 days |
| Effective daily cost | Approximately ₹10.23 | Approximately ₹10.70 |
The difference works out to approximately 48 paise per day over the validity period.
These daily figures are calculated comparisons, not daily billing rates. Customers pay the recharge amount upfront.
Reported Benefits of the ₹899 Recharge
The revised plan includes unlimited calling and 100 SMS per day, according to the available reporting.
Daily data is reported as 1.5GB in some circles and 2GB in others. Buyers should therefore use the allowance displayed in the Vi app or official recharge page for their number.
| Benefit | Reported details |
|---|---|
| Validity | 84 days |
| Voice calls | Unlimited |
| Daily data | 1.5GB or 2GB, depending on circle |
| SMS | 100 per day |
| Night data | Midnight to 6am |
| Weekend rollover | Included |
| Backup data | Up to 2GB monthly, subject to claiming terms |
| 5G | Available to eligible subscribers under applicable conditions |
The benefits visible at checkout should take priority over a general summary, particularly where regional offers differ.
Night Data and Unlimited 5G Are Different Benefits
The night-data offer allows eligible usage between midnight and 6am without reducing the daily data allowance.
It should not be described simply as a six-hour 5G benefit. Time-based night data and eligibility for unlimited 5G are separate conditions.
Access to Vi’s 5G service depends on factors including a compatible handset, network coverage and the applicable plan terms. Purchasing the recharge alone does not guarantee a 5G connection everywhere.
Subscribers should check whether any activation or usage conditions apply to their account.
Weekend Rollover and Backup Data
The reported weekend rollover benefit allows unused weekday data to be used over the weekend, subject to Vi’s conditions.
The plan also includes up to 2GB of monthly backup data, claimable through the Vi app.
These benefits serve different purposes. Rollover carries eligible unused data forward, while backup data provides an additional allowance when claimed.
Subscribers should check expiry rules and claiming requirements rather than assume unused benefits remain available indefinitely.
Check Streaming Access Before Paying
Reports also list access to Vi Movies & TV.
Subscribers should review the exact entitlement shown for their number, including supported devices, available content and access duration.
Access to a streaming app does not automatically mean every title or third-party subscription within its wider catalogue is included.
Has Vi Announced a Nationwide Tariff Increase?
The reporting concerns this particular recharge option. It should not be presented as confirmation that every Vi prepaid plan has become more expensive.
Likewise, the available information does not establish that all existing customers must immediately make an additional payment.
Subscribers should check the validity of their active pack and review the options available when their next recharge is due.
What Subscribers Should Do
Before purchasing, open the Vi app or official website, enter the relevant mobile number and review the complete ₹899 plan details.
Confirm the daily data allowance, 5G eligibility, validity, streaming entitlement and any conditions attached to additional data.
For customers comparing value, the useful calculation is the total cost over the validity period alongside the benefits they actually use—not the monthly-looking price alone.
