Vodafone launches ₹997 long-term plan: Check data benefits, validity, and more

Vodafone has introduced a new long-term plan for its prepaid subscribers in India. Priced at ₹997, the plan is available in select circles. The new plan joins Vodafone's other long-term plans such as ₹1,499 and ₹2,399.

First spotted by Telecomtalk, Vodafone's ₹997 plan offers 1.5GB daily data with a validity of 180 days. The plan also includes unlimited calling and 100 SMSes per day among other benefits. Vodafone is also bundling free Vodafone Play subscription which includes ZEE5 Premium content worth ₹999 for one year.

The website points out that the ₹997 plan is a better deal than Vodafone's ₹2,399 annual prepaid plan which offers 1.5 GB per day along with 100 SMSes per day. Subscribers get unlimited calls along with Vodafone Play subscription worth ₹499 and a ZEE5 subscription worth ₹999 under the ₹2,399 plan. If anyone recharges ₹997 plan twice in the year, he can save about ₹400, the report added.

The new plan comes shortly after Vodafone introduced ₹99 and ₹555 prepaid plans in India.

For ₹99, Vodafone is offering unlimited calling, 1GB data and 100 SMS (local and national). The validity of the pack is 18 days and is available in select circles such as Madhya Pradesh, Kolkata, Orissa, and Chattisgarh.

Under the ₹555 plan, Vodafone is offering unlimited calling along with 1.5GB daily data and 100 SMSes daily. The plan, however, is available in Delhi-NCR and Mumbai circles only.
