Vodafone takes on Jio with data pack of Rs 21
18 Mar 2018
Telecom service provider Vodafone has launched a new prepaid pack of Rs 21 under which it is offering users unlimited 3G or 4G data access for a time period of one hour.
The prepaid pack will be valid for a duration of one day.
This directly takes on Reliance Jio and counters its data packs with similar competitive pricing.
Similarly, Reliance Jio offers a data pack of Rs 19
Jio
In comparison, Jio offers a pack of Rs 19 under which users can avail 150MB of 4G data.
While this is a weaker option in front of Vodafone's unlimited data, it can be used for a longer time period of one day as opposed to Vodafone's one-hour availability.
Jio's option also includes unlimited voice calls, 20 SMS, and a free subscription to Jio apps.
Which one should you avail but?
Comparison
Even though the two offerings are similarly priced, their usage is quite different.
If a user wants a high volume of data for a short period of time, Vodafone's Rs 21 pack is a good option, but if he also wishes to use voice and messaging services for the entire day, Jio's Rs 19 pack is the way to go.
Airtel offers data pack for Rs 49 with 1GB data
Competition
Looking at comparable options, Airtel offers a prepaid data pack for Rs 49 with 1GB of 3G/4G data access and a validity of one day.
In other means to stay competitive, Vodafone is offering a cashback of up to Rs 2,200 on the purchase of select smartphones from Samsung, Itel, and Tecno.
Tecno buyers can also avail a free three-month subscription to Vodafone Play.
