Another day and Vodafone India is back with a new Rs. 176 Super plan for its prepaid customers in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgrah circle.
The SuperPlan 176 gives customers unlimited voice calls to any network across the country even on roaming along with 1GB of 2G data per day for 28 days. Sadly the speed is 2G, but you can use the data to receive and send messages on instant messaging platform such as WhatsApp, Messenger among others.
Vodafone did not mention if the plan has FUP limit on voice calling, but in other plans, the voice calls are limited to 250 minutes per day and 1000 minutes per week.
The pack can be purchased from leading Vodafone Stores, Mini stores and multi-brand outlets across Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The same pack is available in other circles priced slightly higher at Rs. 181, and offers the same benefits of unlimited voice calls and 1GB of 2G data per day for 28 days.
Vodafone's latest plan should not be confused with the Rs. 199 plan. In addition to unlimited voice calls (with national roaming & FUP) the Rs. 199 plan offers only 1GB of 3G/4G data for 28 days. This means customers are getting only 1GB of data for the entire 28 days, instead of per day data.
