To counter Reliance Jio’s free calling Vodafone tweaks Rs 349 plan to include free outgoing roaming calls

Key Highlights

• The Rs 349 plan allows for 250 minutes per day and 1000 minutes for the week calls on roaming.
• The plan is valid for 28 days.
• Airtel and Idea also modified their plans to include free outgoing on roaming.

Vodafone India has tweaked its existing Rs 349 plan to include voice calls for both incoming and outgoing on roaming.

The calls have been limited to 250 minutes per day and 1000 minutes for the week.

The bundled plan which is valid for 28 days included 1GB per day 4G/3G data along with free subscription of Vodafone Play.

Pricing of the plan varies from circle to circle. For the same plan subscribers might have to pay Rs 357 or Rs 347 in some cases, a report by TelecomTalk said on Monday.

It also pointed out that Airtel and Idea have also made changes to their combo plans.

In October, Airtel announced that it had revised its Rs 349 plan for prepaid users. The modified plan included unlimited outgoing calls on roaming.

Even Idea Cellular tweaked its Rs 357 plan to include the same.

The incumbent mobile operators are in competition with Reliance Jio that offers free voice calling to all its subscribers.
