Reliance Jio ultra-low cost 4G services and free calls have compelled all major telecom operators to release plans with competitive bundled data, as well as make calls and roaming free. Therefore, it will come as no surprise that Vodafone has expanded its special plans for Ramzan, which had been launched for UP West, to more regions in the country. The new Ramzan plans offer considerably high data than the norm, ISD calls (to select countries) at lower tariffs, and unlimited voice calls within India at Rs. 786.

As part of 'Vodafone Ramzan 786 Plan' postpaid users in Assam and North-East circle will get unlimited voice calling, unlimited national roaming, and 25GB data at Rs. 786. On the other hand, prepaid subscribers from Rajasthan will get full talk time and ISD calling to UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia at just Rs. 0.14 per second also at Rs. 786, as part of its 'Vodafone Holy Ramzan Pack'.

First talking about the North-East circle, Vodafone has announced that it will also offer a 50 percent discount on all premium number series that have '786' in their mobile number. This discount will be available for both prepaid as well as postpaid customers in the region.

Nidhi Lauria, Business Head, Assam and North East, Vodafone India, commented on the launch saying, "We at Vodafone wish our customer a wonderful and fulfilling month of Ramzan. Keeping the Ramzan spirit in mind, we have introduced this new offer to enable our customers to stay connected with their loved ones and share their emotional and spiritual experiences."


Moving to the Vodafone Holy Ramzan Pack in Rajasthan, the plan comes with a validity period of 56 days and allows users to place calls to USA and Canada at just Rs. 0.06 per second. Further, the company has introduced two more plans for the prepaid customers in the region.

"Vodafone FRC 445 offers unlimited local and national calls, plus 1GB 4G/3G data daily, with a 70 days validity period. Alternately, Vodafone FRC 295 provides unlimited Vodafone to Vodafone calls plus 1GB 4G/ 3G data daily, for 70 days," the company said in its release.

Earlier this week, Vodafone launched another Ramzan plan in the UP West and Uttarakhand circles. Called the Ramzan Special Pack, 2G and 3G customers can enjoy the unlimited data offer for Rs 5. and Rs. 19, respectively. 2G customers can also buy the pack for making unlimited local and STD calls plus unlimited data for Rs. 253. Under the offer, customers can also avail unlimited local and STD calls plus 1GB data per day for Rs. 345.

In August this year, Sunil Mittal-driven company introduced 10 GB 4G data offer at Rs 250 selectively only for the buyers of Samsung Galaxy J series smartphones.

The company followed it up by rolling out a similar offer at Rs 249 for Gujarat while launching 4G services initially in Ahmedabad. The special offer, which was introduced in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, has now been extended across India and is available across all brands of 4G handsets, the company added.

Arch rival and No 2 operator Vodafone India already slashed data price for its prepaid and postpaid customers to allow 10 GB at a cost of 1 GB for new 4G smartphone users in select metropolitan cities.


The move by operators come at close heels of Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Jio Infocomm’s telecom foray with cost-effective voice and data tariffs.

“This invitational offer has been designed for our data savvy customers who can now experience high speed broadband on Airtel’s 4G network with their new devices,” Ajai Puri, Director – Market Operations at Bharti Airtel said in the statement.

Airtel 'Happy Hours' Offers 50 Percent Data Back on In-App Downloads to Prepaid Customers




HIGHLIGHTS >>>>

- The new service is available to all prepaid customers by default

- Developers don't have to pay Airtel to use this feature

- YouTube, FastFilmz have already integrated the option in their apps


Airtel on Thursday announced 'Happy Hours' for its prepaid customers that will offer them 50 percent data back for all in-app content downloads done between 3am and 5am. In order to execute this offer, Airtel has encouraged developers to integrate the option of scheduling the time for downloads within their apps.

Happy Hours is available to all Airtel prepaid customers by default and does not require an opt-in. Users will benefit on downloading non-urgent in-app content like videos, photos, and music albums as they will receive half of the total data spent on downloads between the given times. For Example, if you schedule a music album download with size 200MB, you will be credited back with 100MB of data.

Airtel has provided a free API to developers for them to integrate the download schedule mechanism, potentially thwarting net neutrality contentions. "Any App developer can integrate with Airtel Happy Hours in four simple steps and give their users the option to automatically schedule downloads between 3.00am and 5.00am so their users get 50 percent data back on downloads," the company said in an emailed statement.

As of now, YouTube and FastFilmz have already integrated the option and other apps are likely to follow, Airtel said. In order to access this feature, all that an Airtel prepaid customer needs to do inside YouTube app is choose the Smart Offline option on their chosen video and select 'Save overnight with Airtel Happy Hours' option to download the video between 3.00am and 5.00am and receive 50 percent of data back.

Interestingly, the company said that it hopes that this new feature will have a positive impact on the overall network experience during the day/peak-hours as 'Happy Hours' might help shift some of the non-urgent data traffic to non-peak hours and help reduce congestion.
