Vi Smartphone Program has been launched in India, especially for Vodafone Idea prepaid subscribers. Vi customers who upgrade to a 4G or 5G phone are eligible for a recharge discount worth Rs 2,400 as a part of the subscription program. The discount can be availed only on recharges made via the official Vi app on the smartphone. This new program is available only in select states and for a limited time period.
Vodafone Idea Smartphone Program
- The company aims to push feature phone users towards smartphones with the new Smartphone Program.
- According to the Vodafone Idea official website, the Vi Smartphone Program is available for existing users who upgrade to 4G or 5G.
- However, it should be noted that Vi has not yet rolled out the 5G connectivity and is apparently in talks with network vendors to finalise the rollout.
- It appears that the talks are in the final stages and hence the telecom network wants to upgrade users with the program.
- The new Vi Smartphone Program is available to Vi users who upgrade to a smartphone or non-Vi users on a smartphone on purchase of a Vi SIM.
- The offer is valid from July 4th to September 30th in Punjab, Haryana, Chennai and the rest of Tamil Nadu.
Customers who are eligible for the offer will get a welcome SMS with the Rs 2,400 recharge discount details after a day of inserting the Vi SIM in their phone. To claim the Vi Smartphone Program, new and existing users must recharge with Truly Unlimited or Hero recharge packs worth Rs 299 or above. Eligible plans include Rs 319, Rs 359, Rs 368, Rs 399, Rs 409, Rs 475, Rs 479, Rs 499, Rs 539, Rs 599, Rs 601, Rs 666, Rs 719, Rs 839, Rs 901, Rs 902, Rs 903, Rs 1066, Rs 1499, Rs 1999, Rs 2899, Rs 2999, and Rs 3099 plans.
Other conditions to avail of the discount include that user must not use a smartphone that is not on the Vi network in the last 6 months. The recharge should be done via the official Vi app to claim the discount.
Once the Vi users recharge on a new smartphone, they will get a Rs 100 recharge discount coupon, which can be found under the ‘My Coupon’ section in the app. A new coupon will be added on every eligible recharge and they will auto-apply on all eligible Hero recharge packs.
