Guys, The chicken in the image has a fine logic. The bonus card of Happy hours now available is the market has same Chicken pic but on 19 pack which means its for morning Discount. For afternoon pack of 24 you have 2 cows dancing and for night pack of 21 you have 2 owls singing. So,
For Morning – its 2 chicks
For Afternoon – its 2 cows &
For Evening – its 2 owls.
Great piece of marketing by Vodafone!!

@ALL-IN-ALL
Vodafone seems to be expensive, but in metro like Mumbai, it is a good offer for Customers where everything is very expensive.

@TURKEE
thanks no clarification more
ALL-IN-ALL June 1, 2010 at 10:19 am
vodafone is very expensive
TURKEE June 1, 2010 at 1:33 am
@kaushik
Whatever call rate you have on your sim card, these packs will discount them by 50%. For example if you have 1p/sec, then during Happy Hours it will be 0.5p/sec. Need more clarification Dude??
kaushik June 1, 2010 at 12:35 am
half rate means what – half of Re 1 or 50 paise or 60 paise or 1 sec ?
TURKEE May 31, 2010 at 11:52 pm
Bhailog, Nowadays Telecom Operators are trying to keep new customers hooked to them only, indeed the reverse trend has increased due to new operators coming in. Customer buys a sim, uses its talktime & throws it into dustbin or 2nd case can be like getting sim just because it was free of cost & then making no use of it. This actually affects Companies revenue part. That’s one of the reason why Vodafone clubbed Happy Hour with FR for new customers, so they use the sim for atleast 3 months & experience their services. This is a good strategy to make customers stick to your network. I feel their is a need for these kind of benefits so as to make customer delighted & enhance your customer base.

Sirf 2se5pm wala plan acha hai….baki sab bakwash hai….
ADARSH May 31, 2010 at 10:46 pm
Ye plan toh 10din pehle launch ho gaya tha….
Keshav Jha May 31, 2010 at 10:38 pm
This is a very good concept, but the time duration should be more than 3 hours. It may be whole night, morning to mid day & mid day to night, means 8 hours. Price may be 20-40/- a/c to shift.
Abhi May 31, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Hey, What is great deal in this plan??
You pay 19-24 bucks and are getting discounted calls for damn 3 hours!!
bakwaas plan.
Better go for 1p/2sec plans..
TURKEE May 31, 2010 at 7:35 pm
These packs are available inbuilt for new customers of Vodafone as well. But he has to do first recharge of Rs. 66 or Rs. 67. In FRC 66 he will get 1p/sec tariff valid for one year, Rs. 56 Talk time & Happy Hour of BC 19 free for first month. On top up recharge of Rs. 50 & above in 2nd month he will also get 50 local V2V mts & Happy Hour 24 free for 2nd month. In third month if he again does topup recharge of Rs. 50 or above he will get 50 local V2V mts & Happy Hour 21 free for 2nd month. So their lies the usp of Vodafone, Clubbed happy hours with FRC for new customers. New customer will be benefitted more if they do first recharge of 66. In 67 its same except the tariff plan will be per minute as 40p/min loc & 50p@min std i.e. Per minute tariff will be applicable. If you want to enjoy these benefits, get a Vodafone sim card in Mumbai!!

@Ashish Gupta
There is no Happy Hour Concept from Competition. One of the drawbacks is that customer cannot choose his own time, but that’s what i mentioned earlier if this concept is taken wisely ahead it will be fruitful.
TURKEE May 31, 2010 at 6:46 pm
@zareef
We are talking about Mumbai. Yeh plan kahan pe hai Bhai??
Ashish Gupta May 31, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Where is the main 6pm to 9pm slot. What extra is vodafone offering compared to the competition ?
TURKEE May 31, 2010 at 6:32 pm
@Fahad
Vodafone operates in Mumbai with premium returns. Its a major break through by starting this concept of Happy Hours. This can go a long way ahead if carried forward in a better way..
TURKEE May 31, 2010 at 6:29 pm
@Ankit
Correct Ankit!! I was not expecting Vodafone will include chickens in their promotion activity. But I think these might be Chicken of Zoozoo’s.
Fahad May 31, 2010 at 6:29 pm

This product was conceived and implemented by VF VAS team
TURKEE May 31, 2010 at 5:38 pm
Only one drawback in Happy Hour. It should give all 3 different hours in one pack only. May be of 39/41. What say??
TURKEE May 31, 2010 at 5:36 pm
@rajiev
This is a customised picture made by Telecom Talk for this article. Right Mr. Sanjay?? Zoozoo’s are there as brand ambassadors of Vodafone, Don’t worry!!
