I want to know whether the different schemes of low tariff per minute advertised by vodafone (that is 40 p per minute etc) can be availed be me by just refilling with the stated amount.

As mentioned in this article, Vodafone is offering tariff as per your requirements w.e.f. 22nd Oct. You can avail this tariff on any regular Vodafone prepaid plan by recharging with 56 Rs.
Also you can retain your old postpaid number. Vodafone shall take back your old SIM & just ‘ll give you new prepaid SIM with your old number enabled on it.

Welcome move if you want to join prepaid bandwagon which is really heating up in whole the country. For detailed information about all prepaid tariff offerings/latest bonus cards by Vodafone Mumbai, you must visit any Vodafone Store nearer to you. Also thats the only place where you can transfer to prepaid from corporate postpaid.

@Fahad
airtel is cheaper than vodafone in this 1st minute standard rate offer in mumbai
Airtel cost Rs 48 per month and Vodafone Cost Rs 63 per month and vodafone validity is only for 5 months whereas airtel validity is 1 year
Fahad October 23, 2009 at 12:40 pm
@kaushik
thnx for correctng me…
I ws thnkng difrntly bt you showed exactly wat is right.
kaushik October 23, 2009 at 11:34 am
Hidden rental in above is
Re 1 for STD ( 1.50 – 0.50)
Re 0.50 for other local calls ( 1 – 0.50)
Re 0.60 for local VF calls ( 1 – 0.40)
so total Rs 2.10 per day i.e Rs 63 per month is rental which is hidden
then all calls at 50 paise flat
reliance offer much better than this

@Amjath
no u r wrong it is not 1 rupee per day… It is 50p or 60p /day …think about it your self…in othr words just rs 15 /month
sridhar raj October 23, 2009 at 7:05 am

What abt Maharashtra circle?
altaf October 22, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Airtel is offering local calls @ 50p/min for a period of 1 year with a one time recharge of RC40. No conditions apply.
Amjath October 22, 2009 at 5:37 pm
@kaushik
By charging 1st minute, indirectly customer pays Re 1*30 days=30 Rs as processing fee if he makes atleast 1 call everyday
Fahad October 22, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Strong offer by the king of mumbai….
kaushik October 22, 2009 at 3:23 pm
why the 1st minute will be charged as regular tariff ?
S.J.B October 22, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Good to see Vodafone following the footsteps Of Airtel..
Idea had too launched the 8 rs recharge with the same above tariff valid for a month like Airtel but it has stopped it now.
