We are in 2022 and most of the world is moving to the fifth-generation network or the 5G technology. However, in India, the telcos are still worried about providing services to 2G users. Even today, there are hundreds of millions of 2G network users in India. It has a lot to do with the demographics, but one more factor which affects the shift of 2G users to 4G users is... Read More
The Indian telecom industry has been in a constant state of survival since Jio has come to the market. The debt levels have been soaring because of liquidity issues that Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) have faced in the past. But since 2021, things have started becoming good for the telecom industry and signs of recovery are there. The improvements can be credited to the higher demand for digital services... Read More
Vodafone Idea is slightly behind in overall network performance compared to its competitors. However, if you look at the prepaid plans offered by the company, they are truly exceptional. The additional benefits which Vi offers with its prepaid plans are not offered by any other telecom operator in the country. Today, we will be focusing on all the plans offered by the company, which come with 1.5GB of daily data.... Read More
Vodafone Idea has just announced that it is bringing SonyLIV Premium add-on data pack for postpaid users as well. It is worth noting that the telco already offers a SonyLIV Premium bundled 4G data pack to prepaid users. But now, even the postpaid users will get the option to purchase such a data pack for a nominal cost of Rs 100. Let’s take a look at the add-on 4G data... Read More
To comply with the TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) rules on offering at least one prepaid plan with a complete month validity, the telcos brought in multiple plans around early 2022. Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Vi (Vodafone Idea), and BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) all offer at least or more prepaid plans with one month of validity now. But right now, we will just be looking at prepaid plans... Read More
Bharti Airtel, the second-largest telecom operator in the country, offers prepaid plans which are quite similar to what Jio and Vi (Vodafone Idea) offer. Not to imply that Airtel is copying the prepaid plans of other telcos, but the telecom market in India is such that the telcos are offering very similar prepaid plans to the users. But the telcos have also found a way to distinguish their services from... Read More
Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest telecom operator in the country, is planning to hike tariffs again later in the year. But the telco has been losing users at a rapid pace. It is worth noting that the number of 4G subscribers has grown, but the growth rate is just not enough. Vi wants to improve its average revenue per user (ARPU) so that it can increase its overall revenues from... Read More
Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea (Vi) are going to need the government at their side when the discussion of private 5G networks comes around. The telcos have demonstrated many use cases around 5G. But the common theme amongst most of these use-cases was that they were built for enterprises. The consumer-focused use cases were rare, and it makes sense because consumers just need to browse the internet, stream... Read More
The private telcos in India, including Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (Vi), have been working on 5G for a long-time now. But now, there’s something that threatens all the money spent by the telcos on the R&D (Research and Development) of new products and use-cases relevant to 5G. The government might be considering allocating spectrum to the enterprises in an administrative manner so that they can set up... Read More
The telecom operators are indeed trying to do their best with what they have got. The Indian telecom industry wasn’t at a very sweet spot over the last few years (since the time Jio came to the market.) Not making Jio the villain as it is just business at the end of the day. But it has been a long time since the arrival of Jio, and the telcos which... Read More
When it comes to prepaid plans, Vodafone Idea arguably has the best plans in terms of freebies and additional offers/benefits. While the prepaid plans of Vi are more expensive than Jio’s, the additional benefits that are offered to the users make Vi plans worth the money. Yes, in terms of network experience, Vi users in most parts of India won’t get as good performance as Jio or Airtel would deliver... Read More
Vodafone Idea is planning to do something different from its competitors. The third-largest telecom operator in the country believes more in a partnership model when it comes to offering more products/services to the existing customer base. Because the telco has more than 200 million customers, even businesses don’t mind partnering up with Vi. The company’s CEO, Ravinder Takkar, said (as per Business Standard) that Vi is looking to take its... Read More
