Vodafone Idea (Vi) has joined other Indian telecom operators in raising service tariffs in 2025 — a move the company has often said is necessary, as current rates are unsustainable. As previously reported by TelecomTalk, Vodafone Idea offers over 100 prepaid plans to customers. Now, the telco has increased the price of one of its annual plans that offers voice, data, and SMS benefits. The Rs 1,999 prepaid plan has been revised to Rs 2,249, with added benefits. Let’s take a look at what has changed.
