Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest private telecom operator in India, offers a range of prepaid plans to its over 215 million wireless subscribers as of July 2024. (Source: TRAI). Typically, we see recharges with validities of 1 month, 28 days, 56 days, 84 days, or 1 year. However, Vodafone Idea also provides plans with unusual validity options such as 24 days, 48 days, 64 days, and so on. We have previously explored Vi's offerings in the one-year and 84-day validity segments. Since recharges with unusual validity are not widely available, let's now learn about all of Vi's recharges with these unique validity days in this article.
