Vodafone has unveiled a new First Recharge (FRC) plan of Rs 351 offering benefits for 56 days from the date of activation. This new recharge joins the telco’s existing first recharge plans of Rs 176, Rs 229, Rs 496 and Rs 555. The price of this Rs 351 first recharge plan might be different in some circles, but the benefits remain the same. Interestingly, this plan from Vodafone does not ship with any data benefit, instead, it comes with calling and SMS benefits. As expected, the Rs 351 recharge from the UK-based telco offers truly unlimited voice calling, meaning there’s no daily or weekly FUP limit. It also comes with 100 SMS per day benefit for a period of 56 days. The other four First Recharge plans from Vodafone come with calling, data and SMS benefits, but the Rs 351 recharge doesn’t fall under that category. For the unaware, Airtel is also providing five First Recharge plans to its new users.

Unlimited Vodafone First Recharge of Rs 176
This Unlimited Vodafone First recharge of Rs 176 is the most basic of all First offerings from Vodafone and comes with a particular emphasis on calling customers. As part of this recharge, the subscribers get free unlimited calling to any mobile or landline for the validity of 28 days. Further, they also get access to 1GB 2G/3G/4G data for the same validity period.
Unlimited Vodafone First Recharge of Rs 229
The Vodafone First Recharge plan of Rs 229 ships more benefit as compared to the last plan. This plan also ships data for the subscribers along with the free calling benefit. The first benefit in this plan is the bundled unlimited calling facility. Apart from that, the subscribers of the Rs 229 Vodafone First plan get access to 1GB data per day, meaning that over the 28 days validity period the total data benefit for the subscribers is 28GB. There is also the added benefit of 100 SMS per day.
